Water and spirituality: The oldest symbol in everyday life

Water is the oldest symbol we know.

Source, purification, flow of life: in almost every culture, water stands for something greater. A fountain brings this symbol into everyday life, quietly and every day.

What water meansView fountains

Everything flows. A fountain reminds you of this every day.

What water means in many cultures.

Origin

Without water there is no life. In many traditions the source stands for beginning, abundance and a fresh start.

Purification

From baptism to the ritual handwashing at the stone basin in the Japanese tea garden: water stands for letting go and starting anew.

Flow

In feng shui and in Daoism, flowing water stands for movement, change and the flow of life.

Stillness

A calm water surface is seen as an image of a clear mind. Only when the water settles can you see to the bottom.

Moments of stillness.

Water running over stone, and light reflected in it. Small images for something greater.

How a fountain can become part of your day

  • As a centreNext to a picture, a plant, an object with meaning. Water connects.
  • In the eveningLights off, only the glow at the water's edge. Closing the day consciously.

  • Real materialNatural stone instead of plastic that looks like stone, because the real thing matters.
  • DurablePump and light can be replaced individually. A fountain is meant to last.

Every stone is different.

Every stone carries its own story, written over millions of years. That is why no fountain is like another.

Why stone

Natural stone: real, unique, made to last.

One of a kind

Natural stone has its own grain. No two pieces look the same.

Genuine

Slate, granite, marble, lava. No plastic in stone look.

Natural

Grown in the earth over millions of years, not cast in a mould.

Durable

Stone does not yellow. You can buy the pump and LED separately instead of throwing everything away.
