Calendar 2027 Every day is a new day

Begin each morning with a quiet act of renewal: tear away yesterday’s page and welcome the new day waiting beneath. The Karel Martens 2027 tear-off calendar transforms this simple gesture into a daily moment of joy. The 2027 edition brings his pioneering spirit into your everyday life: a year of color, rhythm, and design history, experienced one page at a time. For those who loved the now-discontinued Five Metal Shop risograph calendar, Martens offers a different but equally joyful daily encounter with bold, surprising color. Each fresh sheet reveals a risograph-printed composition in Martens’s signature style—layered circles, lines, textures, and colors that shift from playful to contemplative. Over the course of the year, these small surprises accumulate into a rhythm of art and time, turning the everyday into something extraordinary. Details Measures 15 x 21 cm Counts 736 pages Karel Martens (b. 1939) is one of the most celebrated figures in Dutch graphic design. For over six decades, he has explored color, chance, and abstraction, often repurposing printing forms, found materials, and typographic fragments into playful, improvised compositions. His influence extends far beyond his own studio—he co-founded the Werkplaats Typografie master’s programme and is currently the subject of a major retrospective at the Stedelijk Museum, Karel Martens – Unbound.
