A calendar, a side project that has been active for the past 10 years, always in 100 copies, always in letterpress printing. Each edition becomes the possibility of experimenting at random, without briefs, without predefined rules or schemes: from illustration, to layout, to type design, to product design.

Finally the paper and the inks, but also the printing machine. Starting from a free inspiration, also in collaboration with other designers, sometimes starting from scratch and redoing the work on the go, more often the first one is good, to recover the pleasure and fun of an analogue, tactile, material production to keep hanging on the wall all year round. The author will tell you and let you touch how a project born as an experiment is now a classic.
