1984 Fishbowl
The genius of human industrial design often focuses more on our happiness than our animal cousins. Designer Danny Cheung opts to take that focus and shift it towards its subject, in this case - a goldfish.
They live pretty boring lives, totally exposed for our amusement. His 1984 Fishbowl is innovative in meeting the needs of the goldfish which engages our own instinctive curiosity. The domed portholes create an ethereal magnifying lens for compelling entertainment while the opaque white walls provide refuge and privacy for our friend.
The design was the star at the Australian design exhibition workshop and is now for sale. $390 buys you a piece of art and design suitable for both you and your aquatic friend.

A goldfish has a memory span of 6 seconds. To describe them as leading boring lives is about as strange as believing humans are amused by looking at their Alzheimer dance. What is amusing is people paying $390 for it. Can you drink coffee out of it?
Would the kids forgive you if you swallowed a carrot replica Goldfish...
