For you non-perpetual calendar types (sorry Katie) Vignelli offers this visual beauty for a wall near you. As the numbers are close together, there’s scarcely enough room to write, so I suggest getting a red wax pencil for you to inscribe cryptic circles and x’s on certain days. I leave the decision of which days to choose to you.
Ed. note: I honestly do love perpetual calendars though. Much more environmentally and economically responsible. Don’t buy this calendar. Find a nice little perpetual one.

This is hands down my favorite perpetual calendar. I’ve got a page featuring this calendar torn out from a 1998 Elle Decor (the UK edition) somewhere and I’ve been intending on finding a local source when I just stumbled upon it today. Thank you, Dumb Luck.
If you can’t tell from the photo, the black circle is a magnet which reveals the date when it’s placed in the right spot.

This reminds me of school and yardsticks, but in a very good way. Designed by Enzo Mari in 1959 for Danese Milano, Italy. Arrives in a lovely Danese gift box. Available in English or Italian. (also, it’s not nearly as redish as it looks in these pictures)
Material: Walnut central section, strips of ramin, beech, maple.
Dimensions: 18.9″ l.

I might be a little obsessed with calendars. But this one is really the calendar of all calendars. Designed in 1967 for Danese Milano, Italy, by Enzo Mari it alledgedly has become “one of the classic icons of 20th Century Design”. And the way I figure it, if you bought this, you wouldn’t have to stand in front of the wall of calendars at the end of December trying to decide between the lesser of two evils. AND, you’d actually end up saving money if you kept it for more than, uh, 20 years (assuming the cheesy picture calendars cost about $12)…
Available in red lettering on black or black lettering on aluminum.
Material: Anodized aluminum, lithographed PVC, English text.
Dimensions: 12.40″ H x 12.40″ W.
