The Ring-a-Date Calendar by Giorgio Della Beffa is a classic example of mid-century modern design, created in the 1970s during Italy's Space Age design boom. Produced by Euroway, the calendar features a distinctive mechanism where users manually adjust three colored rings to set the current date. This tactile interaction offers a unique, visually engaging way to track the days. Originally celebrated for its minimalist and futuristic aesthetic, it even earned a place at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York.

Giorgio Della Beffa is a designer known for creating the "Ring-A-Date" perpetual calendar, a classic piece of Italian design from the 1970s. This calendar, produced by Euroway in Turin, exemplifies the innovative use of ABS plastic during the era when Italian plastic design was booming. It has become an iconic piece due to its functional elegance and minimalist aesthetic. The design was reissued recently by Della Beffa's grandchildren, who have brought it back in various colors, including white, yellow, and green.
