Latest designs: The Ripple Faucet is not your typical bathroom sink…


Check out the Ripple Faucet, I’m sure from what you see, you will agree that this is no ordinary sink! Not even the fanciest hotels I’ve been in have got anything similar to this. You might wonder what a faucet is, well a faucet is a device for regulating the flow of a liquid from a reservoir such as a pipe or drum. From the picture you will agree that the Ripple Faucet is certainly a design filled with posh elegance integrated cleverly with a tiny bit of LED technology.

The faucet’s visual system is comprised of the ripple interface surface, two channels from which water flows and a metal ball that sits on top of the rippled surface which is used to control the faucet. By using this cleverly designed method, moving the metal ball away from the center increases flow and moving around the circles controls the temperature!

As you can see it’s equipped with LED underneath it, this has been tuned so that intensity and color of the LED are lit up according to the flow and water temperature.

Under the ripple surface there is an array of sensors and electromagnets that provide tactile feedback to the user as she moves the ball to discrete points on the surface.

I’m sure with a sink (or ‘faucet’) like this in your home, anything next to it will look nicer, even just a plain bar of soap! Visit Touch360 for more info using the link below…
