Fountain Tab Faucet

The design of the water tab counters the daily inconvenience of having to use a cup or your hands in order to gargle after brushing your teeth. This is both unhygienic and uncomfortable, because we carry germs on our hands and the cup is unlikely to be cleaned properly every day. In response to this, South Korean designers Jinsun Park and Byungmin Woo have developed a new tap which changes the direction of water flow from downwards to upwards with the push of a button on the sink. In this way, the water can flow directly into the mouth, and we can start the day in a more hygienic and convenient way.
