the piggy on the left window sill you see is by award winning interior designer,
harry allen. "bank in the form of a pig" is part of the
reality series, which consists of objects whose forms are sampled from existing sources (meaning the pig mould was from a real pig that unfortunately died from malnutrition, allen will donate $10 from each sale to the
humane society to prevent cruelty to animals everywhere, so please go and support by purchasing one!) harry allen's work is part of the permanent collection of the
museum of modern art in new york. His process emphasises the inherent beauty of things - beauty from concept, beauty from materials, beauty from structure.
