Archiquarium. A Modern Swedish Fish Tank By Karl-Oskar Ankarberg.

At the Home Fair Exhibition earlier this month in Stockholm, the Swedish Aquarium Leasing (Akvarie leasing) company debuted something very unique - a spectacular modern aquarium, designed by Karl-Oskar Ankarberg, known for his collaborations with Orrefors glassworks.

The new aquarium named Archiquarium is something really special for both aquarium and design enthusiasts. The spectacular aquariums are reminiscent of ultra-modern architecture, rather than traditional aquariums. The clean rectangular shapes and surfaces are hallmarks of modern Scandinavian design.

Archiquarium is the work of increasingly high-profile designer Karl-Oskar Ankarberg. When the sketches were presented to the Aquarium Leasing AB, they quickly decided to go ahead and produce a prototype - which was presented to external design agencies in Karl-Oskar's booth No. AO4: 53 on the Home Fair, 7-10 October.







Aquarium Leasing AB leases and operates aquariums in over 2000 workplaces in industry and public sectors so that people can enjoy the serene spectacle that is the aquarium's signature. The company is based in Stockholm, Gothenburg, Malmo and Copenhagen.

A Fire Extinguisher That's Hot, Hot, Hot

WHY PINQY®?

PinQY® is a small yet very powerful tool that comes in handy when you have the beginnings of a fire at hand.

Its unique spherical shape gives PinQY® the same extinguishing capacity (in terms of pressure) as a 1 kg extinguisher!



With its lightweight and practical design, PinQY® is simple to use and easy to handle. It takes up little space, which means that PinQY® is not only also suitable for smaller living spaces (such as student rooms), it can also be placed right in any area that runs the risk of catching fire.

As it is “lightweight” and does not require much strength to handle, PinQY® can also be used by children, the elderly and the disabled.

Its pleasing design and gadget-like nature also make PinQY® a perfect present for your children, friends and family.


Where is a good place to put/bring PinQY®?

* campsites, boats, garages/sheds, gardens (by the barbecue for example), kitchens, bedrooms, student rooms, etc.
