Faucet
Chloë Coulson
Faucet takes inspiration from the energy of water. The helical facet pattern plays with refracted light, through which the transparent glass creates a kinetic cross-hatched effect, reminiscent of water gushing from a tap. The etched London On Tap logo cascades down the front of the carafe.
Clear glass is used to reflect the purity of tap water and to emphasise the play of light refracting from the moulded surfaces. The chamfered top allows for easy rear refilling from a tap whilst the narrowed waist and faceted surfaces allow the carafe to be easily gripped in one hand enabling effortless pouring from the spout. The tall and slim form is elegant and practical and would fit easily into a refrigerator door pocket.
All of these attributes aim to embody the dynamic spirit of flowing water and the London On Tap initiative in an elegant and functional way.
Chloë completed her Product & Furniture Designs studies at Ravensbourne.
Working on a variety of live briefs with clients such as Habitat, Hitch Mylius, Motorola UK and MK Electric gave her a taste for the professional world of design. She was shortlisted by Habitat to pursue the project and by Motorola UK for a work placement.
Since late 2007 Chloe has been freelancing at Twocreate and Goodstuff agencies.
