Of course your goldfish is a beloved pet, but the presence of a fish tank also satisfies as a decorative object. With the Ice Cube Fishbowl, you would have opportunity to have a bit more fun with your interior ornamentation, all the while giving your finned friend a comfortable place in which to dwell.
Designer Arthur Xin (who also goes by Se Xin) came up with this concept of using more glass material for a thicker and more obscured form. The object is based on a cuboid shape, but takes the appearance of a drink chiller that has begun to melt down its middle. The hollow Ice Cube Fishbowl is left with an open top to provide easy access to the scaly creatures inside of it. It only looks natural with water filled up to the brim.
