nendo: faucet stand for elecom


'faucet' stand for tablets and smartphones, designed by nendo for elecom


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,
the stands take the appearance of an old-fashioned faucet from which water is streaming
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!
oliver   08.03.11
wtf?
tikari   08.03.11
i expect more from nendo....
i could find something like this in a one-euro bazar...

why?
meagain   08.03.11
.... no !!!
Bull   08.03.11
I find it quite amusing actually.
Donna   08.03.11
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?
beegeepee   08.03.11
gadget for gadget!??
kabubi   08.03.11
Unnecessary and impractical.
Dario   08.03.11
What is the significance of this? I don't get it
A   08.03.11
... why?
Arielle   08.03.11
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
Mort D'Urban   08.03.11
I wouldn't use it for my ipad, i might just put it on my desk, it is pretty cool!
Diego Ascencio   08.03.11
wtf they've put the devices in the wrong side... pfff
water should flow FROM the ipad, here the tap is reversed.
jess   08.04.11
this? from Nendo? I used to like them...
M. Frank   08.04.11
Would make a good tap display!
Weevy   08.04.11
probably they need money.
AL   08.04.11
W€LL DON€ N€NDO!!!
D€$IGN???   08.05.11
very surreal, totally impractical but fun all the same. Architects in London
Alex Mungo   08.05.11
I wonder what's the design brief ? Expected more from nendo.
blai   08.06.11
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...
android   08.07.11
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!
