About Kayan 2022 Calendar

Kayan 2022 este un calendar pliabil creat pentru un birou de arhitectură. Calendarul este tipărit pe hârtie necretată, fără conținut de lemn, și se pliază într-un mic pătrat, ușor de transportat și depozitat. Odată desfăcută, coala devine un poster pătrat de dimensiuni mari, potrivit pentru un perete sau un panou. Fiecare lună este reprezentată printr-o formă geometrică, iar datele curg în jurul acestor forme. Weekend-urile sunt tipărite într-o culoare diferită pentru o citire rapidă. Spațiile albe deschise permit notarea unor însemnări. După încheierea anului, posterul poate fi întors pentru a dezvălui un colaj de detalii arhitecturale.
