2026 Calendars We’re Loving

As the year wraps up, many of us start thinking: maybe 2025 could use a tidy sign-off, but 2026? 2026 is waiting to be filled. Whether you’re planning projects, jotting down birthdays, or simply craving a monthly dose of design inspiration, the right calendar can set the tone.

Here are some of the coolest 2026 calendars we’ve found, each one a little different in style, function, and energy. These are the ones catching our eye at People of Print.

Peacock – A workshop for Art

The Peacock 2026 Calendar was Risograph-printed using 7 colours (Aqua, Black, Blue, Bright Red, Fluorescent Orange, Fluorescent Pink & Teal), using letterpress text printed with a Hunter Penrose proofing press from wood type recovered from the old Castlegate printing works of James Daniel and Cornwall and Sons. The cover is letterpress printed, whilst the rest of the calendar is all Risograph printed.

The Peacock 2026 Calendar was produced at Peacock: a workshop for art by
Neil Corall (concept, design, letterpress, Risograph and production) & Seumas MacDonald (design input, letterpress, production and Scottish Gaelic translation). Additional design input by Nuno Sacramento & Eva Crawford-McKee.

Spiegelsaal

Wall calendar 2026, 148×163 mm, 14 pages, various 300 gsm papers, spiral binding, limited edition,
signed and hand numbered

Test prints are by-products of the screen printing process.
To check registration accuracy and ink opacity, a few extra sheets are printed at the beginning of a print run. Since these sheets are often reused over months or years, they gather image elements from various print runs over time. This creates a unique, completely unplanned design.
For this calendar, we used a few of our most beautiful test prints. We printed the calendar pages for the entire year on each test print, cut them to size, and mixed them.
As a result, no two calendars are alike; every page and every calendar is absolutely unique.
