Ripple faucet

Just as it happens with high tech devices and cars bathroom fittings become more stylish and modern as well. At present the fact, that people have every necessary detail in their bathroom, can not fully satisfy them. Every single device should be both stylish and as ergonomic as possible. Because of this, trying to guess customers' wills, designers create more and more gadgets everyday.

The gadget designed by Smith Newnam and Touch360 Studio can be regarded as one of such masterpieces. Given device named Ripple faucet creates an absolutely new funny way interact with water. Drawing inspiration from surface ripples, the faucet creates a strong visual relationship between two water jets. A metal ball sits on the top of the frosted ripple surface. Due to an array of the electromagnetic sensors the position of the ball can be easily detected. Water pressure is controlled by moving the ball in or out from the center. As regards the temperature it can be controlled by moving it around.

However the most characteristic feature of this gadget consists in the fact that both ripple surface and water glow red or blue to denote whether it's hot or cold. It really looks great. Moreover two separate channels can combine hot and cold water to get the perfect mix. Yet if you like using hot water, don't worry about scalding yourself, because the water in the hot water channel is not actually hot until it's ready to be mixed via flash heating.
