About Contemporary Bowl
The Contemporary Bowl pairs a minimalist circular dish with a structured plinth base to bring moving water closer to eye level. Available in two proportional formats—79 x 27 and 59 x 24—this low-profile design introduces reflective surface calm and continuous acoustic masking across courtyard gardens, outdoor dining terraces, and indoor lightwells.
Various fountain heads can be fitted to regulate the water action across the top of the bowl, tailoring the movement from a smooth, glassy overflow to an audible bubbling plume. Because the plinth provides a stable pedestal, the bowl can be integrated into paving grids or surrounded by decorative river stones.

How do different fountain heads affect splash radius and wind drift?
A low-profile bubbling nozzle keeps water contained within the bowl perimeter, which suits indoor atriums or narrow patio paths. Tiered spray nozzles produce more sound and height but require wider clearance to prevent droplets from drifting onto surrounding paving during breezy afternoons.
What base preparation is needed when positioning the bowl on its plinth?
The plinth must rest on a firm, level surface such as reinforced concrete pavers, a poured slab, or level decking. An unlevel plinth causes the bowl to spill unevenly around one edge, reducing flow symmetry and increasing water loss.
How do you set up the Contemporary Bowl for indoor atrium use?
When installing indoors, choose a low-spatter fountain head, verify floor waterproofing beneath the base, and use a dedicated splash mat during initial flow calibration to ensure no overspray reaches interior flooring.
How should the bowl surface and fountain head be cleaned?
Wipe down the bowl waterline periodically with a soft microfibre cloth to remove mineral scale from Perth tap water, and rinse the fountain nozzle and pump intake monthly to prevent organic buildup from impeding water flow.
