Bunny Bank by Eric Bonnin
Introducing finalist number eight in our lineup of nine for this year’s GFL “Make Change” competition:
French artist Eric Bonnin expresses lighthearted humor with his Bunny Bank, with the suggestion that this rabbit offers a “multiplier effect.” Handmade in black stoneware and glazed in shiny black with a bronze sheen, it’s a functional sculpture which will need to be broken or shaken to reveal its contents. Bonnin has been a ceramicist in New York City for 15 years.
Finalists’ designs will be displayed in the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center’s Crystal Palace lobby during the summer 2010 NYIGF. Two awards (a “Peoples’ Choice Award” based on voting by market participants, and a “Designer Distinction Award” as determined by a panel of professional designers – Mark Blackwell, Sandy Chilewich and Evette Rios) will be presented.
Proceeds from the competition will benefit the charitable efforts of Gift For Life and its sole beneficiary, DIFFA: Design Industries Foundation Fighting AIDS, one of the largest funders of HIV/AIDS service and education programs in the U.S. Since its founding in 1984, DIFFA has mobilized the resources of the design communities to provide more than $38 million to hundreds of AIDS organizations nationwide.
