The Stendig Calendar

End of each year, there is a first thing I write on my new year’s shopping list. It is the Stendig Calendar designed by Massimo Vignelli in 1966. Since 1966, this calendar has been a part of a design collection in The Museum of Modern Art, New York. This large, 122 x 91cm, calendar is minimally(well) designed, functional, and can work as an art piece for an empty wall.

This Calendar is a largest and the most exquisite art piece in my small apartment. First day of each month, I tear off a page. But, what do I do with this beautiful garbage? Once the month is over, it is just a large piece of paper with numbers on it. Well… I use it to wrap gifts for my designer friends, and of course, they love it.

The clean simplicity of the calendar is very appealing. And I adore your idea to use it as gift wrap- quite original, and very elegant.

It looks amazing! I am big fan of clear and clean design and typography and this calendar is the perfect combination. I am moving in to a new house, could definitely use one of those. :)
