Dicecal Multifunctional Calendar

Dicecal Multifunctional Calendar

Dicecal Multifunctional Calendar is an innovative fusion of a traditional calendar and role-playing game dice, designed by Andrea Kis as a creative solution for both time management and gaming needs. This sophisticated paper-based design object, which earned the Silver A' Design Award in Graphics, Illustration and Visual Communication Design category, features a distinctive dodecahedron shape with twelve sides, each representing a month of the year while simultaneously functioning as multiple varieties of gaming dice. The calendar's construction employs precise origami techniques using high-quality paper (120-320 g/m2), requiring meticulous attention to detail during the folding and assembly process, which takes approximately 30-45 minutes per unit. The standard version measures 8 centimeters in height with 32-millimeter edges, while a larger variant stands at 13 centimeters with 46-millimeter edges, available in both black-on-white and white-on-black color schemes. Each face of the calendar incorporates a sophisticated randomization system for the dice numbers, ensuring optimal probability distribution - for example, the two-sided die representation includes both numbers 1 and 2 repeated six times. The design seamlessly integrates modern typography using PF Handbook Pro font with stylized die graphics, creating a harmonious balance between functionality and aesthetic appeal. This multifunctional object represents a significant innovation in calendar design, particularly appealing to gaming enthusiasts and those seeking unique desk accessories that combine practicality with playful interaction.
