Oh, great. Now we can never look at another sink again without wishing the water flowing out of it was falling in a lattice-like pattern. A winner of a 2014 IF Concept Design Award, the Swirl Sink, designed by Simin Qiu, takes the idea of sink sprayer and makes it more beautiful, if less helpful. Instead of turning a handle, you simply push a button to start the water flow.

Not exactly great for loosening stuck-on food, but wed love to have one in the bathroom, if it ever gets out of the concept phase.

I would rather have it in a tub where I could watch it as I filled with more warm water.

Connect a colored LED to the center of the swirl mixer and turn off the lights.

Just think of the math involved in that flow pattern.
