# Cement Banks 'Bunker' by Dino Salvatico By Marissa Brassfield | Published 2008-11-25 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cement-bank-bunker-dino-salvatico References: [designspotter](http://www.designspotter.com/product/2008/11/Bunker.html) & [dinosalvatico](http://www.dinosalvatico.com/bunker.html) Dino Salvatico wants to be sure your efforts to save money are successful; to recover your cash, his 'Bunker' bank made of [cement and glass fiber](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ancora) must be shattered with a hammer. I'm all for piggy banks that don't make it easy to recover your money. After all, a piggy bank that lets you easily access your savings is more of a temporary holding location than an [actual vault](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/physical-vault). Dino Salvatico specializes in [industrial object design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/intra-side-table); this 'Bunker' bank certainly fits that bill. It's not in production, although it should be. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.2/10 - Popularity: 5% | Activity: 24% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Home](https://www.trendhunter.com/home) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Industrial Object Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore new ways to incorporate industrial design into everyday objects. - **Durable Piggy Banks:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop piggy banks that require unconventional methods to access savings, promoting long-term saving habits. - **Functional Decorative Items:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create decorative items that serve a functional purpose, combining aesthetics with practicality. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Product Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Apply innovative thinking to product design, creating unique and functional objects. - **Financial Services:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Improve the banking experience by offering innovative savings solutions that encourage better financial habits. - **Home Decor:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Merge design and functionality in home decor products to enhance the overall living experience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Digital Currency Piggy Banks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-piggy-bank-concept.md) - [Paper-Made Piggy Banks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/metallic-piggy-bank.md) - [Wishing Well-Inspired Coin Banks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coin-bank-concept.md) - [Anti-Fraud Bank Accounts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/high-security-savings-account.md) - [Playful Storage Blocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/berto-hidden-secrets.md) - [Auto-Savings Digital Bank Features](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superbank.md) - [Sturdy Home Decor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modern-cement-decor.md) - [Expertly Designed Vaults](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/round-vault-door.md) - [Sustainable Wooden Natural Materials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/forestbank.md)
