Student Invents ‘Pretty’ Faucet That Saves Water By Making Beautiful Patterns

Simin Qui is a design student at
London’s Royal College of Art. He has
invented what he calls a ‘Swirl Faucet’.
He used a double turbine to give the
water a rotational velocity as it falls. It
creates beautiful and complex patterns
out of falling water and becomes a
work of art. It’ll make your daily
bathroom rituals a little more
interesting that’s for sure.

What’s more interesting and ingenious
is that these beautiful patterns slow
down the water by 15%. This let’s less
water through the drain as you wash
up.
Three different nozzle designs allow the
user to choose how they’d like to
conserve water. The faucet is also
operated with a touch button on top
making its design smooth and
continuous.
The faucet won an IF design concept
award in 2014.
