Draw One Calendar

Dan Wang Calendar Idea Thursday, 12 November 2026

Draw One

Draw One is a calendar shaped like a tissue box. Each sheet is printed with a single date, and users pull out one sheet each day to update the calendar. A drawn sheet cannot be used again, which reflects the one-way nature of time. An opening on the front shows the remaining sheets and the rest of the year.
