Working with the Elements

Nature’s Rhythm in Motion:
Flow forms capture the essence of water as living energy. As water weaves through curves and spirals, it oxygenates, revitalizes, and reflects the eternal pulse of rivers and streams. Each ripple becomes a gentle reminder that flow is life — constant, renewing, and restorative.

​

Feng Shui & Energy:
In feng shui, moving water symbolizes prosperity, harmony, and the free circulation of qi. Flow forms embody this principle, guiding water in balance, creating calm resonance, and restoring vitality to both land and spirit.

​

Inspiration for Design:
For me, flow forms are more than sculptural water features. They are living artworks — invitations to pause, to witness nature’s dance, and to reconnect with stillness. Whether set within a courtyard, healing garden, or retreat landscape, they harmonize space and awaken presence.

Volcano Bubbler Water Feature
A volcano bubbler introduces the calming sound and gentle movement of water into the landscape. Its continuous flow softens the space, bringing a sense of balance and tranquility that complements the simplicity of Zen design. In Feng Shui, moving water symbolizes abundance, clarity, and the steady circulation of energy, making the bubbler both a visual focal point and a source of harmony within the garden.

Rhythmic Movement: Flow forms move water in figure-eight, lemniscate patterns. This movement mimics natural streams, breaking up stagnation and reducing anaerobic (low-oxygen) conditions that cause foul odors or algae blooms.

​

Oxygenation: As water cascades through the forms, it absorbs oxygen from the air. Oxygen-rich water supports healthy pond ecology, feeding beneficial microbes that naturally cleanse the water.

​

Biological Activation: The rhythmic motion activates micro-organisms that break down waste and toxins, supporting a living water cycle. This means less need for harsh chemical treatments.

​

Energetic Renewal: Beyond the physical, flow forms are said to restore water’s vitality — bringing back the “living quality” lost in stagnant or mechanically pumped systems.

Pietro Stoneware Fire Pit in a light wood colour finish.

In Feng Shui, fire represents transformation, vitality, and passion.

A fire pit becomes more than a gathering place—it is a focal point where energy is activated and uplifted. Positioned with care, it balances the natural flow of Qi on the land: grounding warmth against the coolness of water, anchoring light within the stillness of night.

The dancing flames invite connection, storytelling, and renewal, while symbolically burning away stagnant energy to create space for new beginnings. In harmony with the surrounding elements—earth, water, wood, and metal—the fire pit embodies balance, bringing both intimacy and vibrancy to the landscape.

This stunning 1.8-metre wide feature sits proudly on a finely crafted stand, making it a true statement piece for any garden. With its textured finish, reminiscent of riveted steel plates formed into a bowl, the design carries a sense of strength, history, and elegance.

Originating from Northern India, the Kadai form was traditionally used as a large cooking vessel during festivals and weddings—symbols of gathering, abundance, and celebration. Reimagined as a planter, pond, or water feature, this piece brings both cultural heritage and contemporary refinement into the landscape.

​

In Feng Shui, the wide bowl shape embodies receptivity and openness, while water represents abundance, clarity, and the flow of positive energy. Placed thoughtfully, this feature becomes more than a design statement—it acts as a vessel for harmony, prosperity, and stillness in the garden.
