Really great design , great imagination from the designer…
Only problem is the actual pressure of the water , unlike in normal taps where it can spray in a downward direction.

oh man, i hoped this would wind up here. I think these three illustrations actually show very explicitly how the system works, which is a very complex thing.

only thing: have you thought of changing the colors of the light to more neutral tones to suit higher-end bathroom environments? like a crimson for the red? I just think that a select few might not believe that pure bright red or blue will “match” their otherwise anally detailed bathroom aesthetics. actually the blue looks nice. the red sticks out.

I want one of those so bad. But dont lose the ball. What would happen? Also where does the ball go when you are done.

I am completely in love. Zip me up in a time-freeze for five years and wake me up when every bathroom has some variation of this.

I love the faucet but I would do a diff basin. maybe something with a hard contrast to the softness of the faucet.

Suggestion: Magnetize the ball (or the material underneath it) and make the control surface a dimpled texture (like a golf ball) and it would be perfect (for me anyway).

It looks like it would be hard to clean. The little tracks the hot and cold water flow from look like they would be quite condusive to mold. Maybe if they were enclosed in something clear, rather than just open. It also doesn’t seem to have much pressure behind the water. But it’s pretty. I hope they make it workable.

Go into any home, bathroom, hotel, restaraunt, etc. and every faucet will be different. Some have levers that go up/down or left/right or rock side-to-side. Some have knobs that turn–sometimes left and sometimes right. Some have little sticks that rotate around in all kinds of directions like a joystick (my favorite). Some have a sensor that is supposed to turn the faucet on for you and “bless you” with the correct temperature before turning of prematurely. I’ve even seen some that look like an old-fashioned pump.

So, a faucet that is controlled by a magnetic ball…why the hell not?!?! I hope I start seeing these everywhere. I’ll will help me build up my collection of “steelies” for my next marble tournament.

It is kind of purdy though…

The best damn thing I’ve ever seen.
I’ll take two of those please.

ok so the ball control might be iffy, but i love the 2 channel idea thats just sexy looking and cool at the same time

Very cool!

I’m not sure I need that much entertainment when I’m washing my hands, but I’d definitely like to see one up close. I wonder how much they cost.

Eh. Someone needs to read Donald Norman.

It’s neat, but why are we still making faucets that combine temperature and flow into the same control?

Looks pretty cool …. How much do they cost ??

So what’s keeping the ball from rolling around and going down the drain? Nice imagination but not very practical. The rendered photographs could have been so much better. It should show the sink in a more modern environment rather than your cottage bathroom.

For the public washroom scenario - how long until someone steals the ball?

Wow good idea !

I believe this is an amazing design.

How much do you think this product will cost, where i can buy this product, and where I can look into more in this type of product?

Thanks,

is there anyome to answer questions? i will be thankfull

its plausable by would the electromagnetic waves alter the waterflow?

Also mabye the ball could be attached via a string? oh perhasps if it falls out an alarm would activate?

the channels could be tubes that are highly pressurized to prevent mold growth….or you could put a waterloving moss thre… for fun of course ;D

a solution to a problem that does not exist.

sensors already exist that can quickly assurtain the temperature of water. They are called your hands…

Does it come with a bag full of spare metal balls when they get lost? any child or elderly person would be lost here i think

So you need and electrician and a plumber to fit it.

id also be concerned about bacterial adhesion if i was to brush me teeth here.

How does the water remain lit along its curved traejectory into the plug hole? now that is clever!!!

Yes it has some disadvantages, but it certainly changes how we interact with faucets. We have written about this change and what the pro’s and con’s are.

I am so in LOVE with this-what a faboo idea as I am a yacht designer-I would love to get more info-were to buy..etc.please let me know..many thanks .

Could you let me know how much this is and if you post to Aust

where do we find this sink

Someone like it?
It is under construction now, if any wholesaler is interested in it, just contact me freely.

To turn off the water, drop the ball down the sink and have it end up back in the center… <greatest idea ever
