Taps, Sushi Bar, Borough, London
The Most Stupid taps in the world.
1. Separate hot & cold taps
Thats stupid because cold will be too cold. Hot will be too hot (sometimes way too hot). So you switch hot to cold, burn yourself. Why do people still put separate taps in in the UK so frequently????
2. They imply different use
These taps are designed to look like the excellently designed all in one tap where you can control flow & speed with one hand up/down, left/right. So - your instinct is to pull them up - which will actually break them.
3. You cant move between hot & cold with one hand
Mixer taps with separate hot and cold taps stop you adjusting temperature with one hand rapidly to get the perfect temperature - you adjust one, then the other, then the other. Separate taps take that stupidity one step further - you can’t get the right temperature here unless you mix the water in the bowl!
4. No hot/cold labelling
Which is hot - which is cold? I had to burn myself to find out.
This is seriously some of the dumbest design Ive ever seen in my life.
