I have been thinking about the ways and possibilities of putting coins in and taking them out of the piggy bank. The "gap" piggy bank has also become the result of my thinking. Its biggest feature is that there is only one gap in the entire can that allows coins to pass through. To put the coin into the gap, if you want to take it out, you only need to face the gap down. Because of the gravity and the angle of 90 degrees, the coin will naturally fall out of the gap. Interestingly, when we face the piggy bank and want to take out coins from it, we will subconsciously look at the bottom of the piggy bank or other parts to find an exit; but when we put coins into a container, such as a cup or box, and want to take them out, we will subconsciously make a dumping action and pour the coins out. This design hopes to break the conventional thinking and look at the things around you from a different angle. I have been thinking about the way to get coins from the saving-pot. So I come up with a new saving-pot called "Crevice-Saving Pot”. The most noteworthy feature of" Crevice-Saving Pot” is that there is a only crevice on the saving pot. We could put coins in and get coins out easily through this crevice because of a right angle by the gravitational potential energy.Interestingly, when they get coins out from the common saving pots people always want to find a outlet at the bottom of saving pot. While we put coins in a cup or other containers, what we first think is dumping coins. "Crevice-Saving pot” breaks traditional ways of thinking, produces the massive creative idea of concept and looks at what others take for granted in a different way.

The Chinese name of the work is [gap], which is inspired by the gaps that can be seen everywhere in life, large or small, and can be found or ignored.

The opening has undergone many designs and adjustments, and the expected results have been achieved.

When you need to take out the coin, just rotate the piggy bank until the gap is facing down, and the gap is at a right angle, so the coin will slide out in the direction of the red arrow.

Classified management
Coins of different denominations, colors or countries can be classified and stored.

Save space and easy storage
The size of "gap" is 145*210mm, which is equivalent to the size of 32 books. It can be well integrated into different living environments.
