Flow For Thought
A hand-washing system highlighting water use and beauty.
Flow For Thought is a family of objects composed of a sink, faucet, foot pump, and drain that work together and on their own to emphasize the value of water and prompt users to reflect on their usage.

I wanted to encourage us to think more about our water use in a way that felt inspiring and beautiful rather than instructive or negative way. I focused on the context of hand washing as it is a tactile, physical point of interaction with water.
The user stands on the foot pedal in order to turn on the faucet, increasing the tactility of the experience.
