The Pocket Edition of the Elsewhere Almanac compresses a full year of entrances into a scale that can be carried with you.
It is not a backup calendar, but a moving landscape of time that travels alongside your daily life.

When months leave the wall and the desktop, slipping into the back of a phone, a wallet, or a notebook.... time no longer exists only in fixed locations. Instead, it is repeatedly encountered in motion, woven into everyday movement. This is a way of placing “elsewhere” into your pocket, allowing each month to remain open as it moves with you.

In this almanac created by Commonplace, the twelve months are individually dismantled and reassembled as twelve imagined gateways. Through varied colour palettes, layouts, and cut-out forms, each month corresponds to the conceptual theme of its featured celebration.

Through the Elsewhere Almanac, time can be carefully observed, reorganized, and carried, slowly taking shape within space. Twelve heterotopias, multiple scenarios: not only do they lead you to new places, they also transform your living space as time unfolds.
