The ‘Smart Piggy’ bank concept is an upgraded take on the humble money saving solution that will bring a physical experience to digital currencies. The device features a recognizable form that will call to mind childhood piggy banks, but hides a connected functionality that will interpret coins placed inside to let users monitor their savings from the accompanying smartphone app. This will add an additional layer to the savings experience and could be more in tune with the needs of today’s consumer who is more digitally inclined.
The ‘Smart Piggy’ bank concept is the design work of Guilherme Ferreira, Pietro Vitelo and Gustavo Billo of Breathe Design & Strategy. The device could provide a nostalgic experience for adult consumers, while also keeping savings at the forefront.
