mario tsai’s side table is reminiscent of the piggy bank

chinese designer mario tsai‘s ‘pig’ serves as a side table as well as a storage unit — made of an aluminum tube, the piece can store your magazines and other sundries. inspired by the piggy bank, the table is reminiscent of a pig with a hat.

the table consists of a tube, a tray, arranged on the top, and legs, each made of aluminum. tsai’s pig is available in two sizes — 250 mm and 200 mm in the tube’s diameter — and different colors to meet different storage requirements and fit various interiors.
