French designer Arthur Hoffner<\/span><\/a> has an affinity with ironwork, his most recent work is a collection of abstract interior fountains that are being exhibited until the end of September as a part of Design Parade at Villa Noailles, Hy\u00e8res in the south of France.<\/p>\n

In this collection, Hoffner draws upon the \u201cprimal relation between man and the waterfall\u201d noting the mysterious nature of its endless cycle and relating it to the opulent fountains at Versailles and the mysterious water of Broc\u00e9liande; the enchanted medieval forest that featured in Arthurian tales. \u201cWe will here consider the interior fountain\u201d, his statement about the project reads, \u201cthis domesticated parcel of nature, as an opportunity for wonder. We will reinvent this seemingly useless display amid a world subjected to utility.\u201d With clever construction, Hoffner\u2019s indoor fountains become more than a receptacle for serene contemplation, he explains his designs as being a \u201cmischievous opportunity for pleasure.\u201d The pieces are playful; constructed out of multiple elements that, Hoffner explains, are part of an attempt to authentically incorporate the pieces into the domestic landscape.<\/p>\n
