Small yet mighty

Circus rethinks what a desktop calendar could look like, reading like a clock and spinning like a record to progress through time. It's compact to fit on any desk while staying practical, with just enough space for your daily notes. It comes with 12 interchangeable monthly cards, each in a different complementary colour pair.

Monthly cards sit on a bespoke laser-cut stand that provides a sturdy base for your writing. Every part of the calendar is recycled (and recyclable), and its format maximises the use of the material with minimal waste. Circus comes flat-packed in a stylish packaging, so it makes a great gift too.

This product is available to customers in the UK only, but we're working hard to find reliable, affordable international shipping options.

Its compact size means we can ship it to most UK addresses for a flat fee of £2.

Hand crafted refinement

Circus went through many iterations to get the form and materials just right. It's truly minimal, with every detail thought through to reduce waste and maximise comfort.

Made from sturdy black-dyed recycled paperboard, you'll be able to keep using the stand for years to come. Calendar refills for 2027 will be available later next year.

This practical desktop planner is hand-finished in small batches in Mat Cuk's studio, in collaboration with local printers and laser-cutting specialists.
