Purity in a Faucet

Posted on by

From the designer who made even a walker look kinda sexy, the Essence faucet has a robust yet refined aesthetic that puts chrome spouts to shame. The minimalistic design features a gentle curve of the neck, emerging from the floor or wall without any base or superfluous elements. The touch-sensitive switch makes it possible to increase or decrease flow with a simple tap while the outer rings handles temperature which is indicated by a hidden LED light.

One Sexy Walker!

I love how designer Manuel Hess put it… “a walker doesn’t have to look like a disease itself.” Harsh but SO true! His proposal for a walker, called PROSUS, ditches the stigma and is instead designed with dignity in mind.

It takes inspiration from both sport bikes and modern furniture, applying the same sleek design language to the walker. Unlike “medical” looking walkers, this one totally looks Professor X worthy!

Other innovative features make it functionally advanced as well. Built-in LED safety lights offer enhanced visibility to other pedestrians or even motorists. The upright position of the handles ensures better body posture. Brake controls are conveniently located in the handles and only require a twist instead of a strong grip pull for greater safety.
