Well, Johann Volkmer certainly is, as skillfully demonstrated with his pop-up calendar, Faltjahr 2010. Aged 27, the German-born graphic designer breathes some much needed life into the run-of-the-mill 2-dimensional calendar, re-interpreting the playful pop-up book for a new use. Almost as fun as the [Christmas Countdown Calendars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luxurious-holiday-advent-calendars) (I say "almost" only because there is chocolate involved in the countdown ones!), Johann Volkmer's pop-up calendar entertains you each month with a [different sculpture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fragmenti). Cutting paper has never been so much fun and informing. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.2/10 - Popularity: 60% | Activity: 88% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Pop-up Design:** Explore the growing trend of incorporating pop-up elements into design, offering new and interactive experiences for consumers. - **Playful Calendars:** Discover the trend of creating calendars that go beyond traditional formats, infusing creativity and entertainment into everyday routines. - **Interactive Paper Crafts:** Discover the rising trend of interactive paper crafts, offering a hands-on and engaging experience for consumers. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Graphic Design:** Graphic designers can embrace pop-up design to create visually appealing and interactive experiences for clients, setting their work apart from traditional approaches. - **Stationery and Paper Goods:** Stationery and paper goods companies can tap into the demand for playful calendars, offering unique products that add joy and excitement to daily planning. - **Education and Entertainment:** Educational and entertainment companies can explore interactive paper crafts to engage audiences, providing a fun and immersive experience that combines learning with enjoyment. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Flatpack Advent Calendars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vinterfint-advent-calendar.md) - [Intertwined Marble-Made Calendars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/noova-calendar.md) - [Coastal Desk Calendars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lighthouse-calendar.md) - [Interactive Building Block Calendars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-2023-daily-builds-calendar.md) - [Brainteaser Advent Calendars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/project-genius-advent-calendar.md) - [Playful Minifigurine Daily Calendars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minifigureaday-daily-calendar.md) - [Colorful Poster-Sized Wall Planers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/big-wall-calendar.md) - [Climate-Awareness Wool Calendars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/irreversible-scale.md) - [Floating Marble Cosmic Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mobius-calendar-clock.md)
