As much as people might rebel against the thought, first impressions count and when it comes to the home, that impression can very well start with the letterbox, especially if it is modeled after the traditional ones placed at the end of the lawn like the Koo Koo Mailbox is. Yet that is where its traditional element ends. In place of the classic red color and boxy shape, the Koo Koo Mailbox is modeled after a bird.
Designed by Playso, a lifestyle brand hailing from Australia, the Koo Koo Mailbox is not gaudy in anyway, however. Instead, it mimics the bird shape in a very contemporary, geometric way. Available in a few bright colors, the Koo Koo Mailbox also provides two places to store the mail.
