The Design

About Kayan 2022 Kalender

Kayan 2022 er en falsbar kalender laget for et arkitektkontor. Kalenderen er trykket på ubestrøket, trefritt papir og brettes sammen til en liten kvadratisk form som er lett å bære med seg og oppbevare. Når arket brettes ut, blir det til en stor kvadratisk plakat som passer på en vegg eller en tavle. Hver måned vises med en geometrisk form, og datoene flyter rundt formene. Helgedagene er trykket i en annen farge for rask lesing. Åpne hvite flater gir plass til notater. Etter at året er omme, kan plakaten snus for å vise en collage av arkitektoniske detaljer.

Unique Properties: The concept was to create a unique calendar design that has dual function and can be used after the calendar days end. It was designed in a foldable pocket size to make it easier for clients to collect and consider, when the calendar is opened it transforms into a big square poster that can be displayed on a board or wall. The dates are gray in color and the weekends are colored differently for easier identification. The numbers flow around the unique iconic shapes. Its design is very simple and can be easily read without the need of adding days above the dates. The poster is double sided, one side has the calendar design and the opposite side has a collage of architecture details.

Design Challenge: The concept design was the most challenging part in this design and then presenting it in a way to convince the business owner to produce it.
Research: Digital research of similar unique calendar designs, check availability of materials in the market, Kuwait is a very limited market in terms of resources and can be challenging to find the right materials for the right project. But keeping it simple was the best decision made.
Inspiration: The logo was inspired by the "Kayan" logo design, using the simplified shapes from the logo (triangles and squares) they created 12 unique shapes in different forms that looks like a broken cube, each form creates a unique iconic shape. The geometric shapes represents the architecture designs that are developed by the architecture firm.
Project Duration: Project started in August in Kuwait and was printed in December and distributed to Kayan's Clients
Operation Flow: The Calendar has plenty of white space for the user to add notes and mark important dates, which makes it very practical and functional. When the year ends the poster can be flipped to use it as a decorative poster to display the unique design of the architecture designed by Kayan Office.
