Modern Civic-Inspired Fountains

Lily Clark Unveils the New Loop Fountain with Tranquil Energy

— March 20, 2023 — Art & Design
The Loop Fountain is a tranquil design by Lily Clark and to create it, she drew inspiration from historic moments. During the Great Depression, many sponsored federal programs dubbed the New Deal helped put Americans back to work and it transcended communal structures that were defined by utility, artistry, craftsmanship, and more.

This optimistic part of history is captured through the Loop Fountain. It has a design made from cast stone materials and the tabletop foundation can be used for both indoor and outdoor settings. At the top, there is a small opening that can hold an arrangement of grasses, flowers, or small branches for a tranquil visual aesthetic. Due to the material and minimal design, it channels a Brutalist design theme.
