This funky fishbowl by Danny Cheung, 1984 Fishbowl, was inspired by and takes its name from the novel '1984' by George Orwell. The design is innovative in meeting the needs of a non-human species, a design that ironically engages our own instinctive curiosity.
The 1984 Fishbowl features an asymmetrical shape with solid white walls and three generous domed portholes providing privacy for your fish yet also views from your hallway to your living room. The domed portholes effectively create an ethereal magnifying lens for compelling entertainment. The fish use the opaque walls for refuge and peer out the windows when curiosity strikes. ™

Although round bowls are not great for fish, the mix of windows and solid walls makes this fish friendly - which is great for those of us who have a soft spot for the traditional fish bowl and don't want a giant square aquarium.
The design is also very sleek and looks amazing with a aquatic fern. It's also a little smaller than we expected, but it's a good size that keeps it a little subtle.
