This series of fountains, now featured at some of the most beautiful and luxurious hotels across the world, is a celebration of both design and nature, where the fluidity of water meets the geometric elegance of sculptural forms.

Nestled on the banks of Lough Corrib, Ashford Castle Lodge is a place where history and nature intertwine.

The fountain features a smooth, polished sphere that releases a gentle cascade of water, creating a mesmerizing reflection of the lush, green landscape. During the day, the light dances off the surface, and as evening falls, the illumination creates a soft glow, adding a magical touch to the property’s iconic gardens.
