Coming from the house of Köhler Design (a German group of designers), Fluid is a flexible faucet that doubles as a drinking fountain and lets you drink water without the need of wetting your hands with a simple flip. The Fluid not just boasts a sleek design, but the faucet brags highly functional usage as well. Featuring a knob on the side that you may twist to adjust the water temperature, the glossy faucet stops the flow of water by regulating the nose to a level position, while the flow of water can be controlled by moving the nose up or down. The Fluid with its smooth and sexy design promises a new cool look to the contemporary apartments, residential as well as commercial or even public places.
