Dark Planet Fountain

Our Dark Planet Fountain is a captivating garden water feature. The sophisticated symmetry of these mesmerising spheres is unique to every piece, as each stone or slate shard is carefully selected and painstakingly positioned by hand.

As a water feature, Dark Planet Fountain will elevate your outdoor living space. Water gently cascades over the irregular polished puddle stones or slate shards. And as light catches the droplets, the piece transforms into a glistening polished sphere.

Design details

Here, our natural stone sphere water feature appears as if floating on a large reflective pool. Water gently tumbles over its surface of glistening dark puddle stones creating a focal point that is both an aural and visual delight in this exquisite outdoor space.

“I love to take rough ‘masculine’ elements and transform them into smooth sculptural surfaces.”

David Harber

The water fountain emits a relaxing babble of trickling water. The level of sound created can be adjusted so that the piece can be used to help drown out the sound of heavy traffic.

Typically this would consist of draining the piece a few times a year to remove any debris. Once clear, it can be refilled with fresh water. In areas of hard water or high salt content, the tank will need to be drained more frequently as the concentration of salts in the water increases over time. Maintenance instructions will be issued on installation.
