If you’re feeling overwhelmed with calendar options as the new year approaches, consider a simpler choice for 2017. The DodeCal, recently featured by WIRED, fits all 365 days of the year into a wooden package.
The finished product may look simplistic, but the work required to make it a reality was anything but. Ric Bell, designer and head of the London studio Post, knew he wanted to engrave a calendar onto a 12-sided shape, but dodecahedrons usually consist of 12 equal pentagons. To avoid the awkwardness of printing a square calendar on a five-sided plane, he decided to go with a rhombic-dodecahedron instead.
