Running Tap - First live project undertaken, Orbit is designed for the handbasin & strips back a tap to the fundamental movements of the ceramic cartridge within.
Twist the body for temperature control, slide the ceramic spout for flow. It is designed to be cheaper to manufacture due to the low brass content.

Ideal standard- Orbit
The main aim of this tap was to strip its function right back to the fundamental movements of the ceramic cartridge within. The temperature was controlled by twisting the entire body of the tap, and the flow adjusted by sliding the ceramic spout back and forth.
It was designed to shake up the current tap market, being bold and different, yet organic and intuitive. The body of the tap was also designed to reduce the brass content currently in taps, making it cheaper for the customer and reducing the i
This project was selected to be shown to the R&D department at Ideal standards headquarters.
