A Creative Collaboration: Bower x Studio Proba

In collaboration with Studio Proba, Bower developed three new products in their Zendo collection: The Pivot Fountain, Waterline Chair, and Nirvana Rug.

Pivot-Fountain-1

The Pivot Fountain is a giant cylinder that appears to have been sliced in the middle, where the mid-section pivots out, revealing a colorful inside. A flat stream of water gently flows from the top down through each section, continuously circulating back up.

The Waterline Chair is a geometric chair made from peach-tinted glass with an undulating “waterline” at its top edge, layering over and visually submersing the velvet upholstered top. I love the combination of shapes and colors here – it feels like a sculpture that you can also sit in!

The Nirvana Rug is a pretty unique piece: a “sculptural meditation rug becomes a metaphorical journey of transcendence as the pile’s length increases from bottom to top, becoming the ‘steps to nirvana’.”
