Defined by a perfectly round shape, glossy yellow plastic surface, and contrasting black rotating dial, the calendar balances playful color with clean geometry.

Designed for continuous use, it allows the date to be adjusted manually through a rotating mechanism, making it a functional object independent of any specific year. Its slim profile keeps it close to the wall, enhancing its sculptural clarity and visual impact.

Often associated with the visual language of space age inspired design, this calendar reflects an era when everyday objects embraced experimentation, plastic materials, and expressive form. Preserved in good vintage condition with visible signs of use and light discoloration to the numerals, it remains a distinctive example of Italian wall design from the 1970s. See less
