Here goes a round of applause for Robert Young, the creative mind behind refining the existence of pondable table that lets you stay with your dilemma of whether it’s a pond that’s a table or a table with integrated pond. Having talked about aquarium table or eco-desk aquarium by Azoo, one thing is sure that this is definitely not unique in terms of its offerings of bringing an aquatic feel to your abode. Then what made me talk about this pondable stuff here?
Away from only fishes, this full sized garden table comes with integrated and easily maintained garden pond. It has a power to arrest people of all age-group and during twilight time; it enables you to be in the company of fish by turning on the lights.
This handcrafted table is developed using chunky intertwining timber with every single piece absolutely layered with a high grade outdoor treatment before assembly.

It comes with a lifetime guarantee. The water can be roofed over to expand your dining space and you would be surprised to know that this fully-filtered 450-litre pond comes with a winter heater, lights and a water feature. It demands just 5-minutes from you in a month for its maintenance. Retailed at £1,300, the smaller table can house 4-6 people whilst the banquet can accommodate 12-16 and is priced at £3,000. It’s easy to install as all you to need to do is to change water, add fish and plug in.

A new concept is ready to hit your mind and its elite theory aim s at not only hitting but dominating it. Called the Local River, it is a creation by a French designer Mathieu Lehanneur and stands upon the theory of domestic “refrigerator-aquarium†that raises freshwater fish for eating and grows vegetables simultaneously. In layman terms, it can be defined as aquaponic kitchen gardens with integrated fish tank. It can be seen as a perfect replacement of ornamental ‘TV aquarium’ by a life-sized ‘refrigerator-aquarium’. For this particular design, Mathieu takes inspiration from a San Francisco based group known as the Locavores who eat foods grown within a 100-mile radius of their city to diminish their impact on the surroundings.

The project enables people to grow their own food at home and thus the growing vegetables in floating pots assures purification of water by eliminating nitrates and other reserves. The concept will be demonstrated at the Artists Space Gallery in New York from 25 April. Well, saying how early it can be devised is not possible now but we are hoping seeing it installed in various homes in near future.
