While the Abisko Washbasin does a fine job of encouraging water conservation, I’d one-up this design and go a bit further. You see, the Abisko Washbasin uses an angled design which allows wasted water to flow its way down through a drainage grill installed in the floor.

If you really wanted to encourage people to conserve water, you have to appeal to their common traits, such as laziness. Remove the drain grill and allow the wasted water to just splash all over the damn floor. I guarantee that people would waste a lot less water just because they are too lazy to clean up their wasted mess.

Here’s an idea that really benefits you as a homeowner. A removable kitchen sink that can be taken outside and the water drained over your garden. Genius. And the nutrients the plants will get from food waste will benefit your crop for sure. The design comes from Hughie of Australia and believe it or not, it’s not a concept! You can net one of these bad boys for a measly $25 and it comes in an assortment of different colors. Tres chic!

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.

Let’s face it, your face is dirtier than a Denny’s kitchen. You shouldn’t have to worry about cramping your back while hunched over your normal everyday bathroom sink. Hidra, creators of the Miss Washbasin, were thinking of your crater filled cheeks when they designed the Miss. The concave form of the sink allows for comfortable leaning against the front of the sink so you can scrub vigorously away at the layers of grease encroaching on your demeanor.

Most of us love to sing in the shower when no one’s around. I tend to take it one step further and sing while I’m shaving and taking a piss, but hey, if no one’s listening, might as well! Italian design company WET has created the X-Light Surround Basin with people like yours truly in mind.

At 142 x 38 cm, this transparent sink features dual basins and an integrated sound system. You can easily hook up an iPod or CD player to the built-in speaker system for instant Huey Lewis & The News, which beats listening to that cardboard music box you built last week. It’s available now, so be prepared to shell out the big bucks for such an elegant piece.
