A promotional money box designed by Stig Lindberg for Handelsbanken in 1961, in blue injection-moulded plastic.

The form derives from Lindberg's own dog, Simon, whose likeness he translated into this compact, stylised silhouette. The result is an object that functions as both savings tool and minor sculpture: simplified planes, alert posture, minimal detail.

Handelsbanken produced the Skotten in multiple colours throughout the 1960s and beyond, distributing them to young customers as encouragement to save.

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.
