About Irozuki 캘린더

이로즈키(Irozuki)는 매달 색이 바뀌는 벽걸이 캘린더입니다. 달마다 서로 다른 색과 표정을 보여주기 때문에, 심플한 인테리어 속에서 캘린더가 다채로운 액센트 역할을 합니다. 한 달이 끝나면 사용이 끝난 장을 캘린더 뒤쪽으로 옮깁니다. 6개월이 지나면 모든 장을 한 번에 뒤집어, 두 번째 색 조합이 나타납니다. 12개월 동안 단 여섯 장의 인쇄 용지만 사용됩니다. 캘린더의 크기는 220mm × 260mm입니다. 패키지는 꽃 모양으로, 두 겹의 종이를 재단해 제작되어 어떤 방식으로 진열해도 그 형태가 유지됩니다.

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.
