This clever calendar by Spanish designer Oscar Diaz uses the natural capillary action of ink spreading across paper to display the date each day. Every month a different coloured ink will spread across the paper chain of numbers.
Ink Calendar makes use of the reliable speed at which ink will spread across paper to therefore accurately indicate the date. One a day, they are filled with ink until the end of the month. The calendar enhances the perception of time passing in a more natural way.
The ink colors are based on a spectrum, which relate to a “color temperature scale”, each month having a color related to our perception of the weather on that month. The colors range from dark blue in December to three shades of green in spring or orange and red in the summer.
