End number of times I’ve had to ground my children for carelessly leaving the bath water running, leading to an overspill. Not only is it cardinal wastage of a precious resource but also the additional work of mopping up. A simple gadget like Water&time promises you no more wastage. This intuitive valve screws onto any regular faucet and turns off the water automatically after its timer goes off. You simply need to figure out how long will it take for you to fill up the tub. I think its suitable for the kitchen sink as well, don’t you?

Manufactured by Italian company Ottone Meloda, the Quarantacinque is dominated by clean punctilious lines, scuplturalistic silhouettes and modern streamlined aesthetics. The Quarantacinque is edgy and the 45-degree angle is what makes it unique and different from the rest of the clique.

Save water, save the Planet. No I have not joined Greenpeace but there is absolute truth in this noble belief and designer Jasper Hou also adheres to it. His "No More No Less," Faucet is a brilliant piece of work as it strives to cut down water wastage and promoting water conservation. "No More No Less," as the name indicates is a quantitative tap that has been equipped with a pre-control. N.M.N.L. that pre-measures the water flow in different settings. The on board LCD screen which is powered by the kinetic energy of flowing water gives information regarding control, temperature etc. There is also a nifty little 30 second meter which turns of the faucet after 30 seconds.

Sometimes there is beauty in simplicity and the Balena Bathroom Faucet communicates this design philosophy beautifully. Designer Wen-Yo Lu opts for materials like metal and tinted green transparent plastic to draw attention to the water valves and how they work in tandem with each other. The Balena also has a very intergalactic vibe to it but maybe thats just the sci-fi nut in me talking.
