The World Is Your Oyster… Or Fishtank!

As we take on the struggles of setting up a fishtank in our office here at Pop-Up City, this fabulous aquarium concept for Designboom’s TIFF Awards is a timely splash of inspiration. Designed by Takuro Yamamoto Architects, the glass fish basin is a stylized version of a world map that doubles as a coffee table.

Titled ‘World Trip’, the concept is to let the viewer vicariously enjoy some jet-setting adventures through the fish’s worldly travels. Having the world at your fingertips, overrun by your goldfish minions, is a sure way to incite a good power trip!
