Sabine Marcelis stacks reclaimed onyx slabs for fountain in Amsterdam's Vondelpark
Designer Sabine Marcelis has teamed up with Dutch stone supplier SolidNature to create a water fountain in Amsterdam's biggest and most famous park.
Located in front of the Vondel Paviljoen and near the Blue Tea House in Vondelpark, the installation features three stacked stone volumes placed at differing orientations, with water pouring down from two sides.

Named Vondel Fountain, Stacked, the piece repurposes coloured onyx stone slabs from the SolidNature installation at last year's Milan Design Week.
"By repurposing these materials, we not only reduce waste but also showcase the timeless and enduring quality of natural stone," SolidNature CEO David Mahyari told Dezeen. The fountain is made using repurposed stone from an installation at Milan Design Week 2023
The movement of water is an ongoing preoccupation for Marcelis, who has also designed fountains for fashion brand Fendi and the Mies van der Rohe Pavilion in Barcelona.
"These experiences have enhanced my understanding of how water can transform spaces, through its movement, sound and the ambience it creates," she told Dezeen.
"Water has been a recurring element in my work, acting as both a medium and a source of inspiration."
