Elettronico Faucet: Touchscreen Controls, Connects to a Plumbing Network
We are only talking about a sink here, but I must admit that I am a sucker for a captivating design. That having been said, the Elettronico Faucet by Carlo Frattini definitely caught my eye. The allure of the system centers around an LCD display that can be used to turn the faucet on and off, control flow rate, temperature and even other faucets / showers in the house. Essentially, the Elettronico would be part of a plumbing network that would give you command over everything from one screen. It is the most exciting thing to happen to pipes since...uh, wait. Nevermind. Unfortunately, there is no word on pricing or availability at the moment. More »

Graff Luna: The Samurai Sword of Faucets
We are in the midst of a sink design Renaissance folks—crazy new designs seem to pop up all the time. The latest comes to us via Graff in a form that bears more than a passing resemblance to a samurai sword. Plus, the faucet itself is 3 feet tall, so I wouldn't be surprised if visitors to your bathroom linger a bit admiring this masterpiece of plumbing. You even have the option of wall mounting the handles depending on which style you prefer. [Graff via HDF]

Curvy Follo Washbasin Prevents Unsightly Crotch Splashes
It's not quite as cool looking as the Fossil Washbasin, but the Follo does have some unique features of its own. Instead of a standard drain, the Follo utilizes drainage grooves to reduce standing water. Plus, the curvy appearance is more than just eye candy—it is designed to reduce the embarrassing splashback that always seems to find its way to your crotch. As my fellow Giz editors have pointed out, the only problem is that it would be impossible to pee in. Such a shame—this design is dead to me now. The Follo will be available in a range of styles and configurations sometime before the end of the year. More »

Rettangolo Sink Fixtures Rains Like Zeus' Own Ambrosia
We've seen some clever bathroom fixtures in hotels, clubs and even people's homes, but this Gessi ceiling mounted sink faucet is really nice. The water comes down from the ceiling, which says to us that there's going to be quite a lot of water pressure if you decide to stick your face under there and get a rinse. Would we want one of these in our homes? Definitely. The next best thing to sharing the shower with Zeus is standing under him when he takes one. [Trendir]

The Fossil Washbasin Will Hypnotize You Into Being Late For Work
We have seen some awesome sinks over the years, and at least one that was inspired by geology and topographical maps. The Ammonite washbasin from HighTech features a similar "organic" theme, but in my opinion, a much more captivating design. Apparently, Ammonites are an extinct species of cephalopods that existed about 400 million years ago, and their shells are prized by collectors. When integrated into a concrete sink, this prehistoric design creates a hypnotic spiral of water. More »

Wet X-Light Surround Basin: The World's First "Musical" Washbasin
At this point we have seen iPod docks fitted to just about everything under the sun, so it should come as no surprise that a company decided to develop a sink capable of playing tunes from your MP3 player. Fortunately for designer Jan Puylaert and the guys at WET, their X-Light Surround Basin should be considered as more than just a gimmick—it actually looks really cool with the transparent, light-diffusing acrylic polymer (PMMA) basin revealing the speaker system underneath. Throw some LEDs on this thing and it would be like a party in your bathroom. More » -

Water Ball Ripple Sink Makes Me Want to Tinkle
If we were handy enough to build our own sinks, we'd build one exactly like this "The Ripple" faucet, designed by Smith Newnam, which equates relative ball movement to the temperature and amount of water flowing out. Hot water makes the LED glow red, while cold makes it glow blue, and the two hot and cold channels mix together in the open air to make for your desired temperature. Awesome? Definitely. Practical? Not so much. Just try moving that ball around without accidentally touching the scorching water. [Flickr via Yanko Design] More »

SmartSink Uses Height-Calculating Software to Save Your Back
MIT student Leonardo B has come up with an idea for a sink that positions itself depending on the height of the user and adjusts its temperature depending on what you are putting in it. (This is useful when you are nudging 6'0", while your husband struggles to hit the 3'6" mark*, even when he is wearing what he refers to as "gypsy shoes.") Video, plus explanation of how the sink works, below. More »

Sink + Toilet Makes Dirty Hippies Happy
If you care at all for the environment, you're probably taking 2 minute showers, using recycled paper, and drive a hybrid car, which leaves plenty of water, paper, and fuel for those of us who are too lazy to care. But for you, the environmentally conscious bunch, we present the Sinkpositive. It's a sink on top of a toilet, which uses the tank (is that what it's called?) water for hand washing before using it again for poop flushing. More »

Toilet Lid Sink
One thing about apartment hunting in New York City when you are not feelthy steenking reech is that no matter how nasty you think the last apartment you saw was, the next one will inevitably be nastier. We once looked at one in lower Manhattan that had the shower in a what was basically a closet, just off the kitchen, and the toilet in another closet at the far end of the apartment. More » -

Space-Saving Stove
This is a hell of an idea, especially for dorms or small spaces (like my first apartment, where I could actually cook right from my bed). The all-in-one cooking sink by Kohler actually has a stovetop built into the sink, spacious enough to put a large pot on, but not big enough to make it look like two appliances. Genius. It's also got a chopping board and it actually looks pretty darn good. You won't be baking cookies anytime soon, but we trust that won't be much of a problem.
