For all of you who love ornate and out of the ordinary looking fixtures to give that unique edge to your place-here is one for you. The design of ‘stone in the creek’ has been inspired by nature. Stone is a common element that is found in creeks. Stone and water compliment each other and always co-exist. Stone is hard and strong while water is soft and transformable. Stone’s strong and fixed nature acts as a counterbalance to the softness and fluidity of water. Stone and water are natural partners.

Without a large rock or stone blocked in the creek, the water stream move in smooth and regular paths. However, when some rocks or stones are in the creek, the water moves along the side of rocks. The stream becomes irregular and weak.

This wall basin fixture works in pretty much the same way. Here, the Dish of the tap represents the creek. When the stone is pulled up, the straight flow mode is activated where the water is released fast, straight and in high volume. This acts like a normal tap. When the stone is pushed down, the water flow is blocked and it spreads along the side of stone. This is the side flow mode which spills water over 360 degrees. The water thus flows over larger surface area but is released in less volume. This mode is ideal for rinsing large objects or washing hands.

The stone acts as an “on and off” function. When the stone turns anti-clockwise, it releases water. The dish acts as the water temperature control. When turned anti-clockwise, hot water is released.

The stone in the creek has been designed by Wong Bun. Not only does it look good, it helps to save water. So do your bit and install the fixture. However, you need to be true to using the mode actually required.
