Fountain Kinetics' History

In 2003 Fountain Kinetics, an offshoot of Armchair World was formed with the aims of 1) developing kinetic water-based art fountains and water features, 2) developing consumer and industry-based products, and 3) developing and patenting technology for licensing.

From 1995 through 2006 as Fountains by Armchair World we designed and fabricated a large number of indoor art fountains and designer fountains which were sold directly to the public, through art gallery venues throughout the continental United States and Hawaii, and in retail venues such as the Discovery Channel stores.

Parent company Armchair World was co-founded in 1995 by Gary Fisher and Lisa Thompson. The company has a diffuse business model that covers a variety of areas ranging from cuisine to travel. In October 2006 Fountain Kinetics split from Armchair World and is now a division of ArtSciDesign, LLC - a company formed by Gary to merge engineering, science, and design into consumer-based products. Gary is no longer a part of Armchair World.
