Concept
Twisted Falls
Inspired by Corkscrew Falls, this design mimics the ornate and organic nature of the falling water. The gentle rocking of the spout turns on and off the flow of water while mirroring the movement of a waterfall.
This faucet is designed for a contemporary interior that focuses on elements inspired by nature. The user experience is focused on peace and connection to the earths natural elements.
To ensure avoidance of bending or twisting the wrist to operate the tap, the faucet is designed to be activated by the gentle movement of pushing and pulling the spout backward and forward. This thoughtful mechanism not only enhances user convenience but also mimics the graceful flow of water, creating a seamless and natural experience.
