In designing the Savings Ball, the concept of balance was a central focus — a goal many of us seek, whether in design, our surroundings, or life in general. The aim was to create an object that captures that equilibrium, both literally and figuratively.
The Savings Ball reimagines the classic money box in a whimsical way, adding an interactive feature that transforms it into a play toy when in use, or a decorative object otherwise. The object's balance shifts depending on the amount of coins it holds. As it fills, it tips out of balance—a state easily restored by simply squeezing the upper part and shaking out the coins.
