Camping Today: A Tent Calendar for Outdoor Enthusiasts

Revolutionizing Planning with a DIY Miniature Tent Calendar

As the world grappled with the pandemic, the appeal of the great outdoors surged, leading to a newfound popularity in camping. Lisi Cao, Yang Yixin, and Dai Xianmin capitalized on this trend by creating a calendar that doubles as a DIY tent, allowing individuals to bring a slice of the adventure home. This tent calendar is not just a nod to escapism but also a practical tool for organizing future excursions. Its multifunctional design includes storage for stationery and a pocket for calendar cards, ensuring that both adventure and organization go hand in hand.

What sets this calendar apart is its interactive nature. Crafted from aluminum alloy and sailcloth fabric, the tent calendar invites users to engage in a hands-on experience, assembling their mini tent with ease. The design team's dedication to sustainability is evident in the eco-friendly kraft paper packaging, which ensures the product's integrity during transport and adds to its aesthetic appeal. The calendar's linen-cut prints beautifully illustrate the joy of camping throughout the seasons, offering warmth and inspiration year-round.

The technical specifications of the tent calendar are meticulously designed to ensure durability and ease of assembly. Measuring 250mm in width, 125mm in depth, and 168mm in height, the calendar is a compact yet significant presence on any desk. The design team's creative and art direction, combined with expert fabrication and management, culminates in a product that is both functional and evocative of the camping experience.

From its inception in June 2022 to its market debut in October of the same year, the tent calendar has been a labor of love for the Guangzhou-based team. The design process involved overcoming challenges such as achieving the perfect balance between a sturdy structure and an easy-to-assemble product. The result is a calendar that not only serves its purpose but also stands as a testament to the team's ingenuity and dedication to design excellence.

The tent calendar's recognition as a Bronze winner in the A' Art and Stationery Supplies Design Award 2024 is a testament to its originality and functionality. This accolade highlights the design's contribution to enhancing quality of life by combining art, design, and technology in a harmonious and innovative way. The patent and copyrights for this unique concept are held by Guangzhou JiYanWuShe Culture Co., Ltd, Guangzhou XiXiangFeng Cultural Development Co., Ltd, and Yang Yi Xin, ensuring the originality of this delightful blend of camping and planning is preserved.
