Douban Movie Calendar 2019

A Decorative Calendar with a Cinematic Twist

The Douban Movie Calendar brings the magic of movies into your everyday life

The Douban Movie Calendar, designed by Douban.com, is a unique and stylish calendar that combines the love for movies with the functionality of a desktop accessory. Inspired by the words of director Theo Angelopoulos, who believed that movies could make time lapse sweet, this calendar aims to bring joy and surprises to ordinary days.

What sets the Douban Movie Calendar apart is its minimalist design and decorative appeal. The calendar features a simple metal bracket with a detachable ring, reminiscent of a cinema seat. It can be used not only as a timing tool but also as a decorative piece for both office desktops and interior design.

Each page of the calendar is printed with copyrighted movie stills and classic lines, connecting the world of movies to your daily life. The calendar offers a unique interaction as well. Instead of a tear-away design, it is a flip desk calendar, allowing you to enjoy the movie-themed visuals throughout the year. The binding ring can be taken off, enabling users to collect the calendar page of a special day or give it as a gift to a friend.

The Douban Movie Calendar is crafted with attention to detail and quality. The calendar bracket is made of 2mm steel, bent and formed through cutting and punching. It undergoes a high-temperature baking process and is coated with electrostatic powder for durability. The stainless-steel ring is carefully punched and bent, with the outside brushed and the inside polished.

Measuring at 134mm in width, 121mm in depth, and 220mm in height, the Douban Movie Calendar is a compact and stylish addition to any space. It comes packaged in dimensions of 158mm in width, 258mm in depth, and 145mm in height, making it an ideal gift for movie enthusiasts.

The Douban Movie Calendar project started in April 2018 and was completed in September 2018 in Beijing. It was launched in the online shopping store in September 2018, gaining recognition for its unique design and functionality. The calendar has been awarded the Iron A' Design Award in the Art and Stationery Supplies Design category in 2019, highlighting its well-designed, practical, and innovative nature.

Bring the magic of movies into your everyday life with the Douban Movie Calendar. Let each day be filled with the joy and inspiration that only movies can bring.
