The Faucet Lamp pours light instead of water. This luminous object preserves the curved silhouette of a faucet employing it for a different purpose. Functioning as a lamp further allows the faucet-shaped item to be displaced from its usual location in the kitchen or bathroom to more formal or shared rooms in the home. This lamp comes from a series of explorations where existing forms can be employed for different functions, aiming to create new conversations around everyday objects.

The faucet lamp can be activated with a minimal touch on any part of its body, mimicking the sanitary features of a touch-control faucet. This feature also fosters a more intimate and unexpected interaction with the object. The cable coming out of the lamp's base reveals its electrical functionality, even when the light is turned off. The outer shell is entirely made of aluminum and is available in different finishes; metallic and color powder coated. This allows the user to choose between different options, bringing it closer or further from the appearance of a real faucet.

The Faucet Lamp challenges conventional norms in consumer product design by seamlessly merging the form and function of two distinct objects, resulting in a hybrid with fresh practical and aesthetic attributes. Departing from the often consumer-centric approaches to product design, this project was born out of a space dedicated to uninhibited exploration and experimentation.

Embracing observation and fascination as catalysts for creativity, the Faucet Lamp encourages a renewed perspective on everyday objects, recognizing them as vessels of ideas. Rather than starting with a blank canvas, the design process took existing objects as its foundation. These objects become the starting point for generating new ideas and seizing untapped opportunities.

This design methodology resonates with the human cognitive process of imagination, where existing ideas are recombined to generate new ones. The reservoir of images in our brains encompasses everything we've observed, and our brains combine them to be resourceful and conceive new ones.

With the Faucet Lamp, the transformation is apparent in the redesigned function of the original object. The orifice, initially designed for dispensing water, now functions as a source of illumination, emitting light instead. Beyond incorporating the visual characteristics of a faucet, the interaction has also been integrated. This lamp can be activated by a touch on any part of its body, mimicking the sanitary touch-control feature found in faucets. The "magic" happens through an integrated touch sensor within the lamp's structure.

Merging objects can lead to innovative products that go beyond the ordinary, introducing new forms and functionalities.
