The Darwin Sect is a company that started making insect displays in beautiful scientific bell jars. This concept led them further down the road to explore the concept of making a tank specifically for jellyfish. This minimal jellyfish tank plays with light in a way that's so interactive I can't wait to see it in my living room. It's like a sculpture, a fish tank, and a lighting installation all in one. you can pick one up for €1490 here.
