The Palm Fountain

A three-tier fountain in white marble, at the heart of the terrace at Signor Sassi, St. Regis Gardens. The table everyone asks for.

The Commission

A London institution came to the Palm. Its terrace needed a centre. We carved one.

By Day

Lunch by the Water

Light through the pergola, water over three bowls, and the best seats in the house around it.

Every table faces it.

The Carving

Shell, Scroll and Leaf

Every bowl carved by hand. Every edge softened so the water runs quiet.

The Making

Built Once at the Yard, Once on the Palm

Basin walls, three tiers and the corner shells — stood up, checked, then packed.
