Hungry Hippos Collection



The collection with the biggest smile in the world!
Hippos have been associated with joy and fun ever since the Happy Hippos from the Surprise Egg. This makes them perfect for a collection from DONKEY.
With our Hungry Hippos, a certain opulence returns to our homes. Bringing the unusual to life in the ordinary is both an inspiration and a challenge for us with pretty much every collection. The Hungry Hippos with the two vases, the bowl, the candle holders, the bottle stopper and the salt and pepper shakers take this alienation to the extreme.
Have you ever thought that your home is still missing a hippo? Have you not? And that's exactly why our Hungry Hippos have arrived at just the right time. We enjoy the unexpected that still fits into any interior style. As always, this joy grows when we share it.
The Hungry Hippos are a purely ceramic collection and if you're still wondering how we came up with the idea of creating a vase from a hippo... Whether it's hippos in water or water in hippos... let's not be so petty. One thing's for sure: every hippo in your home is a real statement and it's easy to smile wider with such big mouths.
