Detailed Description

Pig Bank is part of the 'reality' series by award-winning interior and industrial designer, Harry Allen. Allen, whose work is part of the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art, New York, has long believed that original form should no longer be the driving force in design and emphasizes the inherent beauty of things - beauty of concept, materials and structure. Pig Bank is the realistic approach to a classic piggy bank, produced by casting polyester resins in highly-detailed silicone molds from a real pig. The pig, we are told, lost its life from natural causes and Allen will donate $10 from each sale to the Humane Society to prevent cruelty to animals everywhere. These banks are not toys; they are fragile and should be handled with care.

Available in white, pink, gold (220€), chrome (220€).
