Imagine seeing the following sink in the bathroom of one of your friends. Looking at it from the distance you might not even recognize exactly what it is, and once you realize it’s a bathroom basin you’ll wonder where the water is supposed to go and how you’re going to wash your hands. But once you solve the puzzle you’ll find this Sonobath Lotus basin very interesting. The Lotus, as suggested by the name, is inspired by flower petals, and you can order the same design from Sonobath. The Lotus is available in pure white, blizzard, desert limestone, eggshell and absolute noir, so it will surely match your modern bathroom. What will you choose? Via Sonobath

This particular design comes with a tint of magic, as the faucet will always tell you how hot the water running though the faucet is. The Niagara faucet uses economic LED lights that illuminate the transparent design according to the temperature of the water: red means hot, blue means cold while violet means warm; so I guess it’s pretty clear what color you’re going to favor.

I was always fascinated by chrome finished modern bathroom fixtures and how pure, ellegant
and timeless they look. But after seeing the Faraway bath collection created by Zucchetti Kos, it was pure seduction for me… Ludovica+Roberto Palomba designers have brought the greatest renovation in the iconography of contemporary bathrooms. They had the vision:
“The bathroom as a place for sensory experience, a real or virtual journey to self-discovery”.

Shown above is a wall mounted lavatory chrome faucet from the Faraway Collection by Zucchetti Kos.

We have covered plenty of faucet alternatives for your modern bathroom, some very high-tech and some very simple but we have more interesting designs to show you. The Shelf Life faucet in the images below has a unique form that makes it resemble an actual water spring emerging from a rock. The giant rock, in this case, is the bathroom, or better said a shelf of your bathroom, but the Shelf Life is definitely a faucet solution very pleasant to the eye. No wonder it won the Bathroom Innovation Award 2010 in the professional category! The Shelf Life project is just a concept for now but it could soon be available in a store near you.
