‘Becher’ Water Tower
Designer: Danny Duquemin-Sheil
Materials: Copper, brass, bronze, steel, beech, leather, rubber, spirit level.
With a form based upon the iconic rooftop structures seen throughout America, this tabletop version is for dispensing drinking water. The perfect centerpiece for a dinner party, it is sure to start conversation.
Ultimately, the intention is to encourage people to drink more water – one of the simplest, but most effective lifestyle changes that can be made to improve one’s health.
The benefits of storing water in Copper are numerous; this naturally occurring metal has been used in this way for centuries, and is known to have anti-bacterial properties.
Inspired by the architectural photography of Bernd and Hilla Becher, this piece takes their name as tribute.
