Bank in the Form of a Pig

Materials: Marble, resin

Size: 18 x 10 x 5.25 in

The Reality series by Harry Allen is inspired by the beauty of everyday objects. By casting natural forms, Allen thoughtfully reimagines objects and gives them new uses. Each object is chosen with care and often a comic sensibility. Here, a pig that died of natural causes becomes a bank. The bank holds up to $10,000 in dollar bills.

Born in New Jersey in 1964, Harry Allen received a Master’s Degree in Industrial Design from Pratt Institute. In 1993, he established Harry Allen Design, and since then, he has designed furniture, lighting, products and interiors for a wide variety of international clients.
