Product Information




DISCONTINUED - The Most Beautiful Aquariums of the World by Alf Nilsen and Svein Fossa. 176 pages. Over 200 color photos. Hardcover

In Tectums newest book project The Most Beautiful Aquariums of the World the sole focus is, for the first time in any modern aquarium book, on how an aquarium can enhance your home. A well designed aquarium can become a focal point in even the most fashionable of living rooms. The Tectum team selected and photographed the top of the top aquariums from amongst several of the most discriminating aquarium owners in the world. This book focuses on architecture, decoration and furniture, as well as the aquariums and living aquatic organisms. Through sequences of beautiful photography and short pieces of text, it tells the story of how a small segment of nature, in the form of life in a glass encased box, can be a part of a beautiful room interior.
