“I see graphic design as the organization of information that is semantically correct, syntactically consistent and pragmatically understandable. I like it to be visually powerful, intellectually elegant, and above all timeless”

Graphic designerThe 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.

Where have you bought it?
Could you share with me how you manage to tear each month off the pad so clean? It would be nice to just hold one end and violently sweep across the calendar, quickly changing the personality of the room, however it rips instantly. Maybe it’s easiest to remove the calendar from the wall and tear it more carefully.
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.
@Emanuel You will love this calendar. For sure.
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. :)
