<p>It’s about this time every year, as you stumble back into the office post-holiday, where you begin to realize some very important things. Like that you need a new calendar. Luckily for the style-savvy, designers like Imbroglio have new takes on the standard cross-the-day, flip-the-month variety that your bank may have sent you… with pictures of puppies or infants eerily dressed up like vegetables.</p>

Created by Jean-Pierre Vitrac and re-produced by London design shop <a href="http://www.twentytwentyone.com"><font color="#339966">twentytwentyone</font></a>, the pleasingly modernist jumble turns into a perfectly acceptable calendar. As you slide the accompanying magnet along it focuses the eye and cleverly reveals the date from the previously muddled negative space.</p>
<p>Even better, it can be reused so that you won’t encounter the same design dilemma a year from now.</p>
