The Wooden Perpetual Calendar

A slower, more tactile way to mark the passing of each day. This retro-inspired perpetual calendar combines warm wood, simple typography and manual controls to create a functional object with the character of a vintage desk accessory. If you love the Zara Home manual table calendar aesthetic and vintage-inspired home accessories, this piece brings a similarly warm, nostalgic character to your desk or living space — while standing as an independent design in its own right. Instead of relying on a screen or disposable paper pages, the calendar is adjusted by hand. Turn the side controls to set the day of the week, date and month, creating a small daily ritual that feels deliberately analog. A Calendar Made to Stay Designed as a perpetual calendar, it can be reused year after year. The display is divided into three clear sections: weekday at the top, a large central date window, and the month below. The oversized date keeps the layout easy to read, while the smaller weekday and month windows maintain a balanced, understated look. Warm Wood, Vintage Character The wooden body gives the piece a rich, warm presence, complemented by metal side controls and a raised base. Rounded corners, layered display windows and restrained typography create a look that feels distinctly retro without becoming overly decorative. It sits naturally on a desk, bedside table, shelf or console, functioning as both a practical calendar and a small interior object. A Daily Analog Ritual Each section is adjusted manually using the controls positioned along the side. There is no screen and no automatic date change — simply turn the controls to move the display forward as each day arrives. It is a simple interaction, but one that makes checking the date feel more intentional. Specification Weight: Around 1 kg Size: 19 x 15 x 6 cm Material: Wood
