Production Technology: PACHIKA paper is one of the unique fine papers that it becomes translucent by hot stamping. Letters, logos and simple patterns are often used in this effect as designs. Their challenge is not to use this effect to "draw" the detailed and delicate realism of nature and the living world that is difficult to see with the naked eye, but to "extract" them as they are by taking advantage of the characteristics of paper.
Design Challenge: As for hot stamping process for inner parts, experimental testing was repeated to raise its quality. At the first, all six pieces of pattern are pressed together on large sized paper, but it was ineffective because of weakness of stamping pressure. For this reason, they chose the time-consuming work of pressing one by one. It's no exaggeration to say that skills of technical experts, extensive knowledge and quality of craftsmanship made this calendar even more attractive.
Inspiration: The world is now at a crossroads, we are holding the same problem and thinking what we should do now for the future. How can human live better in harmony with Living things on the earth? If you focus carefully on a living thing around you from the viewpoint of ZERO, you can see the traces of life that continue evolving while repeating the purification process unnoticeably but quite dynamically moment to moment. Looking at the world with your clear eyes is one way to find clues to a better world.
Project Duration: Their originative calendars has been gifted to their clients and business partner on every beginning of the year since the company established 2015. It is the tool that not only expressing gratitude, but also calling to mind the pure delight, fun and enjoyment of creative design.
Operation Flow: Each calendar cards are inserted in a slit of wooden cube. By natural light, home lightings as well, it penetrates inside of 0-frame then patterns appear. Sensuous appearances combine solid white and organic inner pattern attract your attention for observation. And furthermore, you will immerse yourself in deep thoughts for a while. It is also as a part of the interior object, people will have enjoyment of replacing each calendar card seasonally.
