An electronic calendar. One for unit for home and one for office, the units synchronise, once docked onto their stand, over a standard phone-line connection ensuring they are always fully up to date. For example, amendments made to the organiser information at home by the wife, appear on the husbands unit at work.

Note: The concept for Kalanda was conceived back in 2005 at a time where over the air connectivity was still in its infancy and the term cloud computing hadn’t been invented yet. Although the functionality looks limited by today’s standards, I like to think at the time it was forward thinking, indeed the O2 mobile operator released a similar device in 2009 called the ‘O2 Joggler’.

Kalanda was modelled in Alias Studiotools and put in situ using Adobe Photoshop.
