Is your life full of stress and worry? Do you have high blood pressure or insomnia?
Getting an aquarium may be a great way to relax!
Many studies
have shown that watching fish going about their daily business can
reduce your stress levels, lower your blood pressure and make you feel
more relaxed.
Besides all the health benefits, aquarium
can be a beautiful addition to your home that attracts a lot of
attention. To get you even more excited, we want to show you 22 unusual
and creative aquarium designs.
However, note that it’s highly recommended to build the aquarium around the chosen fish species and not the other way around.
1. Balancing Fishbowl
Just looking at this fish tank makes me
uncomfortable, however it “is resting on its counter-balanced weight” so
there’s probably nothing to worry about. Made from premium glass,
handblown and slumped by a master glassblower each tank has it’s own
unique form and individual characteristics. Available for £295.

2. One Pot, Two Lives
3. The Air Aquarium
“The Air 1 Aquarium is a glass, zeppelin-shaped aquarium supported by
a steel frame with simplistic design and combination of simple elements
that are part of everything yet autonomous according to the French
designer Amaury Poudray, a part of the brand new design studio “Matiere
A”.” (Designer: Amaury Poudray)
4. iPond
The iPond is an iPod accessory the combines a speaker with a tiny
aquarium. A single fish lives in about 650 milliliters of water. RSPCA
spokesman Hugh Wirth said despite the fighting fish’s ability to breathe
air from the surface, the tank was far too small for it to receive
adequate oxygen. (link)
5. Aquarium Sink
“This highly entertaining accessory allows you to enjoy an aquarium
or zen garden within your restroom. The top glass rises in case you need
to rearrange the decor and both sides offer a large, circular entry for
fish feeding.” (buy)
6. Mason Jar Fish Tank and Vase Shelf
“The jars unscrew from the bottom of the
shelf, making it easy to fill or clean the jars. The holes into the
mason jar are large enough to provide enough oxygen for a beta to
survive with a flower or plant coming through the shelf. It is the
perfect way to show off pretty flowers while grabbing the attention of
your guests at the same time!” (Designer: Christy)
7. Fishscape Fishbowl
“A reinterpreted design of the classic fishbowl, evoking the feel of a mountain range.” (Designer: Aruliden)
8. Telephone Booth Aquarium
Benoit Deseille and Benedetto Bufalino have transformed a regular
telephone booth into a functioning aquarium for the Lyon Light Festival
in France. (Designers: Benoit Deseille & Benedetto Bufalino)
9. Fish Tank Coffee Table
“This fish tank coffee table is a crowd
pleasure. Its base is a fully functional aquarium, and due to the
beleveled glass, nothing you place on the table will disturb the fish.
There is a two inch opening on the surface where feeding occurs and the
entire glass top is easily lifted when it is time to add fish or
redecorate.” (buy)
10. Pipeline Fish Tank
“This is a guy who is truly fan of
fishes and aquariums. He made this awesome pipeline fish tank which is
all over this caffe. You cat take a seat, relax and watch fishes how
swims in those pipes. It is very unusual but you must give him a mark
for creativity. Fishes can move from one aquarium to another because of
those pipelines which connects them.” (link)
11. Aquarium Office Table
“If you do not have enough room in your new office to put an aquarium, just integrate an Aquarium in the table.” (link)
12. Portable Fishbowl
13. Old TV Aquarium
“Ever wondered what to do with that ancient 26″ wooden TV set laying around in yours or your grandparent’s garage?” (link)
14. Aquarium Sofa
“This sofa features aquariums on both
its sides. So all those who love keeping fishes in your home, then this
is a must have for you. Its priced at just USD 12,000…not bad!” (link)
15. Fish Bowls
“This project presents fifteen different
pieces that explore variations of the iconic image of a fishbowl. Each
piece examines a topic or suggests a solution to a different issue, as
human qualities are being attributed to a fish.” (Designer: Roger Arquer)
16. Labyrinth Aquarium
“This very innovative and rare aquarium
is offered in three colors. The tables are produced in cherry, black or
carbon fiber and they conceal the rare filtration and lighting
components. Fish swim freely throughout the entire aquarium. Designed
for tropical freshwater fish.” (buy)
17. Hanging Fish Tank
“These unusual fish tanks display your
pet in a very creative manner. An LED light, which illuminates in moon
white, is built into the top (does not shine on fish). The feeding holes
are on top of the fish tanks.” (buy)
18. Infinity Aquarium
“The repetitive geometrical shape of Infinity aquarium creates a visual metaphor to life in the fish bowl.” (Designer: bcxsy)
19. Desktop Jellyfish Tank
“Desktop Jellyfish Tank is the first
affordable aquarium designed specifically for jellyfish and it’s as easy
to maintain as a regular fish tank.” (Designer: Alex)
20. Poor Little Fish
“Poor Little Fish is an unusual approach
to saving water. When using this basin, users are prompted into
thinking about consumption when the water level in the fishbowl goes
down (but does not actually drain out). There are two separate
pipelines, so the water level will go back to where it was once the
water stops running. As well, the water from the tap is pure, as its
pipeline does not connect to the bowl.” (Designer: Yan Lu)
21. World Trip Aquarium
“World Trip is a glass goldfish basin
which has shape of the world map. you can enjoy world wide trip and
adventure with goldfishes.” (Designer: Takuro Yamamoto)
22. Duplex Aquarium / Bird Cage
“Duplex is an acquarium/cage favouring
an improbable encounter between a bird and a fish. The aquarium is
thermoformed so as to create a space where the bird can fly at the same
visual level as the fish.” (Designer: Constance Guisset)
