Living by the ocean can have a calming effect on people, that’s why beachside property is so expensive! If you can’t afford that or maybe sand on ALL THE THINGS isn’t exactly your cup of tea, then the Living Art Collection will bring a little taste of sea life, right to your desk.

These are cultured algae selections, like little underwater terrariums. When people think algae, they probably envision that green sludge that floats on top of the water and sticks to the side of tanks. That is certainly a type of algae but these jars use strands that are a lot more aesthetically pleasing.

Each jar comes with a different variety of living algae but even if you happen to end up with two of the same species, they will still appear slightly differently as these are living plants. Each jar will thrive at room temperature in low light settings making them ideal for offices. They come in three different types/size jars. The Living Art Collection starts at $34.95.
