The Natural Fountain (TNF) stands out with its timeless and inartificial design language, reflecting modern people's pursuit of a simple and cozy lifestyle. The soft top curved surface creates a water puddle for pets to drink from, evoking a sense of minimalism and a connection to nature. The geometric body of TNF features an innovative UV sterilization and water circulation filter system, ensuring the health and cleanliness of the water.
Made of ABS injection molding, TNF showcases a pure white color that enhances the device's unique and elegant top curved surface. Its dimensions of 200mm x 200mm x 180mm make it compact and suitable for various living spaces.
The Natural Fountain is designed to be user-friendly with a single button operation. By simply touching the button, the dispenser turns on, and a long press for 3 seconds turns it off. The device works automatically, providing a hassle-free experience for pet owners.
The project for The Natural Fountain began in August 2019 in Beijing and was completed in March 2020 in Shenzhen, China. Throughout the design process, the team faced the challenge of balancing minimalist aesthetics with a natural style, resulting in a product that seamlessly integrates into any home environment.
Acknowledging its excellence, The Natural Fountain was awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in the Pet Care, Toys, Supplies, and Products for Animals category in 2021. This prestigious award recognizes designs that demonstrate outstanding creativity and resourcefulness, incorporating best practices in art, science, design, and technology. The Natural Fountain not only showcases strong technical and creative skills but also contributes to improving the quality of life for both pets and their owners.
