Collection: Ring-a-Date 'ringadate' Calendar

The Ring-a-Date Calendar by Giorgio Della Beffa

Also searched online as the "ringadate calendar," this perpetual desk calendar is a genuine piece of 1970s Italian design history. Created by designer Giorgio Della Beffa and produced by Euroway in Turin, it uses a simple mechanism of three rings that you move by hand to display the day, date, and month — no batteries, no paper refills, no obsolescence.

Molded from durable ABS plastic during Italy's Space Age design boom, the Ring-a-Date calendar earned a permanent place in the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) collection in New York for its minimalist, futuristic form. Today it's produced by Della Beffa's own grandchildren, keeping the original design and manufacturing process alive.

Available in green, white, orange, and limited-edition Café Mousse, plus replacement ring sets in multiple color palettes.
