What a beautiful design. I would love to have one, but are they really 425 Euros!? Can’t imagine spending that on a calendar, even if it does last a lifetime.
Great color palate, gives the rainbow of colors feel, but without being tacky. But, half my problem is remembering what day of the week it is, not the month. It’s Thursday, right?
one of a good design. But watch out for the kids, they will play with it.

Annie, your observation got me thinking, but I believe two cubes are enough. I think if one cube has 0,1,2,7,8,9 and the other has 1,2,3,4,5,6 you can make every date from 01 to 31!

Nope. I was wrong. What I said before wouldn’t allow for 07, 08, 09. My husband figured it out. One must have 0,1,2,7,8,9 and the other has 0,1,2,3,4,5. The 9 can be a 6 or a 9.
Great design, but not very practical. It doesn’t even have the days. I could buy years of those regular calendars with the 425 Euro and I don’t have to change the date everyday. I really wouldn’t call this a calendar, it’s just for show.
Leighs husband figured it out…
I hope to make an cheaper version of my design. And yes the calendar is as much a sculpture as an actual calendar. It is designed to light up your day and make your surrounding colorfull. Best regards the designer of Rainbow
