Flowers Calendar

Flowers Calendar is an innovative three-dimensional calendar design that seamlessly integrates functional timekeeping with aesthetic interior decoration, featuring a distinctive vase design showcasing twelve different seasonal flowers throughout the year. Created by art director Katsumi Tamura and designer Takahiro Sugawara, this sophisticated piece transforms the traditional concept of a calendar into an engaging visual experience that enriches living spaces. The calendar, measuring 192mm in height, 76mm in width, and 22mm in depth, demonstrates exceptional attention to detail in its execution and presentation. Launched in July 2013 for the 2014 calendar year, this design exemplifies the philosophy that quality design has the power to modify space and transform the mindset of its users. The calendar's universal appeal stems from its use of flowers as a motif that transcends age, gender, and cultural boundaries, offering a fresh perspective on temporal organization while simultaneously serving as an engaging piece of room decor. The design's ability to bring seasonal changes indoors through its monthly flower variations creates a dynamic connection between interior spaces and natural cycles. This innovative approach to calendar design earned recognition with a Golden A' Design Award in the Graphics, Illustration and Visual Communication Design category, acknowledging its excellence in combining practical functionality with aesthetic appeal. The design's success lies in its ability to offer multiple layers of user engagement - from its primary function as a time-keeping device to its role as an interior design element that provides comfort through visual appeal, tactile interaction, and spatial enhancement.
