Hand studies? Abstract clay form studies? Nah. In the end, London-based Roger Arquer decided to go with Fish Bowls. Fifteen iterations later, a collection of thoughtful designs were born that bury all notions of the classic fish bowl from which each concept was derived from. "Each piece examines a topic or suggests a solution to an issue," says Arquer. For example, the above study, "XS or XL", illustrates the relationship between a big fish and small fish that coexist.

Fish Bowls will be showcased at Conversational Spanish 02, an exhibit that celebrates Spanish designers, curated by Hector Serrano, running alongside the 2007 London Design Festival.
