在一些國外時尚雜誌中,偶而可以看見這款大象造型的存錢筒出現在居家場景中。不論是北歐或是現代日式風格的裝潢,有如雕塑般的大象存錢筒總能毫不突兀的融入加中或是辦公室,甚至讓某個不起眼的小空間變得亮眼。
這款來自北歐的大象存錢筒,是瑞典聯合銀行送給開戶者的禮物,這個行銷活動從1973年開始,而大象存錢筒則委託芬蘭公司生產。聯合銀行還成立了一個大象俱樂部,推出大象相關周邊,包括卡片、錄有兒歌的錄音帶等等。順帶一提,這個大象可是有名字的喔,牠叫做Myntriks,意思是有很多硬幣。
本頁商品為大尺寸的存錢筒(薄荷綠),尺寸為24 x 29.5 x 19,下圖為大象存錢筒小尺寸(橘色)。
People might see this elephant money box appeared in the corner of living room or somewhere else in foreign fashion magazine. It is undoubtedly an eye-catching item to make your little space attracting.
This money box is from north Europe. It is a gift that Nordea Bank give to their account holders. This promotion started from 1973, yet the money box is produced in Finland. The Nordea Bank even set up an Elephant Club to produce more products related to elephant. Oh yes, this elephant’s name is Myntriks, which means lots of coins.
生產這款大象存錢筒的公司幾經易主與改名,目前仍持續生產存錢筒,不僅顏色的選擇變多了,也開發出其他動物,例如北極熊等等。大象存錢筒的另一個特色是,它是採用上鎖的方式來開啟,因此每個存錢筒都附有一個可以打開底蓋的鑰匙。據說這把鑰匙以前是不隨著大象一起送出的,而是由銀行保管。因此必須將存錢筒拿到銀行打開之後存入帳戶,這一招也可避免存錢筒裡的硬幣不增反減。採用歐洲食品及藥物管理局核準的塑膠製作,無異味、不含雙酚A。
它除了是存錢筒以外,也是一件非常具有北歐感的擺飾,可以放在桌上或是或是櫥櫃中,透過不同大象的顏色組合或是大小對比,想必能讓空間更具有北歐設計風味。芬蘭製造。
