About Irozuki Dagatal

Irozuki er veggdagatal sem skiptir um lit í hverjum mánuði. Hver mánuður sýnir nýjan lit og nýja tjáningu, þannig að dagatalið verður litríkt hreyfiafl innan um annars einfalt innanhússumhverfi. Þegar mánuði lýkur er blaðið sem lokið er fært aftast í dagatalið. Eftir sex mánuði er öllum blöðunum snúið við í einu og þá birtist annað sett af litasamsetningum. Aðeins sex prentuð blöð eru notuð fyrir tólf mánuði. Dagatalið er 220 mm x 260 mm að stærð. Umbúðirnar eru í laginu eins og blóm og eru skornar úr tvöföldum pappír svo að formið haldist óháð því hvernig dagatalið er sýnt.

Production Technology: How to use
Step 1: When the month is over, bring the finished one to the back of the calendar.
Step 2: After 6 months, bring June to the back of the calendar.
Step 3: Turn over all papers together and the rest of 6 months starts with Irozuki.
You can enjoy the different colours every month after bringing a piece of the calendar to the back. 6 months later, another colour combinations will appear for you.
We could make this changing point by using only 6 papers for 12 months.
Design Challenge: The package design part was the most challenging point of this. We wanted to pack this calendar like a flower but it was very difficult to keep their flower shape because it must be hung.
So we designed a flower-shaped package’s basement with double cutting papers.
Then we could keep it like a flower on any display.
Research: We went to lots of stores and exhibitions related with calendar and lifestyle for researching about colorful calendars and products. And our friends’ houses as well, for researching reality. Then we figured out a colorful calendar would be able to be a colorful interior/product cheaper than stylish designers products.
We believe a simple lifestyle, a simple interior are very good choices. But we decided to make Irozuki as a beautiful spot color like a cool interior product.
Inspiration: We aim to make a calendar like monthly flowers.
We believe a simple lifestyle, a simple interior are very good choices. But we recommend adding Irozuki as a beautiful spot colour like a cool interior product.
