# Negative Space Spouts The H-Faucet Appears to Make Magic with a Seemingly Abscent Spigot By Amelia Roblin | Published 2012-05-29 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/h-faucet References: [tuvie](http://www.tuvie.com/h-faucet-concept-by-jang-wooseok/) & [coroflot](http://www.coroflot.com/oowoo/H-Faucet) What looks to be either structural or decorative in the H-Faucet is actually a combination of both, combined with the fixture's practical feature. The intriguing thing is that these four slender tubes that hold up the spout accomplish their tasks with such [minimalist grace](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mini-instantheating-water-dispenser). Designer Jang Wooseok strove to deconstruct the familiar image of the faucet, stripping away one of its more central elements: the shaft. In its place, the tap emerges from the countertop as [four separate metal pipes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/antoniolupi-tubo), supporting and feeding into the long rectangular head. A rigid geometric handle stands upright within the base of the H-Faucet, leaning out to the side only when the spout is in use. The overall appearance of the [unusual tap](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/botte-mixer) is one of stark yet stylish rationality. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.8/10 - Popularity: 40% | Activity: 37% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: 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 ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Minimalist Faucets:** There is an opportunity to explore new ways to design and construct faucets by embracing minimalism. - **Structural Decor:** Incorporating structural or decorative elements into design solutions could lead to creations that are both practical and artistic. - **Deconstructive Design:** Experts could examine and experiment with deconstructing familiar objects like faucets and replacing them with more innovative structures. ### Where This Applies - **Interior Design:** Interior designers who embrace minimalist aesthetics may find novel ideas on which to develop new faucets and other home fittings. - **Metalworking:** Metalworkers could explore unorthodox ways of using metal pipes and geometries to make faucets and other fixtures. - **Architecture:** Architects could take cues from the H-Faucet's structural and geometric elements to create both functional and beautiful buildings and landscapes. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Geometrically Inspired Faucets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fantini-oxy.md) - [Stealthy Limited-Edition Faucets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/formation-01.md) - [Dripping Faucet-Inspired Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minimalist-light-fixture.md) - [Demure Hand Shower Faucets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bell-jar-shower-head.md) - [Ultra-Modern Sliding Faucets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/desliz-faucet.md) - [Designer Water Purifier Faucets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lumos-water-purifier.md) - [Sleek Geometry-Inspired Faucets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oxy.md) - [Refined Dishwasher Faucets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grifoa-sliding-faucet.md) - [Ultra-Slick Faucet Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kohler-billet.md)
