From today our family is officially larger !!
Two goldfish have arrived, or better, one is yellowish and
one reddish. I must confess I love all pets and therefore I'm so happy with
this gift!
But like all real design addicted, immediately I want to
know everything about all kinds of tanks; which one can better satisfy my style
exigences?
Starting, obviously, from the very important assumption that
I think of the wellbeing of my finned friends, therefore from the choice of a
tank that can be first of all comfortable for their needs, let's see what you
can find around the world!
First of all a little history;goldfish originally came from
China, and the legend tells it's a divine messenger, sent to signal the end of
famines, and for that reason it was considered sacred and worshipped by noble
families and in temples!
It arrived in Europe at the end of 1700 after touring the
world, and here a real passion for goldfish broke out; they were used to
decorate tables, houses and even ladies! It wasn't unusual to use earrings in
the shape of a small glass tank with a live fish inside!
Of course this passion roused the inspiration of artists in
every time. Among our contemporaries
Sandy Skoglund fascinates me in all his interiors with pets: beautiful!
Going back to tanks, to be able to choose the best, I went
to glance what designers propose all over the world!
The Chinese site http://jeequ.com/9222/ proposes a wonderful labyrinth!
Barneys from New York proposes an aquarium designed by
Vanessa Mitrani: really super design!
I don't know though
how the poor fish can feel, probably it's better to use it for seaplants,
anyway very scenographic!
If you feel ready to keep more than one pet at home,
this project http://www.woohome.com/home-office/fish-can-fly combine different exigences!
For mountain fish here's a tank that doesn't make them feel
nostalgic for home!!!
Yanko Design designed a tank that “captures” the movements
of its guests and changes them into sounds and shapes. A new type of
communication ! Really futuristic.
If you feel ready to pass
to something more demanding, you can really find aquariums of any kind
of shape and size. A few super design
examples
AquaDom
in the Radisson Blu Hotel, Berlin
Malaysia interior
Dubai Mall
The biggest English aquarium
Interior design aquarium idea
This is my aquarium!
And now that they have a fantastic home, I have to hurry and
feed them!
Stay tuned
