what a practical piggie...

Pigs.

Our Frances loves them.

Loves loves loves them. So when she sees this post, pity her poor husband who she is going to nag to the point of madness until she has one of these in her house. This practical little piggie wooden sideboard is part of the Sending Animals collection   by Marcantonio Raimondi Malerba which has been produced by Seletti, Italy and features a cow, a pig and a goose...

In the shape of cow, pig and hen, the structures resemble forwarding crates, decorated with the transport’s stickers and stamps, with a deliberately worn effect. The cow features numerous spacious compartments and is equipped with support flap. The pig has a height that allows you to take the upper floor as a horizontal surface, while the goose can also become a seat...

“Animals and their shapes have always had a strong attraction for me. I think it must be like that for everyone. It is an ancestral, ancient call, to our inner instinct as well as for its simple reference to nature. In my work I always try to investigate the relationship man sets up with nature, until I find syntheses that express our attitude or hint at paradoxical dynamics. I prefer the concepts that make us think with irony, with a good tragicomic dose. As in the case of "Sending Animals". Could anyone have shipped animals???”

Who wouldn't want one of these creatures in their home, the goose would be especially welcome in mine...
