the fifth series designed by japanese studio nendo for elecom, 'jaguchi' ('faucet', or 'tap') is a line of stands
for smartphones and tablets. composed of polycarbonate plastic with ABS faucet parts,

into a small puddle. the pieces are produced in clear, blue, black, and white.

when you have a name in the industry, any idea in your sketchbook might get realized. you have to be aware of that responsibility!
wtf?
i expect more from nendo….
i could find something like this in a one-euro bazar…
cosaaaaaaa? oNendo!
what a waste of energy and materials!

trite
why?
…. no !!!
I find it quite amusing actually.
Is there really so much need to have a stand for a smart phone? These are HAND HELD devices. Why waste the energy and resources on novelty?
gadget for gadget!??
Unnecessary and impractical.
What is the significance of this? I don’t get it
… why?
If you have to ask “why,” you don’t get it. This is wit, or surrealism — the amusingly irrational peaking through the rectilinear, cause-and-effect, right-or-wrong world. That said, this is pretty silly
I wouldn’t use it for my ipad, i might just put it on my desk, it is pretty cool!
wtf they’ve put the devices in the wrong side… pfff
water should flow FROM the ipad, here the tap is reversed.
this? from Nendo? I used to like them…
Would make a good tap display!
probably they need money.
W€LL DON€ N€NDO!!!
very surreal, totally impractical but fun all the same. [url=http://www.casaforma.co.uk]Architects in London[/url]
I wonder what’s the design brief ? Expected more from nendo.
it’s sad that a great resoure as designboom gives space to such a stupid project, just because it’s done by a known name…
What boring people here! You are wasting good air by shouting and being negative!
I find this hilarious and stylish! Where do I buy one? One poster is correct, though, I’d rather have the faucet coming FROM the device!
