Hinmun is inspired by the classic Feng Shui rolling marble fountain, which is believed to bring good fortune and can be seen at homes, storefronts and offices. Despite the persistence of Feng Shui beliefs, the charm has lost its appeal among younger generations due to its complicated installation and dated aesthetic. As a designer, however, I appreciate the interesting character of the fountain and see its potential for a bigger market. I took a couple of the fountain’s features and redesigned it with crisp, clean modern materials and finishing. Instead of marble, I went with different types of stones with healing properties (e.g. Quartz, Howlite, Obsidian and Green Aventurine), expanding the market from Feng Shui believers to stone collectors and home decorators.
