LE SIRENE

Water, light and sound: the lure of Le Sirene fountains

Forme d’Acqua presents Le Sirene, the new range of indoor fountains that add to water the bewitching power of sound and the charm of fine materials, skillfully shaped by expert craftsmen.

Luxurious and sensual: water glides over the finest marble and glass that has been crafted by hand, unique surfaces that make these fountains exclusive home accessories. The hypnotic fascination of water is amplified by the seductive power of sound, for which the fountain becomes a sound box; the fountain is designed to be a focal point in any room, with which it interacts to give you sensory experiences.

This new concept of designer fountain meets the state of the art and is fitted with dedicated software making all the functions of the fountain easy to operate directly from a smartphone or tablet.

It is extremely compact and silent and has an integrated operating system, which is invisible, efficient and consumes only a minimum amount of electricity, making it environmentally sustainable. During the design stage, particular attention was paid to the choice of materials, that had to guarantee maximum reliability, low environmental impact, and a very high level of durability.

CLEAN WATER

The secret to long lasting beauty of your Sirena can be maintained by using the kit of products that keep the water sparkling clean. Easy to use with a special dosage gauge that we supply. These products prevent the formation of algae and limescale that potentially takes away the colour and lucidity of the precious Sirena.

The fountain has an automatic water recharger that replaces any evaporated water. All you have to do is attach it to a half-inch water tap.

The structure can be installed by request with an automatic filter system that does it all for you. This appliance is separate from the fountain.

SUSTAINABILITY

Le Sirene are aquatic creatures, as a consequence they are concerned about energy saving and the environment. They are imperishable as they are made from durable materials which originates from natures; simple elements that lend themselves to life in an aquatic environment naturally. Stainless steel, marble, and Murano glass form the backbone, the matter and the smooth skin of this impressive creature.

The word Sustainable is therefore the correct definition for Le Sirene fountains, who arose and remain in their environment harmoniously. Every part of it is recyclable and, as you can see from its slim and minimalist design, it requires little energy, thus to show that beauty can be responsible.

HUMIDITY REGULATORS

To ensure thermo-hygrometric well-being in domestic environments, the temperature should ideally be around 20 degrees Celsius while the optimum air humidity level should be between 40 and 60 percent.

These values do not depend only on the air temperature, but also on the temperatures of the surrounding surfaces such as walls, ceilings and floors, which, in order to ensure a good quality of the living environment, should consist of natural and porous materials that are able to breathe and store the heat. Even air velocity (about 0.30 meters per second) contributes to improving the wholesomeness of space, especially in places such as offices, where polluting agents can be dropped by air displacement.

Le Sirene are able to cede air humidity, through the evaporation process, if they are placed in particularly dry environments and to hold it in the opposite case.
The movement of water on natural sliding surfaces also produces that useful air displacement to eliminate the harmful substances present in the atmosphere.

“Beautiful and sustainable, Le Sirene bring well-being and provide a healthy and balanced habitat”

Reliable technology

Italian design is combined with German technology
Italian design is combined with German technology. Performance, safety, and reliability are the basic requirements in the technical components.
The OASE water recycling pump is silent and has an energy consumption that can be compared to an A++ appliance.

Le Sirene by Forme d’Acqua have a heart and a pulse, a thiking head, a body that breathes and nourishes. The electric components that allow all these functions, the electric panel, the inverter and PLC are made by Siemens and Schneider, international leader in the sector.

The skilled and passionate technicians of Forme d’Acqua assemble and program the tecnological heart of the fountain.

An intuitive dedicated web interface, designed in collaboration with Arentech and DN Studios, allows you to control and manage all the functions of your Sirena directly from smartphones and tablets, such as remote control and weekly programming.

Interactivity

You will be amazed at all times
Despite being exact yet simple in their design, le Sirene have a natural, lively style.

They sense your approach and react with feeling: their rate increases and the water flows with greater intensity. They interact with the brightness of the environment, whilst maintaining a dynamic balance aimed at maximum beauty effect with the lowest power consumption.

You can set manual or automatic functions, programme on/off times, manage lighting and receive message updates from your Sirena informing you about its’ performance. The external-input function allows you to manage the fountain together with other appliances.

Assistance

We'll take care about everything

GLASS LINE

The panes of glass used for the Vetro line are made by hand on the island of Murano, by master glass maker, Nicola Moretti. His works bear the hallmark Vetro Artistico® Murano, which is not only a guarantee for the buyer, but also allows artistic glass from Murano to hold its value over time with the quality and beauty that make it totally unique.

Aurora

Handmade Murano glass light blue

Aurora, Goddes of Dawn
Shortly before the sun rises, the vibrant and golden light appears. It is the time when the brightness refracted from the lower layers of the atmosphere breaks the darkness and gives shape to things.

This magical moment has been fixed on the glass pane, entirely handmade, that dresses this Sirena. The pure gold, rich and sumptuous, opens up trails of light between the cobalt blue and the adventurine, in a magical and precious contrast.

Sirio

Handmade Murano glass black rust shirt

Sirio is a white star of the Canis Major Constellation. It is the brightest star of the night sky.

An anthracite black texture with precious silver reflections, enclosing small transparent apertures through which it seems to filter the light of the infinite. The energy of a thousand stars crystallizes on this vitreous surface to create the mantle of this Sirena. Vibrant and magnetic, like the celestial vault in the clear winter nights.

Polaris

Handmade Murano glass cobalt blue shirt

Polaris is the brightest star of the constellation of the Little Bear. It is the most sparkling star near the North Pacific Pole, reason why it is known as the Polar Star or the Northern Star.

Precious and unique: an extravagance of murrine handmade in the Murano furnaces, with a technique that has been handed down for centuries: crystal and aquamarine glass, worked at high temperature and wrapped in a cobalt blue shirt, pulled as glassrod by expert hands and cut, one by one, in small precious tiles then composed into the final slab. The result is the beautiful surface that dresses this Sirena.

Alya

Handmade Murano glass

Alya is a star of the constellation of the “Snake”. The head begins to emerge on the eastern horizon in the evening, in the second decade of April. The constellation then travels to the black skies, culminating in the late summer.

Its reflections have been imprisoned in the glass that covers this Sirena: rich in ferrous minerals, the fragments of black “rust” are fused at high temperatures until oxidation; while turning, they assume silvery and metallic shades.

Elettra

Marble from the Henraux - Luce di Carrara collection

Elettra, daughter of Atlas and Pleione, was one of the Pleiades and lived the Samotracia island, surrounded by the cobalt blue reflections of the beautiful Greek sea.

Elettra’s skin, Sodalite, comes from a quarry at 3800 meters on the Bolivian Andes and it is as beautiful as rare. Touches of deep blue approach the precious sodalite to the supernatural beauty of the sea abysses.
