1ℓimit faucet looks more like an elegant test tube inverted on top of a tap. The glass tube holds exactly one liter of water, sufficient for a quick handwash. The theory being that we waste almost six liters of water and use only one, while washing hands. Once the stored one-liter is used up, you have to turn-off the tap till the next one liter fills up the tube. A cumbersome rationing process that will hopefully drive home the point of conservation!

The Penguin faucet series is designed to conserve water and encourage eco-responsible living. The Penguin faucet, which bears a distinct resemblance to the body of a penguin, is low flow and dispenses water at a rate of 1.5 GPM. Not only does this tug at my heart strings for all things penguin inspired, it also happens to look pretty good although I feel like something in the series should have resembled a penguin egg.

The River Flowing System doesn’t give you the chance of wondering if you have it set to flow or tap. The design is such that the showerhead is placed above a basin-esque bowl and the water flows down as a stream. Water pressure and temperature settings are controlled via a centralized knob and showerhead is held into place via magnets. So basically you just turn the shower on and the water cascades down the bowl-lip, giving you the best of both the worlds!

This is a lovely basin faucet that lets you know exactly what’s going on with your hot and cold water. How? Take a peek! It’s not one of those newfangled digital display sorts of things, nay, this is just fabulous sculptural design. Across the head of the faucet you’ll see two paths, one for cold water, and one for hot. As they meet at the tip of the spout, a magical combination brings you warm.

This lovely design comes equipped with a user-friendly mounting system called ISMAFIX that allows basically anyone the ability and safe environment they need to install the faucet all by their self! All you’ve got to do is insert the exposed brass part in the faucet hole, put the seals around, turn the blue ISMAFIX tool until to secure the faucet in place, and WOW! You’ve just done it yourself.

This faucet is (or will be?) available at a price that “won’t break the bank” through DIY retailers – fun!

Quarantacinque means forty-five in Italian and it also happens to be the name of this particular washbasin faucet.

That's right, the Quarantacinque does it all and it will certainly surprise your guests, at least when it comes to their first hand washing experience using it. The Quarantacinque is definitely the modern faucet you were interested in bringing to your modern bathroom and Ottone Meloda, its creator, has other interesting and very similar bathroom ideas so check them all out before choosing this Quarantacinque as your next bathroom washbasin faucet.

Instead of boring faucets that still require manual handling you could simply go for the Feel Free faucet control system from Kaesch which will add a welcome technology touch to your bathroom and you'll never have to touch another faucet again. The Feel Free faucet control system will let you control the water flow and its temperature by simply touching a few buttons on a panel linked to the faucet. The Feel Free control system will fit well with regular basins or sinks but also with showers, bathtubs and toilets. The interface is pretty intuitive and you can't really go wrong with such a design. The only objection here is that those people that are visually challenged will have a harder time actually using the controls but hopefully Kaesch will find a solution to this problem too.

The Niagara faucet in the pictures below is not just a simple faucet, but you guessed that already, didn't you? This particular design comes with a tint of magic, as the faucet will always tell you how hot the water running though the faucet is. The Niagara faucet uses economic LED lights that illuminate the transparent design according to the temperature of the water: red means hot, blue means cold while violet means warm; so I guess it's pretty clear what color you're going to favor. The Niagara transparent faucet is a great addition to your modern bathroom design that will certainly impress your guests every time they're going to turn on the water. Are you already thinking about getting it? Via Marti 1921

It's not every day that we get to see a faucet that also acts as a light source. I know what you're thinking; electricity plus water can't be good, right? Well in this case, the Sun Lamp Faucet is a lot safer than it sounds. The faucet system incorporates 30 LED lights, which are ready to bring some light to your sink while you're washing the dishes. The light only comes on when required as there's a special switch for it, so don't worry about your electricity bill either. And considering the Sun Lamp Faucet comes with LED lighting, you're actually going to save some energy! The Sun Lamp Faucet is perfect for those kitchen spaces that could use another light source, not to mention that its overall design is more than pleasing to the eye and would fit with most modern kitchens out there.

We have covered plenty of faucet alternatives for your modern bathroom, some very high-tech and some very simple but we have more interesting designs to show you. The Shelf Life faucet in the images below has a unique form that makes it resemble an actual water spring emerging from a rock. The giant rock, in this case, is the bathroom, or better said a shelf of your bathroom, but the Shelf Life is definitely a faucet solution very pleasant to the eye. No wonder it won the Bathroom Innovation Award 2010 in the professional category! The Shelf Life project is just a concept for now but it could soon be available in a store near you.
