the design is a formal expression of the continuous flow of liquid – merging tap spout, body and handle in a seamless trajectory of curvilinear geometries. featuring triflow’s patented three-way technology; the filtered drinking water is delivered through a dedicated waterway thereby isolating it from the hot and cold water streams – controlled by the tap’s discreet handle. whilst a touch-sensitive electronic button activates the filtered water.
