Creative Desk Calendars: Functional Art for Everyday Inspiration
Transforming Time Management into a Daily Experience
BBDO Scratch Effect Desk Calendar by BBDO Bangkok
In a design landscape often saturated with the conventional, BBDO Bangkok stands as a lighthouse of creativity whose beam never dims. Every creation that emerges from this house carries the signature of innovation and the courage to be different, to never replicate, and to resist imitation—this philosophy is deeply embedded in every design they produce.
Every encounter with BBDO's work feels like opening a door to a new dimension of creativity. Their 2015 desk calendar is no exception—transcending the role of a mere timekeeping tool to become living artwork that challenges perception and invites interaction. With the special "Scratch Effect" technique that conceals surprises within each day, it creates an experience of excitement and discovery that unfolds throughout the year.
Built upon a foundation of luxurious black-core Burano paper—a rare material employed with tactical brilliance—this calendar features white and red ink that boldly contrasts against the deep black background, creating a mysterious and intriguing aesthetic. Each page is coated with a special solution in strategic positions, hiding messages or images that wait to be revealed as users enjoy the tactile pleasure of scratching away the surface to discover daily secrets.
Attention to detail manifests in every component, from the black paper band that elegantly embraces all twelve monthly sheets to the meticulously designed calendar cover with precise slots for organized storage of the entire calendar set. The harmonious blend of sophistication and simplicity, mystery and playfulness, transforms this calendar into more than a timepiece—it becomes an art piece that inspires its users throughout 365 days. This dedication to creating not just beauty but memorable impressions is what maintains BBDO's position as a leader in creative innovation.
