Cagnotte by Stephan Wespi for Postfossil
Materials: Stoneware Ceramic, Pear Wood Size: 130x150 mm (dxl)
Cagnotte is a money box whose shape is modelled on that of an acorn. Coins are inserted through the slit on the underside. The wooden shell closes the opening and gives the acorn a stable stand. Saving doesn't mean sacrifice; it's a challenge to ration available resources in a sensible way. To get to the savings, the acorn must be smashed, but only the saver can decide when the time is right.
