Mixer tap collection with intuitive user interface
Inspire V2.0 Collection
The common design typology of electronic or automatic washbasin taps is often associated with the simple utility of public washrooms. The mere omission of the control elements that had become superfluous through automation led to an overly utilitarian form for many products on the market - perfectly acceptable for public areas, but not at all welcome in private bathrooms. It was therefore time to make the electronic tap attractive for the private bathroom too.
The protruding position of the interface emphasises the minimal electronic control element and puts it on a par with physical mixer levers. This new formal interpretation makes us forget the negative associations with this product category and gives the new technology its independent, elegant form.

Touch reel interface for a better user experience
Both the water pressure and the temperature can be controlled via the Inspire 2.0's rotary push disc. This control unit with feedback light display is very compact compared to taps with a physical mixing cartridge. This is used in the design of the Inspire 2.0 to move the selector disc from its central position opposite the mixer shaft axis. The actual mixing unit of this electronic mixer is located under the washbasin and can be easily accessed for maintenance or replacement.
