The jellyfish is an awe-inspiring and intriguing creature. Unlike their real-life counterparts, these innovative jellyfish designs won't scare you. Apparently I am not the only one who thinks this because this Top List is full of jellyfish-inspired fashions, food, lamps and more.
This may come as a surprise to some but the form of a jellyfish actually doubles as a good-looking lamp. A jellyfish also makes a mean skirt, ring and tutu. These innovative jellyfish designs perfectly illustrate how a little imagination and some major skill can take a semi-obscure sea creature and turn it into a design icon. Next time you enter the ocean, be sure to keep your eyes open for signs of inspiration. I hear sea turtles are going to be huge this year.
