To celebrate the year of the horse on the Chinese Zodiac calendar, MM Identity Lab came up with this vintage-looking calendar that also doubles as a poker set.
The design looks like something out of an old western movie, with earthy colors being the main palette with a wooden outer casing. The symbolism of the poker and calendar set together is to encourage users to "set the year up right," according to Lovely Package. Whatever deck of cards one is given throughout the year, it's important to play these right and make smart decisions instead of just going all in (unless that is the clever choice after all)! This design by MM Identity Lab would be the perfect addition to a coffee table.
