B.B. Billosaur Bank

Published by

This half bank/half dinosaur from le mouton noir & co. isn’t interested in your pennies — in fact none of your change will fit into the B.B. Billosaur as it’s designed specifically for saving bills. For this redesign of the classic piggy bank, the traditional slot for coinage has been replaced with seven small holes to insert rolled-up bills. Don’t have enough cash to stash away at the moment? The bank comes with little cork plugs that give the bank a stegosaurus-like appearance. The 5”1/2 wide x 5 3/8” deep x 6 7/8” high bank is handmade in porcelain in matte black, gloss white, silver metallic, and matte pink.

Origami Hunter Wall Lights

Published by

Hunting trophies may signify power and grandeur to some, but they are downright cruel to others. There is no denying however, that they become the focal point of a room. An animal-friendly alternative is the Origami Hunter lighting range by Chilean designer Veronica Posada. The fixtures are made of industrial-grade, heat-resistant paper that has been folded into the shape of a stag, rhino, or ram head. While tested for safety, the lights have not been UL-listed as of yet. The pieces range from 13.8 inches tall by 11.8 inches wide (rhino) to 28.3 inches tall by 15.7 inches wide (stag and ram). They are available exclusively through Pretty Dandy, an online interiors boutique based in Nottingham, England. £179 (single light), £495 (set of three).
