faucet + vase
Believe it or not, this vase is also a working faucet! It was designed by David Vercelli for the Italian bathroom company Hego Waterdesign. I love the look and the thought behind this faucet, but I have to agree with Apartment Therapy when they say that they aren't sure they'd be too keen to drink from it. Still, what a neat design!

Hmm.... I would love to have one of these in my house! Who knows, maybe the flowers are fake??

it looks like an optical illusion!

Very cool! but um... yeah stagnant water could make a household insect to think it had reproductive hope in that environment. I'm sure there's a way to better that design while keeping the concept though. :-)

I have been to hotels (Kelowna, B.C.) with similar faucets & I believe the design collides with the actual reality of, 1) dust; 2) non-appealing discoloration of the accessible water; and lastly 3) it leaks on the bottom because of the poor overall quality.
I hate to be the Debby downer of you post, but it looks fabulous in your photos!

wow! this is the most amazing faucet I have ever seen! Just today I was at a friend's house and she has one that looks like an old fashion well pump. A bit similar but this is very cool!

I love this, and how smart it is!
Except orchids would mosdef die this way with just straight water, but other freshcut flowers would be so cool.
