David Benatan, a Tel Aviv-based designer, created lamps made from pipes and other similar hardware. Check out the Kozo lamp, which features washers, nuts, pipes and faucets. And yes, you turn the lamp on and off using the faucet. Pretty damn cool if you ask me. Too bad they’re not readily available at the local IKEA or I’d run and pick one up for my desk.
Tap on, tap off. That’s exactly what you’ll be able to do when you get a Sanindusa Spot electronic bathroom faucet installed in your home. As you can see, there’s a sleek button on top that you can tap for water. H2O will flow out into your washbasin in a clean, controlled manner, which is supposed to help conserve water and reduce costs.
Unlike most faucets in public bathrooms, you can tap twice to turn the stream of water off instead of waiting for it. This makes sense considering that the Spot is made for home use. Just don’t try to use it as a butt plug. Let it flow instead.
Bachelors need a bar at their pad. What better way to impress your guests and lady friends than with a Super SideBar? Go to any bar in the city- you don’t choose your drinks, they’re chosen for you. It’s all about choice and personal preference these days and with the SideBar, five of your favorite thirst-depriving drinks can be tucked away underneath your counter top. With the touch of a button the dispenser on the counter will have your guests selectively choosing which among your favorites they’ll be forced to settle with.
It starts at $499 and comes assembled but the installation part is all up to you. Just make sure you don’t find yourself making out with the “booze-faucet” in front of the ladies because both of you will regret it.
Whether you live in an area where there’s been a drought or you just want to be more efficient with your utilities, iSave, a runner-up in the Metropolis Magazine Next Generation awards, is made to help you conserve water. iSave easily attaches to your sink or other faucet head and displays on a simple, yet efficient digital screen, the amount of water that faucet has used.
Another feature that will thrill members of the Green party is that the iSave doesn’t even need any other source of power to keep it running. It’s energy is generated purely through a turbine which is active as the water puts pressure on it. — Andrew Dobrow

Japanese innovation never ceases to amaze us. Especially when the ideas are the kind that make you think to yourself, “Now why the hell didn’t I think of that?”. The All in one Sink featured in this video is one of those things.
The sink has a motion detector for both the soap dispenser and the faucet, but also fits the hand blow dryer right into the damn sink. Motion detection and all. We just hope that those electronics are properly hidden from the water exposure.
So come on you damn American engineers. Make us some all in one sinks. We got stuff to do and gadgets to try! — Andrew Dobrow

Sick of having crystal clear water running out of your faucet like normal people, then you should upgrade to the Blue LED Faucet Light. This faucet light attaches to the end of the faucet, automatically turning on when water runs through it and turning off when the water stops flowing. The water then flows out of the faucet an eerie crystal blue, which could freak someone out if they weren’t expecting it. Connect to almost any faucet in the US (they don’t recommend faucets out of the US) with the universal adaptor included with the device. Get hours of enjoyment and sheer amazement from the faucet with its long lasting batteries, as well a set of spare batteries; now your faucet can be the center of attention at your next party. For just $15, the Blue LED Faucet Light is a cool little attachment if having strange looking water floats your boat. However, you probably shouldn’t put it in your bathroom, just in case you do get a girl to come over; you wouldn’t want her leaving because your faucet freaked her out.
