Lyon designers USIN-e have designed an aquarium in the shape of a test tube.
Called Air3, the aquarium is open at one end, supported by a thin metal stand.
Photographs are by Laure Mélone.
Here's some more information from the designers:
USIN-e is showing a new generation of Airs aquariums. It was on show for the first time at USIN-e’s exhibition, March 2010, in La Bergerie, Marseille.
This aquarium is a glass bubble caught mid-fall by a metal structure. As other Airs models, Air3 was created using the techniques of scientific glassware. Hanging up in the air, Air3 tells us about weight and elevation.
Materials: Glass, metal
Size: diameter 15cm, 80cm X 25cm
Production: AD , Christophe Bailleux

Fish with love these…
… not. I'm a liar. Fish will hate these aquariums. Are you nuts?
how do you know what fish like and dislike?
please dezeen, no cages or aquariums …
Fish can hate?
I actually have enjoyed seeing a variation of aquarium designs. Keep them coming. I’d rather see the home aquarium objectified then an entire home.
Disregarding the object itself, the presentation of it is great! Combination of anime cat girl, chopsticks and what is meant to look like a goldfish… excellent.
O. : Dezeen posts cages and aquariums for humans, why not for fish??
Michael: ditto
Interesting theatrics in the photos. I’m not sure what fish will like this. Besides how do you do maintenance?
yea…where does the water pump go?
This tube is used to abuse fish!
@nnn : have you ever seen a water pump in a regular fishbowl ?

Cat Girls are kinda creepy… not to mention totally distracting.
