Karbon faucet

Kohler

From $990

Taps aren't usually a crowd-puller at the fairs, but Kohler's new Karbon faucet drew floods of people to its stand at last year's ICFF. The American company took inspiration from lighting and construction equipment to create a tubular tap with three hinges. The result is a strangely beautiful, if robotic, creation that you can pull, push and direct your flow wherever you wish. Made from a superior strength lightweight carbon fibre, the tap also comes with a separate joystick valve operator, which makes the old-fashioned screw tap seem particularly archaic.
