Izumi in Japanese means natural source. From this source, at the center of the fountain, the water flows out to the outside edge on a flat plane, then drop just before the edge of the stone surface. Thanks to its shape and the water collection system, Izumi can safely stand both in open environments, gardens, courtyards, and also indoors, both public and private. Observing the shape of the fountain from above, the image we have is a squared shape, static, minimal. Going down instead towards the base of the fountain this shape becomes curvy, unstable. As if it were the lower part of a drop of water, cutted horizontally. This is the idea that Izumi wants to communicate with the wavy lines surrounding the corolla around the base; circular ripples in the water as if they were in fact caused by a drop that falls. The same form refers to a second symbol, a zen garden, which is also marked by grooves regularly tracks in the sand. In this case the reference is to another natural element; the earth.

日本語で自然の源を意味するIZUMI、噴水の中心から噴き出た水は平らな面の外縁に流れて、石の表面をつたって下に流れるようにデザイン。IZUMIは、自主循環システムによって公共の開放的な環境から庭園、中庭、屋内、までどこでも設置することができる。上からの噴水の形を見ると、静的でミニマムな印象を与え、底に向かうにつれ、形が曲がりくねって有機的になる。その形は水滴のようになり波紋模様のベースと接する。それはまるでIZUMIの水滴が落ちて生まれる水の波紋のようである。同じ形の連続は、砂の中に溝が規則的に描かれている禅の庭の印象も付随する。禅の庭における波紋を作るものは、自然の要素であり、地球である。
