Dimension in the Shadows 卓上カレンダーについて

「Dimension in the Shadows」は、黒い厚紙をレーザーカットして製作した卓上カレンダーです。セットには12ヶ月分のカードが含まれ、それぞれ異なるデザインが施されています。各カードは、小さな木製キューブの切り込みに差して立てる仕様です。土曜日・日曜日・祝日の日付は切り抜かれ、平日はハーフカットで表現されています。抽象的な図柄はいずれも、日本の移り変わる四季の情景を想起させます。光にかざすと、鋭いアウトラインが紙の彫刻のように浮かび上がります。光の動きとともに落ちる影の形も変化し、日々の暮らしに静かな趣を添えます。

独自の特性: Black paperboard is carried out fine laser cut, come out 12 pieces of differently designed monthly calendar cards, mounted each one in a slit of wooden cube. Each figures may causes optical illusion as 3-dimensional. It is worthy for observation as a kind of sculpture, perceive a sharp outline attractively at back light. In every moment, the casted shadow forms different shape from the paper itself according to the light come in, add a little entertainment in everyday scene respectively.

タグ: calendar, desk calendar, laser cut, light and shadow, dimension, black paper, 3D, silhouette, optical illusion, japan
製造技術: To know and consider the durability of paper and representability by laser cut process, experimental testing was repeated. Using 2 power level of laser, being cut out dates mean Saturday, Sunday and national holiday, other ones of half cutting mean weekdays. It was made fine adjustment to entire balancing with standing posture that depend on the relation between depth and angle of slit when each calendar is inserted in wood cube.
デザインの課題: At the first plan, we had aimed to carry out different effect on the card. It's a technique that scrape some parts extremely thinner by laser cut, so that light could be seen through. This was quite unique approach because it would be appear some places of light "come through" and "see
through" mixing on a same paper. But it was required superfine point laser irradiation repeatedly, it causes burnt paper and takes huge amount of time, accordingly, increasing in manufacturing cost. So we changed plan and design as use half cutting for dates number, redesigning by thin line for some parts, those were the realizable plan without load of production speed.
インスピレーション: It is inspired by light and shadow in daily life, which is existing as a matter of course in every era, in every world and in every season. Each abstract object represents a scene and a moment in changing seasons in Japan. An appearance of black Silhouette combines subtlety and boldness, it casts constantly varying shadow like a sundial. Regardless of age or nationality, those abstract figure call forth variety of personal impressions, and inspire each one to expand individual imagination freely.
プロジェクト期間: Their originative calendars has been gifted to their clients and business partner on every beginning of the year since the company established 2015. It is not only the tool for expressing gratitude, but also for calling to mind the pure delight and enjoyment of design that has their potential for creativity.
オペレーションフロー: Monthly calendar cards are inserted in a slit of wooden cube. At the place receive sun shine or light that let it make shadow, they show and entertain us slow transforming of light and shadow. It is also as a part of the interior object, people will have enjoyment of replacing each calendar card month by month.
