Not only is the sink touch sensitive for both on and off settings, it also provides the ability to control water flow and degrees for more efficient. The sink is elegant as well as minimalistic, opting for a simplistic white basin and [single spout faucet](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lumos-water-purifier) that are separate units. The sink also comes accompanied with a [gesture control panel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dornbracht-atelier) that senses movement, as well as other functionalities such as 'Quick Start' that allows consumers to select their favorite temperature. This way the water is always set to a base temperature of the consumer's choosing, to prevent water waste and running the tap. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.7/10 - Popularity: 77% | Activity: 55% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## 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 - **Gesture-controlled Smart Sinks:** Opportunity for companies to create touchless and more energy-efficient sinks using gesture control technology. - **Minimalistic Sink Designs:** Opportunity for designers to create more elegant and simplistic sink designs that fit well with modern interiors. - **Efficient Water Use:** Opportunity for companies to create products with features that help promote efficient water usage and conservation. ### Where This Applies - **Smart Home Technology:** The trend in gesture-controlled smart sinks falls within the realm of smart home technology, providing opportunities for innovation in this industry. - **Interior Design:** The trend towards minimalistic sink designs offers opportunities for designers in the interior design industry to create more elegant and simplistic sink designs. - **Water Conservation:** Efficient water use through innovative features can help promote water conservation, offering opportunities for companies in the water conservation industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Touchless Smart Faucets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-faucet-with-motion-control.md) - [Contactless Voice Assistant Faucets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/huayi-smart-voice-control-faucet.md) - [Ultra-Modern Sliding Faucets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/desliz-faucet.md) - [Refined Dishwasher Faucets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grifoa-sliding-faucet.md) - [Healthcare-Focused Touchless Faucet Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chicago-faucet-company.md) - [Enhanced Stylish Faucet Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/omnibath.md) - [Tech-Equipped Kitchen Sinks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luxury-kitchen-sink.md) - [Touch-Free Kitchen Faucets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kraus-bolden.md) - [Tactile Smart Home Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/from-design-concept.md)
