About Syn Universalkalender

Syn er en innovativ kalender/månedsplanlegger med et unikt oppsett for ulike og universelle tidsintervaller. Den er designet som en mekanisk, tredimensjonal planlegger som hjelper folk med å organisere oppgaver og hendelser uten å bruke en digital applikasjon. Inspirert av filosofien til Lo Tek Design, optimaliserer den bruken av en fysisk kalender og gir mer detaljert informasjon. Strukturdesignet er tilpasset tidsmønsteret, noe som gjør den universell for enhver måned og dag. Den kan hjelpe med å spore og registrere hendelser over en praktisk tidsperiode.
