Luigi Colani
the German industrial designer created this little elephant "piggy"-bank for Dresdner Bank in the 60s or the 70s. Anyone have the date?

Exhibition: Stig Lindberg
"Stig Lindberg's (1916-1982) designs for household items – notably ceramics – are familiar to almost all Swedes, as are his illustrations to popular children’s books. The exhibition gives a picture of Stig Lindberg's work as an industrial designer during the latter half of the 20th century."

A nice photo display of some of his works.
Design: Nisse Strinning has passed away
I just heard on the radio that Swedish designer Nils Erik "Nisse" Strinning has died at the age of 88. He was, among other things, the man behind the best-selling String bookshelf.
"Certain things are so closely associated with a particular time that they become timeless. There is no better example of this than the String shelf system designed by Nisse Strinning in 1949." (from the String site)
String ad from 1958.
