Parents who want to ensure their children always have a spot to store their toys will find the 'Hausschwein' toy storage unit to be a fun and convenient piece of equipment. The 'Hausschwein' does triple-duty as being a toy that can be ridden, a storage unit for toys and a sculptural accent piece that can be placed virtually anywhere in the home.
Being that the average home is shrinking in size, designers are creating a multitude of different products that are intended to be fully functional as well as look stylish when in a space. The 'Hausschwein' toy storage unit is a great example of this with a cute pig-inspired aesthetic that makes it a charming piece of home decor.
The 'Hausschwein' is the design work of Marcel Wanders.
