About The Entry

Source is a groundbreaking overhead kitchen faucet, a transformative reimagining of aesthetic appeal and water usage experience in kitchen spaces. It breaks free from rigid attachment of conventional faucets to countertops or walls, hovering beneath kitchen cabinets like a pendant light. This design elevates a functional fixture into an exquisite spatial sculpture, infusing the kitchen with an airy and elegant modern flair.

Source draws inspiration from natural conception of water dripping down mountain springs. The base formed by stacked quartz stone stands like rock formations shaped by time, exuding a poised aura with raw, organic textures, while the spiral body stretching from top to bottom interprets the rhythmic flow of water. The crystal variant leverages premium light transmission to amplify the sense of clarity found in mountain springs cascading down; the stainless steel variant features a sculptural artistic finish, a double universal joint structure, separate hot and cold water controls and multi-flow modes, striking a dynamic balance between functionality and aesthetics.

Source addresses the persistent challenges of conventional faucets—hard-to-clean bases, easy dirt buildup and potential long-term leakage—through its suspended water supply design, restoring the countertops and walls to a pristine, unmarred state. It harnesses gravitational potential energy to optimize water flow, preserving the same cleaning performance as countertop faucets even with reduced water output, thus minimizing water waste to the greatest extent and unifying thoughtful design with sustainable practice.

Additionally, Source delivers adaptability and expandability. It features a mounting solution for flexible compatibility, seamlessly integrating into both newly built kitchens and renovation projects alike. It also adopts a modular design, allowing users to add modules such as soap dispensers or water purifiers to the basic water output function as needed to meet the diverse demands of kitchens. In terms of interaction, it features a sophisticated structure that positions the control handle closer to users, delivering an natural experience. The crystal variant incorporates a flexible connection and crystal joints, and the stainless steel variant enables flexible adjustment of the water outlet position via a double universal joint structure, thereby achieving a dynamic balance between functionality and aesthetics.
