Turning a monotone day into a colorful journey.

Some days feel like they begin on repeat, with the same quiet routines and nothing new in sight. Gnomon was created to bring a sense of freshness and color to those ordinary moments. Place it on your desk, turn the calendar, and begin your day with color. A different kind of day is waiting for you.

Starting the day with you.

Gnomon is the name of the vertical stick on ancient Greek sundials that cast a shadow. As the sun rose, people would watch its shadow to mark the start of a new day.

That quiet ritual inspired us. Just as the gnomon greeted each morning with a gentle signal, we imagined our calendar doing the same—inviting you to turn the page and begin your day with intention.

We named it Gnomon because we believe even the simplest moments, like starting your day, deserve a little wonder. And maybe, a small break from the ordinary.

Born a century ago, yet remains essential to our everyday lives.

The Perpetual Flip Calendar, a product that first appeared about 100 years ago, is a mechanical device with a unique mechanism that displays the date by flipping 180 degrees. This analog device combines practicality with decorative appeal, making it popular in its time. In today's digital era, we believe the monotony of daily life stems from the lack of tangible, sensory analog experiences. To brighten your days, we have reimagined this century-old concept. Simply placing this colorful and stylish product on your desk will transform a dull work environment into a vibrant and lively space.

Precision meets beauty.

The calendar cards of Gnomon are precision-crafted from aluminum plates to ensure smooth sliding. Each card undergoes anodizing treatment, making them not only durable for long-term use but also imbued with a distinctive, beautiful color. The acrylic body of Gnomon is sanded to reveal a subtle elegance and hand-dyed to showcase its unique, captivating hues. Every element that makes up Gnomon is meticulously crafted with the highest quality, all precisely engineered and assembled in Seoul, Korea.

An acclaimed creation recognized far and wide.

Gnomon has received support and recognition from institutions such as the Seoul Metropolitan Government and the Korea Institute of Design Promotion. It won the Premium Product Award at the Seoul Tourism Souvenir Contest and was officially released as a Seoul tourism souvenir, showcasing its exceptional quality. Gnomon has also collaborated with major companies like Kakao Enterprise and Orion. It has also been featured in various magazines and interviews, and was once curated in the Industrial Design category on Adobe Behance.
