FRED Fountain
The FRED concrete drinking fountain by VPI Concrete designed to hydrate dogs and other pets. With its minimalist geometric design, FRED blends into urban landscapes. Animals can enjoy the fresh water from a thoughtfully crafted bowl beneath the fountain, while owners can quench their thirst and even refill their bottles.
What sets FRED apart is its clever feature - the bowl empties itself 1-2 minutes after each refill, eliminating the need for the usual steps required to empty dog bowls and thus saving the time. Drawing inspiration from Japanese bamboo water fountains FRED combines aesthetics with functionality. Made with Rohoznik White cement (CEM I 52,5 N), its pristine, consistent colour enhances the look, adding a sophisticated touch to any park or urban space. This innovative fountain is a welcome addition to city infrastructure, delighting pet owners and making outdoor spaces even more pleasant.
FRED won the iF DESIGN AWARD 2024 and the SIT Furniture Design Award 2024.
