2026
The Alps
The course of the year in the Alpine region: winter road closures and hibernation, snowmelt and the first blossoms, alpine summer with festivals and sporting events, harvest and the driving of cattle back down in autumn.
A whole year on one poster. Since 2018, the same principle every year – and a new theme at the center each time. From the constellations to the moon to the Alps.
With our calendars, we want to depict the entire year on a single poster. For us, the circle is the ideal shape for this: a year can be represented here as a self-contained, closed section.
The circle is also a fitting symbol for the recurring cycles we experience every year. A year corresponds to the time the Earth needs for one orbit around the sun. After one year, the Earth is once again in the same position relative to the sun. The sequence of seasons, holidays, and celebrations likewise repeats every year – like a cycle.
The calendar is built from a series of rings around the inner circle. From the outside in, they show:
A large field for each day offers room for personal entries: birthdays and other celebrations, appointments, the ski trip, the next cycling trip, or hiking tour. Three additional rings are there for graphic markings – sporting activities, trips to the cinema or theater, a personal period of fasting.
By the end of the year, this gives you a quick, infographic-style overview of your very own personal year. A calendar that becomes a retrospective.
Nine editions, one principle. Each year is devoted to its own theme – here is the complete chronicle. Click an image to enlarge it.

From the highest volcano on Earth to the largest in the solar system, all the way to the Volcanic 7 Summits: sacred volcanoes, the most dangerous fire mountains, and volcanoes on other celestial bodies.

A symbol of endless motion and infinite possibility. The wheel embodies the steady flow, and the circular calendar gives change its shape. With its own field for February 29th.

The twelve constellations of the zodiac as star patterns – with the difference between astrological and astronomical periods, and the distance of each constellation's brightest star in light-years.
2021
The geocentric night sky on one poster: constellations, planetary movements, the moon's orbit, and eclipses. Created in collaboration with Cosmic Watch.
2020
Why leap years exist – and how long a day and a year last on all eight planets of the solar system, from Mercury to Neptune, including rotation period and number of moons.
2019
The average hours of sunshine each month at ten locations from Svalbard to Antarctica – along with solstices, the change of seasons, and daylight saving and standard time marked in color.
2018
The first circular calendar: notable events and anniversaries from sports, culture, politics, and pop culture, all European national holidays – and the most important sporting events in the innermost ring.
All circular calendars are offset-printed on matte paper in a 60 × 60 cm format – large enough for an entire year on the wall, and beautiful enough to stay hanging afterward.
