Harmonia, Steel fountain sculpture on Aura River, Turku, Finland.

The Harmonia fountain rises 6.3 meters above the Aura River, constructed from 280 hand-forged stainless steel plates that reflect light across the water.

Installed in 1996 on the foundation of a former harbor crane, the fountain represents the transformation of Turku's industrial waterfront into a public art space.

The design elements of the fountain incorporate maritime themes, connecting to Turku's position as a significant port city in Finnish maritime traditions.

The fountain operates with flowing water from May through October and features illumination during Finland's darker months for year-round appreciation.

The metal surface treatment, developed using specialized German techniques, creates a multi-hued sheen that changes appearance throughout the day.
