1、 Design concept

This work is designed with the core concepts of sustainability, minimalism, healing, and craftsmanship. It abandons the impetuous feeling of industrial mass-produced disposable calendars and uses natural wood panels to create a return to the simple and natural texture.
The design pursues the concept of "long-term companionship of one object", allowing calendars to break away from their simple nature as timekeeping tools. They are not only practical daily objects for recording time and sensing the flow of seasons, but also desktop ornaments that combine maker craftsmanship and aesthetics; At the same time, through the interactive form of assembling and adjusting by hand, users can slow down and feel the sedimentation of time in the process of adjusting the month and date every day, conveying the beautiful meaning of long-term companionship and constant renewal.

2、 Inspiration source

1. The classic timing wisdom of traditional old desk calendars and permanent perpetual calendars, with the core idea of no need to replace them every year and the ability to be permanently recycled, ensures that time recording is no longer wasted every year;

2. Handmade with natural and minimalist wooden aesthetics, suitable for various warm scenes such as classrooms, desks, and offices, and in line with the natural texture expression of maker laser carved wooden works;

3. makerSTEMEducational philosophy: Taking into account hands-on assembly, structural logic, and popular science of date and calendar knowledge, it combines the dual value of teaching practice and product display, making it very suitable for young makers' manual creation and technology club achievement display;

4. A must-have item for daily desktops, I hope to create an original handmade work that is durable, temperature resistant, and practical.

3、 Innovation Highlights

1. Design Innovation

- The appearance adopts a minimalist wooden geometric framework+Sliding window design, clean and sharp lines, laser hollow cutting neat and exquisite, retaining the warm texture of the original wood, environmentally friendly without excess industrial coating, natural and simple yet highly sophisticated;

- Layered nested modular layout, clear partitioning of months, weeks, and dates, scientifically arranged visual layout at a glance, and equipped with a vertical base for stable placement, desktop storage does not take up space;

- Taking into account the aesthetic education attribute, it is not only a timing tool, but also a wooden handicraft and maker display work, with both decorative and commemorative significance.

2. Functional innovation

- Permanent perpetual calendar function: sliding slider for months+The date sliding plate combination adjustment can be adapted to any normal year or leap year,12Endless cycle for months, say goodbye to changing calendars every year, green and environmentally friendly with zero waste;

- Strong interactive experience: manually flipping the month and date panel, easy and intuitive operation, suitable for all ages, can also help children recognize the month, week, and date, and has the function of early education and intelligence;

- Stable and durable structure: The spliced mortise and tenon buckle structure is easy to assemble and not easily disassembled, with a service life far exceeding that of disposable paper and plastic calendars.

3. Technological integration and innovation

- Using laser precision cutting technology, the cutting edge of the board is smooth and free of burrs, and the scale and digital text are engraved clearly and accurately, achieving complex and regular hollowing and high-precision pattern forming, perfectly reflecting the advantages of modern maker laser processing technology;

- Traditional perpetual calendar timing logic + The cross-border integration of modern CNC maker processing technology has transformed traditional calendar culture and mathematical date laws into tangible works through modern digital manufacturing technology;

- Lightweight board integrated disassembly design, low assembly difficulty after laser cutting, suitable for mass production in maker classrooms and technological manual activities, balancing teaching practicality and industrial processing precision, perfectly showcasing maker's "design"-modeling-processing-Assemble the complete creative process.
