Syn Universal Calendar

Syn

Syn is an innovative calendar/ monthly planner featuring a unique layout for various and universal time intervals. It is designed as a mechanical, three dimensional planner that assists people in organizing tasks and events without using a digital application. Inspired by the philosophy of Lo Tek Design, it optimizes the use of a physical calendar, providing more detailed information. The structure design adapted the pattern of time, making it universal to any month and day. It can assist in tracking and recording events over a comfortable length of time.

Syn Universal Calendar by Johnny Jiasheng Chen was recognized as an outstanding illustration of industrial design by the A' Design Award & Competition. Syn Universal Calendar was awarded the Silver A' Design Award in Homeware Design in 2025. The A' Decorative Items and Homeware Design Award is an international, jury-voted, fair and ethical design recognition program that rewards exceptional design of tableware, lighting fixtures, cookware, decorative accessories, bathroom accessories, furniture, textiles, kitchen gadgets and more.
