The 22-23 Planner Collection is officially here, and with it two fresh new formats—the Wire Daily Planner and Studio Wall Calendar. Today we’re giving you a guided tour of our first-ever wire-bound daily format, plus a behind the scenes look at what it takes to bring a new product to life.
Inspiration, Design, & Production
Daily, weekly, monthly—whatever your preference we have a planner to fit your needs. Our hardcover casebound Daily Planners have become fan-favorites over the years for their intuitive format (hourly schedule plus to-do list) and elegant craftsmanship. In preparation for the 22-23 collection, we decided it was time to dive into the question customers have been asking for a while: would we ever make a wire-bound version of the Daily Planner?
Enter the product development and creative team. Our end goal is always to create a product that balances utility and function with simplicity and beauty. With this in mind we tested many different wire-o sizes to ensure the planner would function properly despite its length (a page for each day makes this planner our longest at 358 pages!). After many prototypes, we landed on the finished product—a wider-set wire-o than you’ll see on our other planners that still retains its durability and elegance.
"This larger-sized wire is supplied in a different pitch ratio and punch size than our standard binding which required new equipment and adjusted process to produce. Once we worked through the binding kinks, we had to determine the most ideal cover-to-interior size ratio—a challenge we consider in every planner design."
