# Sleek 2-in-1 Faucets Kohler Fluid Faucet Converts to Water Fountain By Elsa Blaine | Published 2009-05-18 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kohler-fluid-faucet-converts-to-water-fountain References: [freshome](http://freshome.com/2009/05/15/the-fluid-faucet-by-kohler-design-doubles-as-a-drinking-fountain/) & [koehler-design.de](http://www.koehler-design.de/KOEHLER-DESIGN/FLUID_english.html) [Kohler's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/formation-01) new Fluid Faucet is a convertible design for [modern bathroom interiors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/botte-mixer). The ultra-sleek two-in-one fixture can be used as a tap to wash your hands in or, with a simple flip of the spout, a [drinking fountain](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-water-dispenser). My only thought is that a warning should accompany the Fluid Faucet to turn the flow of water off before switching from hand washing stream to thirst-busting mode or you're going to get a soaker. **Implications** - Businesses that devote their efforts to designing products aimed to provide high levels of convenience to consumers will appeal to a wide audience. Today's fast-moving culture offers businesses plenty of opportunities from which businesses can benefit by creating highly functional products. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.7/10 - Popularity: 31% | Activity: 71% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, 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 Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Convertible Design:** The trend of creating versatile products that can serve multiple purposes opens up opportunities for businesses to cater to the needs of the modern consumer. - **Convenience-driven Products:** There is a growing demand for products that offer convenience and efficiency, providing businesses with the chance to tap into this market by developing innovative, time-saving solutions. - **Functional Innovation:** The focus on developing highly functional and practical products allows businesses to stand out in a competitive market by meeting the demands of consumers seeking efficient solutions. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Home Improvement:** The home improvement industry can leverage the trend of convertible designs to create innovative and versatile fixtures that enhance the functionality and convenience of living spaces. - **Bathroom Fixtures:** In the bathroom fixtures industry, there is an opportunity to develop products that cater to the evolving needs of consumers, such as faucets that offer both handwashing and drinking functionality. - **Kitchen Appliances:** The kitchen appliances industry can explore the trend of functional innovation to create multi-purpose products that streamline tasks and enhance efficiency in the kitchen. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Refined Dishwasher Faucets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grifoa-sliding-faucet.md) - [Enhanced Stylish Faucet Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/omnibath.md) - [Touch-Free Kitchen Faucets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kraus-bolden.md) - [Stealthy Limited-Edition Faucets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/formation-01.md) - [Ultra-Slick Faucet Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kohler-billet.md) - [Abstract Industrial Faucet Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/formation-01-faucet.md) - [Designer Water Purifier Faucets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lumos-water-purifier.md) - [Energy Drink Faucets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tap.md) - [Stand-Up Water Fountain Toothbrushes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Youseeuc.md)
