Dezeen’s top ten: our latest top ten features the most popular Dezeen stories about designs inspired by, created for or made of animals.

1: Most popular is London designer Roger Arquer’s series of conceptual mousetraps (above) that are intended “only to catch mice, not to kill them”.

2: In second place is another project from Arquer, which presents 15 variations on the standard fish bowl (above).

3: Lighting and furniture designed for the Vondelpark in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, by Landscape architect Anouk Vogel and architect Johan Selbing.

4: Jewellery and sculpture pieces based on Victorian taxidermy by London artist Kelly McCallum.

6: The Menagerie photoshoot, curated by Dezeen’s Marcus Fairs and Rupinder Bhogal.

7: London-based designer Tithi Kutchamuch was inspired to design the Secret Friend range of jewellery pieces with animal-shaped bases following the death of her dog.

8. Animal-shaped radiators by Dutch designer Guus Van Leeuwen.

9: City Dog Adventure by Dutch designer Maartje Dros – a play space for both children and dogs.
