Triflow Tap by Zaha Hadid

Monday, December 27, 2010

The new Triflow tap designed by Zaha Hadid for British manufacturer Triflow takes inspiration from the fluid movement of water. The design is a formal expression of the continuous flow of liquid – merging the spout, body and handle of the tap in a seamless trajectory of curvilinear geometries. The touch sensitive controls can deliver filtered or unfiltered hot and cold water via two channels in the faucet neck.

Already unique to the three-way Triflow tap is the technology woven effortlessly into its design – namely the extra internal tube that allows treated drinking water to be delivered through a separate waterway, avoiding contamination from the hot and cold tap water. While hot and cold water are controlled by the tap’s discrete handle, the drinking water element is activated by a touch sensitive electric button indicated by the Triflow logo. A green halo light ignites when operational, turning to red when the water treatment cartridge needs replacing and flashing red when the battery is running low. A battery provides back-up in case of mains electricity failure.

Hidden within the Zaha Hadid design is a highly sophisticated manufacturing process that has never before been used for a tap. The revolutionary shape employs the latest methods of production and a unique ceramic coring process, resulting in a tap that is as much a piece of art as it is a kitchen or bathroom appliance.
