It's been a long time since the first European faucets struck me with their ugliness and then sold me with their functionality. Seldom am I brought to my knees over a faucet design. But the new TriFlow Concepts kitchen and bathroom faucet designs by Zaha Hadid do just that.
I don't know what these babies cost, but they truly look like a work of art for your island. My compliments also to the photographer who took these shots. They make my mouth water.

As described by Zaha Hadid:
“Our starting point was a series of formal studies on the conceptual terms of ‘fluidity’ and ‘seamlessness’ as we wanted to generate the fluid geometries of water in motion. By applying advanced 3D software to our experiments into the viscosity of liquids, we were able to explore complex forms and their productivity for domestic environments. A major benefit of this design language is that you can create something that not only appears continuous, but also blends seamlessly with the ergonomic needs of a tap.”
Featuring Triflow’s exclusive, patented three-way technology, the filtered drinking water is delivered through a dedicated waterway thereby isolating it from the hot and cold water streams. The latter are controlled by the tap’s discreet handle, while a touch-sensitive electronic button activates the filtered water. A green halo light glows when operational, turning to red when the water treatment cartridge requires replacement.
