The Comb Fountain is inspired by PWA moderne water infrastructure projects of Los Angeles like Hansen Dam and the LA River. The tabletop, ceramic fountain divides the water into three streams before disappearing into the porthole.
The volume and sound of the Comb Fountain can be modulated depending on how much water is added to the basin.
