Multi-Purpose PIggy Banks

The Storage Box Series Conceals Loose Coins and Collects Assorted Items

— September 4, 2018 — Art & Design
Perhaps given the rise of online shopping and credit card usage, it has probably been years since many people have seen a piggy bank in a retail outlet. This observation, however, would not negate the usefulness of this Storage Box Series for plenty of folks in the modern metropolises of the day. Plenty of urbanites use transit and laundromats and are regulars at mom-and-pop shops across cities. The continued presence of loose coinage has resulted in recycled mason jars full of money and many less organized means of storing nickels and dimes.

What Peishan Mai has delightfully designed are piggybanks that function as coin trays and dishes to hold all sorts of pocketable items, from pens and keys to headphones and watches. They're simultaneously modern and nostalgic between their form, function and color scheme.
Trend Themes
1. Online Shopping - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create an online piggy bank platform that allows users to digitally store and manage their loose change.
2. Cashless Payments - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop a digital piggy bank app that automatically rounds up purchases and saves the spare change into a virtual coin tray.
3. Minimalism - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Design a sleek and compact piggy bank that appeals to minimalist consumers who value simplicity and decluttering.
Industry Implications

2. Home Organization - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create smart piggy bank systems that automatically sort and organize different types of coins, making it easier for individuals to manage their loose change at home.
3. Product Design - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Collaborate with designers to create piggy banks that combine aesthetics, functionality, and versatility, appealing to consumers who seek design-oriented storage solutions.
