piggy bank
2010.10
for Isetan
A piggy bank designed for the Isetan department store’s ‘Piggy Bank Collection’ exhibition, an official event for Design Tide Tokyo 2010. Unravelling the history of the piggy bank, we learn that the name dates back to medieval Europe, when unused coins were saved in household jars made of unglazed reddish clay, or ‘pygg’. A play on words from ‘pygg’ to ‘pig’ led to the piggy bank, and the familiar porcine objects we know today. The pyggy-bank takes this history as its design concept. Offering savers a pig-snouted bottle and jar made of unglazed fired clay in which to place their hard-earned coins, it exists somewhere between ‘pygg’ and the ‘pig’.
为伊势丹百货公司的“Piggy Bank Collection”展览设计的储钱罐，这是2010年东京设计潮的官方活动。揭开储钱罐的历史，我们了解到这个名字可以追溯到中世纪的欧洲，当时未使用的硬币被保存在 由无釉红色粘土制成的家用罐子，或'pygg'。从'pygg'到'pig'的文字游戏导致了存钱罐，以及我们今天所熟知的熟悉的猪类物品。pyggy-bank将这段历史作为其设计理念。为储存者提供了一个猪圈式瓶子和罐子，用无釉烧制的粘土制成，用来放置他们来之不易的硬币，它存在于'pygg'和'pig'之间。
