Originally conceived as a promotional gift for the Dresdner Bank, these little elephants have long since become coveted cult objects, perfectly embodying Colani's famous "bio-design" philosophy. The set consists of one yellow elephant and one red elephant. The design is typical of Colani: organic, curvaceous, and without sharp edges. Their abstract, rounded silhouettes give the elephants a friendly yet modern feel. Despite their origins as promotional items, the high-quality plastic construction and vibrant colors give them a striking presence. These piggy banks are not only a nostalgic memento of post-war German banking but also a statement of the optimistic spirit of the 1970s. Whether displayed as a collector's item on a shelf or as a colorful highlight on a mid-century sideboard, this duo brings Colani's futuristic charm directly into the present.
