Designer Goldfish Bowls

Filed under: Decor, Art

A goldfish bowl is a goldfish bowl, pretty simple, right? Not to Roger Arquer, who looks at a bowl of water with a fish in it as a way to make significant statements about people and society. He has 15 different designs that cover all kinds of issues from finding privacy, playfulness, different fish living together, and even suicide. The fishbowls will be on display next month in London at the Noel Hennessey contemporary furniture showroom.

This design pictured here, Bottle Vase, speaks about how we often use objects for another purpose after the original one has ended.

A Very Pucci Birthday

As they say, what goes around comes around. And if you’re a fashion designer who has gone, come and gone around again by the time your label is 60 years old, then that’s a birthday well-worth celebrating. The Italian design house, Emilio Pucci, has issued a tank top in celebration of the milestone birthday. Pucci was first made famous by his swirling mid-century silk scarves, which were donned by the likes of Italian film queens such as Claudia Cardinale and Sophia Loren. The white and black top features a stylized screen print of a chic mademoiselle – the very vision of the lady of leisure and sunshine that once typified the “Pucci girl” in the early days of the label. Understated and simple, the stretch cotton jersey tee is matches anything from basic denim to a wilder Pucci print. This tank top is Pucci print for women who worry that they can’t pull off Pucci prints. Price: $245.

This unique tank from St. Maarten features an elegant figure in a flowing black ball gown. The gown wraps nearly all the way around the hem of the shirt, ruffles spilling onto the back. The raw, scalloped bottom edge makes the screen printed dress almost appear to melt into the wearer's own clothes! Paired with jeans, this is a fun, bold tee, but with a black bubble skirt to finish it off, the outfit will be a knockout. Price: $79.
