The New Flavours 2014 Calendar would brighten up any one's day. It is a date keeper comprised of vibrant colorful images of fruit. Yet these are not one's typical produce. Instead, they have been creatively folded out of paper. Yet they take the art of origami to the next level since they are so full of detail, which happens to include patterns and all.
Designed by Victoria Bee, Cris Wiegandt and Margherita Gaffarelli of London-based Nearly Normal Craft, the New Flavours 2014 Calendar can be considered more art than stationery. The dates have been pushed to the side and rendered very subtly so that the images of the 'fruit' are given precedence. But no one would have it any other way.
