Designers today have total freedom to design whatever they want, but then they have the added stress of trying to come up with something “new”, because how many more necessities can there be!  I have chosen some of the new quirky designs that are on the market these days.

This Apple Calendar was designed for health insurance provider AOK, “an apple a day” by Munich-based ad agency Service plan is an innovative calendar that not only helps you keep track of time, but also keeps you healthy by eating an apple a day!  The calendar is a long tube made out of UVA- and UVB-resistant Plexiglas, which is then filled with apples according to the number of days in the month, e.g. it requires 31 apples for the month of January, 28 for February and 30 for April.  Each day you need to eat an apple to keep the calendar on the correct date.  You then refill the tube when the month is over.  I think this is pretty cool, but there is no way apples in China will last a month before eating them!
