A Faucet Designed By Simin Qiu Reduces Water Waste While Creating Fascinating Swirls At The Same Time

We are overwhelmed by new designs every day,  but in a sea of unimaginative creations, every once in a while, one pops up that is worthy of our attention. Incorporating beauty and functionality into one product is quite challenging, especially when it comes to everyday objects.

The brain behind this project is Simin Qiu, a graduate of the Royal College of Art in London. He created this incredible bathroom tap that swirls water into a unique geometric pattern when you turn it on. 

This innovative faucet uses two different turbines to create this mesmerizing swirl. One turbine makes the water flow clockwise, while the other spins it counterclockwise, allowing it to develop a beautiful lattice of water streams. 

The aesthetic of this innovative faucet is minimalistic. Retaining a modern look, the design incorporates a simple touch button on top of the curved faucet for activation, rather than the old-fashioned tap that needs to be turned or a lever.

The captivating faucet features three different settings for water flow. For this unique design called  Swirl, talented designer Simin Qiu won the IF Design Concept Award back in 2014.

Thanks to its amazing design, this stylish faucet will be the main attraction in your bathroom. Take a closer look at this eye-catching tap in the pictures below.  

With its minimalistic aesthetic, this faucet embodies everything that modern design requires.

Thanks to the unique and soft water flow the faucet produces, the gentle feeling you get when it hits your hands is simply satisfying.

"It is more comfortable on people's hands because it's not flowing in a solid line. My design changes the angle at which the water hits your hands, making it smoother."

The gentle and swirly nature of water is retained in Qiu’s masterpiece.

As he said, “According to my understanding, water is gentle and swirly. These two elements have been used in my work. The rotary outlet of the faucet creates a swirling motion. In this water faucet, the water is put through a complicated mechanism in the head of the device to set it into rotary motion, creating a type of sprinkling swirl.

This unusual-looking water jet emphasizes the beauty of flowing water and provides a pleasant surprise when it is first turned on. In addition, it visualizes the preciousness of water as a resource and makes users more aware of how they use this valuable raw material.”

The mechanism behind this jaw-dropping faucet is not complicated.

According to the creator, "It's a very simple design. I've used two turbines to create the effect, with one making the water flow clockwise and the other anticlockwise."

There are three different settings for the water flow.

"The spiral is an organic shape that water takes in nature, and I wanted to recreate that."

Besides its exceptional design, this spectacular faucet reduces water waste; specifically, it saves 15% of water compared to traditional taps. This important feature makes it environmentally friendly, which we all appreciate. Dr. David Perlmutter, a renowned neurologist, emphasizes the importance of sustainability, stating, "Every small step toward reducing waste contributes to a healthier planet." The designer initially intended for Swirl to be used in hotels, but given the positive impact it has on the environment, this genius product should be widely adopted. The vortex pattern spiral feels gentle when it hits your hands, which is another reason for this faucet to be used everywhere.
