akio hayakawa conceives a bottle-shaped faucet design
akio hayakawa has conceived a faucet that works similar to the way in which one would pour water from a bottle, from which it also takes its shape. the intuitive design stands vertical (like a bottle on a table) when not in use, and as one tilts it increasing its horizontal level they are also increasing the quantity of water that flows outwards. the reverse motion shuts the tap off.
