What a beautiful design. I would love to have one, but are they really 425 Euros!? Can’t imagine spending that on a calendar, even if it does last a lifetime.

Jennifer

I LOVE this! It’s so stylish and you don’t have to throw it away when next year rolls around! Very neat!

Colleen

I design kitchens and I love this! too bad it’s so expensive… maybe the corian reps will give these out to us as gifts (well, I can dream).

Luka

I have to second what Leigh said – I was thinking it would be a great gift but saw the price and was really shocked.

jane

I agree. Beautiful, with a timeless look to it. There are so many great calendar choices this year …..

Annie

Hmmm, I’m wondering if there is a third cube, because you need 10 digits for the second cube, and it can only hold six numbers.

Robin

I love how tactile it looks, sort of like playing with blocks or dominos.

But…I could never buy a calendar where I have to change the day myself. I know I’d end up forgetting and then never know what day it is anyway.

Kate

Great color palate, gives the rainbow of colors feel, but without being tacky. But, half my problem is remembering what day of the week it is, not the month. It’s Thursday, right?

Leigh

Annie, your observation got me thinking, but I believe two cubes are enough. I think if one cube has 0,1,2,7,8,9 and the other has 1,2,3,4,5,6 you can make every date from 01 to 31!

Leigh

Nope. I was wrong. What I said before wouldn’t allow for 07, 08, 09. My husband figured it out. One must have 0,1,2,7,8,9 and the other has 0,1,2,3,4,5. The 9 can be a 6 or a 9.

Great design, but not very practical. It doesn’t even have the days. I could buy years of those regular calendars with the 425 Euro and I don’t have to change the date everyday. I really wouldn’t call this a calendar, it’s just for show.

Niels

Leighs husband figured it out…
I hope to make an cheaper version of my design. And yes the calendar is as much a sculpture as an actual calendar. It is designed to light up your day and make your surrounding colorfull. Best regards the designer of Rainbow

Ruby

I really love it. Where can I buy it? By any way, I am in United State of America. Please respond to me as soon as possible!!!
