A Timeless Fusion of Art and Nature at Red Carnation Hotels
January 29, 2025
Art has a remarkable way of transcending spaces, elevating an environment into something unforgettable. When I was commissioned to create the Aqualens Sphere Fountains for the renowned Red Carnation Hotels collection, I knew it would be a special project. 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.Ashford Castle Lodge, Ireland: A Dance of Water and Light
Nestled on the banks of Lough Corrib, Ashford Castle Lodge is a place where history and nature intertwine. My vision for the Aqualens Sphere Fountain here was to create something that reflected the tranquil beauty of the surroundings while evoking a sense of elegance and timelessness. 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.12 Apostles Hotel and Spa, South Africa: A Symphony of Motion
Situated between the dramatic cliffs of the Twelve Apostles mountain range and the sparkling Atlantic Ocean, the 12 Apostles Hotel and Spa is a masterpiece in itself. For this location, I wanted the Aqualens Sphere Fountain to mirror the natural power of the ocean and the grandeur of the mountains. The sphere fountain here is designed to be dynamic and captivating, offering guests a moment of stillness while being enveloped by the majesty of their surroundings.
