Jonas R. Stokke and Øystein Austad, who work in Oslo, Norway, under the name StokkeAustad, created this Dayboard calendar in order to give people more freedom to arrange the year as they see fit. Each individual date is affixed to the steel base with magnets, allowing users to move the days around.

"99 percent of the miniatures featured in the book were made painstakingly with hand tools: Xacto knives, sandpaper, felt, a needle and thread, strips of basswood, and mahogany—things you can find at a great art supply store," Chun says. "I only recently got a Dremel rotary tool to help with sanding the curves of a Saarinen dining table. But overall, the simple, clean lines—often pure geometry—found in mid-century and Danish modern sensibilities helps with creating pieces at this scale."

Pete Peanut and the Trouble with Birthdays is a book that's seeking funding via Kickstarter. What caught our eye were the meticulously crafted sets in the video, which features midcentury design in miniature. The authors Mimi O. Chun and Sean Hewens were inspired by a trip to Palm Springs Modernism Week. "All of the homes were perfectly preserved, the way you might imagine them in the 60s," Chun says. "Despite all of the visitors in town for the event, there was a stillness to Palm Springs that seemed like the perfect backdrop for Pete Peanut, who is the quiet type of peanut—a contemplative sort who understands that not all change is good, regardless of whether or not it involves birthday cake."

"Just as the narrative can be read on multiple levels, we wanted the visual appeal to span readers of all ages," Chun says. "At face-value, this is a story that will appeal with children; on an allegorical level, the human-sized themes—e.g. our preoccupation with aging, the unending celebration of self, introverts being easily misunderstood, and the rise of the underdog—will resonate with adults. Visually, there are brightly colored photographs for kids, but we hope the miniature replicas of design icons will charm all ages."

"Pete has no idea that he lives amongst iconic pieces of design or seminal artworks and they don't figure into the narrative at all," Chun says. "In fact, within the story itself, it's somewhat ambiguous what era Pete actually lives in, which made a midcentury environment an ideal backdrop as these pieces that were designed half a century ago—or more—continue to be revered as examples of good design today."

Imbroglio Desk Calendar, designed by Jean-Pierre Vitrac and manufactured by twentytwentyone “Vitrac isn’t a name designer, but the Frenchman did everything. This is a piece that we actually make ourselves. When you drag the magnet around the screenprinted front, you can highlight the dates. It continues to intrigue and amuse, whilst being a functional calendar.”
