I saw this Perforated Calendar too late to include it in any of my round ups, but I had to share. If you haven’t seen it yet, this little gem has a perforated strip for each day to be torn off and discarded. I will never tire of innovative calendar design!

Talk about watching time burn! When I first saw this calendar made of matches by designer Yurko Gutsulyak (for VS Energy International Ukraine Financial industrial group) I was in completely awe of the sheer genius behind the product.
“The idea was to create as unique a calendar so that the process of its presenting would become an outstanding event. Alongside with this, it was important to expose the idea of “energy”, as it is predetermined by the name and logo of the company. Each page is a month and it looks like a comb made of matches that correspond to the days. The matches are real and the construction of the calendar is absolutely safe.”
I’ll be the first to admit that with FOUR Calendar Roundups, things have gotten a tad bit out of control. But there are so, so many good ones floating about that I can’t resist the urge to share and pass on the goodness!

Susanna Hertrich designed the Chrono_Shredder while studying the idea of human hibernation.
“The Chrono_Shredder is a device that makes past time tangible. It is a hybrid between calendar, clock and waste producing automaton. It has no on/off-button, thus it is unstoppable, just like time. It features the 365 days of the year represented on a paper-roll. The paper-roll is led through a hacked paper-shredder, which is programmed to use exactly 24 hours to shred one ‘day’.”

Patricia Zapata (aka A Little Hut) had the best idea ever when she created her calendar as a PDF you purchase then download. I saw 2008’s, but was too slow to act. Before I knew it, it was March. Not this year – I was her first customer! I can’t wait to go all crafty on mine and get out all of the lovely little snippets of paper and things that I’ve set aside for just this sort of thing.
Every time I see a new perpetual calendar I can help but think that I need one. They’re economical – I’d never have to buy another calendar again in my life. They look like they’d be fun to play with and rearrange every month. And I just all around like how sleek and modern they look. The Futuro Perpetual Wall Calendar is my latest find.
