The Tropism Well

The Tropism Well  is a modernized take on the water fountain. Sensing the approach of an individual the well begins to lean automatically as water is pumped into the stem, pouring enough water to fill a glass. The motion of the fountain is really elegant and certainly puts a twist on a common functional object.

Through the synthesis of nature and technology, these structures explore the relationships we have with objects and spaces that surround us on a daily basis. The simple gestural connection creates a stimulating and symbolic moment. The Tropism Well uses natural laws of physics to function. Once it has seen you, the gentle bowing motion is created simply by moving water up and down the stem.

Ideal for festivals and events and also open up conversations for permanent installations to replace the current ageing drinking fountains in public spaces and gardens.
