Calendar "Ring a Date" Yellow
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.
