The sound and sight of water-in-motion has long been known to serve as an agent of stress-relief, fostering a sense of peace and quiet reflection. In the FlowingWATER Series of fountains, you will encounter the same modern designs of Charles Swanson’s basins and garden planters, with a few structural modifications, and an easy-to-install fountain assembly (available for numerous configurations). Bring a perpetual eddy of watery motion into your garden, home, or work space with the addition of a Birth of Venus water fountain.
Solas
With generous curves and a quiet asymmetry, the Solas fountain is a formal meditation on the qualities of stillness and motion found in nature. The solidity of the bowl-like form against the constant fluidity of moving water gives the Solas fountain a magical energy, bringing the rivers of the world into your garden or home design project. Well suited for projects of any scale, both indoor and outdoor, this fountain is available in four sizes ranging from 24 inches to an impressive 96 inch bowl.
Solas - 24"
Solas - 36"
Solas - 48"
Solas - 96"
Zola
The Zola fountain is inspired by the tsukubaki, or “crouching basins” of 13th century Japanese tea gardens. Characterized by a perfectly circular aperture, and full rounded lines balanced by a sturdy base, this form-like the sprit of Zen-embodies the qualities of simplicity, refined beauty, and stillness. Centering the energy of the water at its core, the Zola fountain adds a subtle and soothing ambience to any space.
Lura
A slightly raised outer edge reveals a quiet inner shelf surrounded by a subtle eye-shaped trough, as four distinct sculptured lines slope downward to a diamond-shaped base. Inspired by another ancient Japanese-style basin known as the chozubachi, the Lura fountain's crisp elegant shape portrays—all at once—solidity and motion, tradition and innovation. Standing exactly one foot high, Charles Swanson’s Lura is an exquisite compliment to a larger garden or as an eye-catching centerpiece. The Lura is now available as a 36 inch water fountain with either a smooth or stepped profile.
Smooth - 36"
Stepped - 36"
Enki
Bold. Mysterious. Captivating. The Enki fountain takes its original inspiration from an earlier Charles Swanson project design: a commissioned rain catcher. With long sleek lines flowing gradually down into a generous and meticulously sculpted bowl, the Enki’s one hundred and eight inch footprint is a stunning way to feature a large fountain within any interior or exterior space.
Ceres
Ceres' striking symmetrical structure is among the most highly sought after of Charles Swanson's water fountain designs. A blend of smooth elongated lines, sturdy base, and dream-like watery depths, the Ceres fountain has become a popular addition to patios, gardens, and award-winning residential design projects. With a ninety-six inch footprint, the Ceres offers a gentle-yet-commanding presence to any entryway. Minor adjustments in the casting and the addition of a stainless steel weir allow the Ceres water fountain to be configured with either a single or double waterfall feature.
Misu
Standing three feet tall and nearly two feet wide, the Misu is another highly popular Charles Swanson water fountain design. The Misu, with its deep hollow featured at the top of the form and soft edges sloping down to an elegant but sturdy base, is another chozubachi inspired piece. The uses of this green-friendly standing bowl have ranged from a hand-washing basin to a calming outdoor garden fountain bringing the soothing sounds of flowing water to any space.
