RIXOS · DESK CALENDAR
Twelve months, curved in brass
For 2018, Rixos asked us for a desk calendar. We answered with an object: a single sheet of brass bent into a continuous wave, standing in a solid oak base, with the months engraved across its faces. The curve does the work of a page turn: each month sits on its own plane, so the year reveals itself as you move around it. Housed in a bespoke box finished with a foilprinted pattern, the whole set carries Rixos elegance from the lid down to the grain.
THE ANGLE MOVES THE MONTH
Move your head, turn the page.
There is no mechanism at all, only geometry. From any single position half the year is hidden in the curve, so the object asks for a small movement in return, which is precisely what makes it live on a desk instead of sitting on one. Brass warms with handling, oak deepens with time, and the calendar quietly outlives the year printed on it. Luxury, for once, defined by restraint rather than ornament.
