Penny
Penny is a piggy bank designed to store coins. The shape of Penny resembles a broken piggy bank, an image often used to represent a financial crisis. Penny is made of twelve injection molded PVC parts that are held together by neodymium magnets. The parts can be taken apart by hand, or the bank can be thrown onto the floor, and then reassembled in 95040 different ways while keeping the same essence and function. The matte textured surface hides marks and scratches. Penny is intended as a symbol of resilience and of rebuilding after a hard fall.
