ABOUT

This Advent Calendar was designed whilst working in conjunction with Squared Rose, a sub company of FizzCo.

The brief was to create high-end christmas decorations that could provide a story-telling aspect or add extra sentimental value to the home environment at Christmas.

As opposed to traditional advent calendars, this one is designed to remain a permanent feature within the home at Christmas over a number of years, creating a sense of belonging within the family. The piece comes in different variations; one being made from a dark mahogany and utilising a dense glass for the trays (above), increasing the sense of quality and luxury within the decorative piece. Whilst a second version can be made from a lighter maple, in which the drawers are machined from the same material (left).

The idea is to place your own gifts within each drawer, may this be chocolate, sweets or money along with a mahogany decoration that is then placed upon the tree during the advent dates. This activity would be done as a family, so a mother helping a son to place the decoration for example.

Once Christmas has passed, rather than just throwing away a cardboard advent calendar as usual, the Squared Rose calendar would be kept and used in future years and generations, making it a mainstay within the christmas period and helping to create memories during the festive time.
