The Ring-a-Date Calendar by Giorgio Della Beffa is a classic example of mid-century modern design, created in the 1970s during Italy's Space Age design boom. Produced by Euroway, the calendar features a distinctive mechanism where users manually adjust three colored rings to set the current date. This tactile interaction offers a unique, visually engaging way to track the days. Originally celebrated for its minimalist and futuristic aesthetic, it even earned a place at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York.

Giorgio Della Beffa
Giorgio Della Beffa was part of the wave of Italian designers who embraced plastic as a serious design material during the 1970s polymer boom, working with manufacturer Euroway in Turin. His Ring-a-Date calendar earned lasting recognition for its playful, hands-on mechanism, eventually going on display at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Decades later, his grandchildren revived the design, reissuing the calendar in new colorways while staying true to his original vision.
