The "Module" calendar stands out from other designs due to its unique properties. Each individual piece can be combined to form a three-month calendar. The cube-shaped stacking modules can be assembled freely, providing a customizable experience for the user. This flexibility is a key strength of the design, setting it apart from traditional calendars.
Measuring 167(h) x 60(w) x 60(d)mm, the "Module" calendar is compact yet functional. The design was conceptualized and brought to life by Katsumi Tamura, with assistance from designer Kohei Miyasaka. The team worked tirelessly to ensure that the calendar was not only practical but also aesthetically pleasing.
The "Module" calendar was launched in July 2012. Since its release, it has garnered positive attention for its innovative design and functionality. The calendar embodies the concept of "Life with Design", a philosophy that emphasizes the transformative power of quality designs. Such designs offer comfort, surprise, and enrich the user's space.
The "Module" calendar's innovative design and transformative power were recognized with the Platinum A' Design Award in 2013. This prestigious award is given to designs that showcase exceptional innovation, unmatched professionalism, and contribute to societal wellbeing. The "Module" calendar certainly fits this criteria, pushing the boundaries of design and technology to create a product that is not only functional but also enriches the user's life.
In conclusion, Katsumi Tamura's "Module" calendar is a testament to the transformative power of design. It is more than just a calendar; it is a design element that enhances space and transforms the user's mindset. The recognition it has received is a testament to its innovative design and the talent of its creators.
