The faucet stands upright and houses a cross-sectional bar that releases the water, for a more intuitive bathing and cleaning experience. The 'Noah' tap is a futuristic design that changes the way consumers typically turn off and on their water. The design utilizes a [cross shape](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/botte-mixer) that has an intersectional cylinder piece that is tips to dispense water. The temperature of the water is controlled via a twisted top located on the fixed portion of the faucet.
