Smooth Faucet Basin Mixer

Smooth Faucet Basin Mixer is an innovative bathroom fixture that exemplifies minimalist design principles through its pure cylindrical form, representing a significant departure from traditional faucet aesthetics. This sophisticated sanitary ware product, which earned the Silver A' Design Award in the Bathroom Furniture and Sanitary Ware Design category, embodies a harmonious fusion of form and function through its innovative concealed handle mechanism. The design concept draws inspiration from the natural flow of water, manifesting as a seamless extension of the plumbing system it connects to. Crafted through precision foundry processes, machination, and polishing of brass material, the mixer features a lustrous chrome finish that enhances its contemporary appeal. The fixture's distinctive characteristic lies in its transformative functionality - while maintaining a clean, uninterrupted cylindrical profile when inactive, it ingeniously bifurcates during operation, with the lower portion serving as the water spout while the upper section functions as a control handle for flow and temperature adjustment. With dimensions of 32mm in width, 100mm in depth, and 120mm in height, this compact design efficiently addresses the technical challenge of integrating complex mechanical components within a minimalist form factor. The development process, which spanned from September 2008 to September 2009, culminated in a product that successfully challenges conventional manufacturing paradigms while maintaining exceptional functionality and aesthetic appeal.
