There is a definite futuristic feel about the Ametis faucet. As though inspired by the blockbuster hit 'TRON: Legacy,' it has the movie's signature black surface with LED lighting in its look. Yet, more than anything, it takes away an essence of the gaming community not only from that film, but also from the handle's joystick-like design.

Created by Swiss designer Davide Oppizz for Graff Faucets, the Ametis faucet is incredibly sleek in all of its sci-fi glory. The perfect addition to homes looking for that technological and futuristic touch, the Ametis faucet introduces a new way to appreciate [bathroom accessories and decor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/delta-faucets).

Not only does the Ametic faucet look technologically advanced, it's equipped with an [electronic system](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luxury-kitchen-sink) and the LED ring lights up according to the water’s temperature.
