Harts Tongue Fern Leaf Fountain

We collaborated with garden designer Frances Rausch, who was commissioned by her clients to undertake a comprehensive garden and home landscape transformation. The landscape design featured a large circular pond that needed a focal point. Seeking a contemporary organic design with fountain elements, Coade explored various shapes to find a sculpture that would complement the circular pond and exude vitality in all directions.

Inspired by the coiled unfurling fronds of the Hart’s Tongue Fern, symbolizing new life, the fountain’s center unfurls amidst leaves at different stages of unfolding until the last leaves fully open. Coade encountered challenges in balancing the weight and delicacy of the leaves and supporting the form without it appearing visually cumbersome. The collaboration with the clients resulted in a successful fountain design that you see today.
