Bubble Calendars by Evan Orensten
Our friend Stephen Turbek, an experience designer, stopped by CH HQ to show us his new project, the Bubble Calendar.
Based on the universal premise that everyone likes to pop bubbles, memories of Advent calendars, interesting ways of marking time's progression and needing to know what day it is, Stephen came up with the Bubble Calendar. After much development and working through production issues (lining up all of those bubbles is not as easy as it looks) the calendars are finally available; they come in both horizontal and vertical versions, and are backed on clear acetate or on white paper. All major holidays are noted.
Bubble calendars are available online, starting at $30.

Tielen Perpetual Calendar
We love the Tielen Perpetual Calendar for its simple design and, well, perpetual usefulness.

2005 Protein Calendar
It's actually not too soon to be thinking about your 2005 calendar. Protein, the collective responsible for super creative media distribution, has released 500 wall calendars based on Lunar Chromo.

Cowboy Junkie: Saddle Stool
Feel like saddling up? Brazilian furniture designer Fernando Akasaka just dropped word about his new Cowboy Junkie concept stool, an unusual merging of two seating options. Anyone sitting on the stool will inevitably feel like they've just rode in by horse and are saddling up right up next to the kitchen bar. It's great for a thirst-quenching drink before riding off into the sunset,...
