‘Tis the season for calendar kiosks in the mall, and whenever I pass by these booths, I’m struck by how kitschy the options are. I can get girls on the hoods of classic cars, kittens, or The Far Side. And as much as I love The Far Side, I’d never consider mounting it on my home office wall. Appointments are for journals, planners and BlackBerrys — not for guests to ogle whenever they stop by. So, what are my real options for marking the rapidly approaching days of 2009? How about the sleek Folle Wall Calendar, originally designed in 1982, and now available through Design Within Reach. The little red arrow slides across the linear steel bar to indicate the day of the month in an arresting design that’s ultra-mod, with a sprinkling of the set design of The Price is Right. Come on down to my home office!
