# Tap-Like Water Bottles The Sismo Tap Water Bottle Looks Similar to a Faucet By Jamie Danielle Munro | Published 2014-06-06 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sismo References: [designboom](http://www.designboom.com/design/sismo-water-bottle-tap-kitchen-sink-knobs-06-06-2014/) & [sismodesign](http://www.sismodesign.com/fr/) The Sismo water bottle takes its inspiration from faucets, as the top part of the design could easily be mistaken for a tap. The bottom half of the design looks very similar to most water bottles, with a clear plastic being used for the material. For shaping, the design moves inwards the closer it goes to the top of the bottle, adding a small but interesting touch to make it stand out on the shelves. Not only does the tap lid look great, but it also makes the water bottle a lot easier to open. Oftentimes people are stuck attempting to open a tight top, but this ergonomic design solves these problems for many people (just be sure to not close the lid too tight to begin with)!
