Tap for Saneux.

This short project was completed as part of a job interview for Saneux UK. For this project, I designed a minimalist lever tap, the style of which was inspired by Scandinavian trends. This tap is designed so that the user turns on the tap by lifting the leaver, and alter the temperature of the water by tilting this to either side. 
​To achieve a minimalist aesthetic, the lever is housed in a groove which conceals it when the tap is off.
As part of the design task, the lead designer at Saneux asked applicants to not spend too long on this task. To challenge myself, I gave myself 24 hours to complete the task.

These images are examples of work which I completed in a short space of time. I focused on the function of the tap, building all internal parts in SolidWorks so they would replicate the real tap as accurately as possible.
Sketches below show some of my ideation before deciding on this clean, cylindrical design.
