The Angel Faucet has been designed with one specifically in mind, offering a means for arm amputees to effectively wash their hands. Given that the ordinary act becomes much more difficult without another hand to rub against, the user is provided with a built-in [scrubbing pad](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/body-washing-tool) on the top of the [bathroom fixture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/delta-faucets). It's made of a soft material with a texture of many short bristles that aid in lathering soap against the skin and removing dirt. After applying a bit of detergent and water, the user can clean efficiently and easily in this innovative Angel Faucet concept by Cui Chengtao, Yang Shuai, Lin Shuo, Wang Shuai and Liu Shaolu. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.9/10 - Popularity: 18% | Activity: 31% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Inclusive Design:** The Angel Faucet demonstrates the trend of inclusive design by creating a product that addresses the specific needs of arm amputees. - **Assistive Technology:** The integration of a scrubbing pad in the Angel Faucet exemplifies the trend of assistive technology, providing a solution to a specific physical challenge. - **User-centric Innovation:** The concept of the Angel Faucet reflects the trend of user-centric innovation by focusing on the needs and challenges of individuals with physical disabilities. ### Who This Affects Most - **Bathroom Fixtures:** The Angel Faucet introduces a disruptive innovation opportunity in the bathroom fixtures industry by incorporating a scrubbing pad for arm amputees. - **Home Accessibility:** The concept of the Angel Faucet presents a disruptive innovation opportunity in the home accessibility industry, catering to the needs of individuals with physical disabilities. - **Assistive Devices:** The integration of a scrubbing pad in the Angel Faucet highlights a disruptive innovation opportunity in the assistive devices industry, offering a solution for arm amputees. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Refined Dishwasher Faucets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grifoa-sliding-faucet.md) - [Contactless Voice Assistant Faucets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/huayi-smart-voice-control-faucet.md) - [Healthcare-Focused Touchless Faucet Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chicago-faucet-company.md) - [Ultra-Modern Sliding Faucets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/desliz-faucet.md) - [Bubble-Infused Water Faucets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/microbubbles.md) - [Accessible Shower Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/accessible-showers.md) - [Angular Ceramic Sink Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/angle-washbasin.md) - [Portable Handheld Dishwasher](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/automated-portable-handheld-dishwasher.md) - [Assistive One-Handed Hairdryers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/concept-hairdryer.md)
