Description
Solar Fountain
This compact fountain was specifically developed for commercially available solar fountain inserts with an 18 cm diameter.
The design combines decorative aesthetics with simple functionality, allowing for quick setup without complex adjustments.
The solar insert is placed directly into the designated receptacle and held securely.
This creates a neatly integrated water feature for gardens, balconies, terraces, or courtyards.
Concept
Many small solar fountains appear improvised or require additional brackets.
Here, the receptacle is directly integrated into the model.
Result:
- precise fit for 18 cm diameter solar fountains
- easy installation without additional parts
- clean integration of the water element
- decorative and functional design in one system
A streamlined, practical design focusing on ease of use and reliable operation.
