Replug folded a single sheet into a [self-standing desk calendar](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/self-shot-designer-calendars) with the ‘TriAngular Calendar 2027,’ giving people working at [crowded desks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grid-desk-organizer) a quick date check without picking up a phone. Three months are printed across its three sides, so a simple turn brings the neighboring month into view.

The structure relies on paper alone, joined by a paper clip rather than a separate base, and the silver stock is hand-silkscreened in Japan. It stands 4.9 inches tall with a 2.4-inch width and 2.1-inch depth, keeping it compact. Perforated months tear away, and it includes January and February 2028 for early planning.

Replug shows how a $20 price can make the calendar sell the object as much as the function, giving stationery buyers a narrow reference instead of another wide desk item, while the [folded-paper build](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tsubomi) uses the printed sheet as both surface and stand.
