Feb14,2019

A calendar designed and produced by DNP Communication Design Co., Ltd., a Group company of Dai Nippon Printing Co. Ltd. (DNP), has been awarded a Gold Medal at the Gregor Calendar Award 2019.

[About the German International Calendar Exhibition and the award-winning works]

The original calendar is entitled Form is Emptiness, Emptiness is Form, a deeply spiritual theme adopted from Buddhist teachings that highlights the transient nature of the physical world. It was created for Aquarius Co., Ltd. and features living air plants, or Tillandsia, directly planted into the underlying Washi-style Japanese paper. Owners can enjoy observing the plants growing on a daily basis, and may even be lucky enough to see them flower under certain conditions!

[Comment by the Judges]

The AQUARIUS calendar thrills us through its sensitive dealing with paper, design, printing and finishing.  The "turning wheel of time" idea convincingly shows the transience of our existence.  An extraordinary calendar project which convinced the jury.  Congratulations on winning gold !

[Calendar Design and Production Efforts by DNP]

Companies produce a diverse selection of communication tools. In particular, the company calendars that are traditionally distributed to customers at the end of the year, are viewed in business and daily life contexts over the coming year. As a result, they serve to deliver the corporate messages, and are used with effect to support branding, along with social and cultural activities.  
DNP combines the strengths of P&I (printing and information) to maximize the value of the calendar as a communication tool, by pursuing the possibilities from all angles, and promotes the planning, design and production of calendars that deliver high-level value to users.
