Private Aquarium - Ichiro Harada

Landscape architect Ichiro Harada designed and handcrafted this Private Aquarium for tropical fish from acrylic resin plates. It is a 10litre tank with an 11cm width with a built in illuminating lamp...and I am in love. Cylinders span the entire width of the tank acting as a handle for the user to change the viewing angle of the fish. Not only that, but they also help to provide structural resistance to water pressure. If you ask me, I think the four years of development was well worth it.

I discovered this at the Hara Museum shop, and cannot find any more [english] information on the fish tank or the designer. It costs about 20300 Yen.

Anemona (Visually unstable lamp)

An interesting project by Igor Pinigin. I think the lamp itself is so so, but the concept is pretty cool. The lamp can basically stand in any way you place/tilt it.

Flexibin - minimalist garbage bin

This is a garbage bin by Li Jianye and it won the 2009 iF product design award (international forum design). I really enjoy its simplicity of form. His blog contains other concepts by him and are pretty interesting too.
