The Skotten money box, designed by Stig Lindberg in 1961 as a promotional object for Handelsbanken, Sweden's largest bank.

This example is finished in red plastic and takes the form of a Scottish Terrier – a design choice rooted personal biography. Lindberg owned a Scottish Terrier named Simon, and this personal affection for the breed informed the design's characterful proportions and simplified, stylised form.

Designer

Stig Lindberg (1916–1982) was a Swedish designer whose four-decade career at Gustavsberg established him as one of Scandinavia's most consequential figures in twentieth-century ceramics and applied arts. Beyond industrial ceramics, Lindberg worked across disciplines: promotional objects such as the Skotten and book illustrations. Lindberg's significance lies in synthesis: he brought studio sensibilities to industrial production without condescension, creating objects that were simultaneously affordable, functional, and genuinely designed.

Manufacturer

Handelsbanken, Sweden's largest bank, distributed Skotten boxes to customers – particularly children – as incentives for opening savings accounts, a common practice among European banks during the postwar decades when encouraging household savings was considered both commercially advantageous and socially responsible.
