Dear Delta, thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for inventing this touch-sensitive faucet. You call it “Pilar Touch-Activated Single Handle Pull-Down Kitchen Faucet with ToucH2O Technology.” I call it motherfaucet genius. How does it work, you ask. Here’s how:

That simple. Touch to activate. Touch to deactivate. That. Is. It. Off with handles. Off with indicator. Just capacitive touch built in the whole faucet, so you don’t have to anything with dirty, wet hands. Just with any dry, clean part of your body. Yes, any clean body part. You can even detach the tip.

Geeneeus functionality, and perfect, minimalist design. Jon Ive and Dieter Rams probably have theirs already. As soon as I get $US547 to throw away, I’ll get mine. [Delta Faucet via PopSci]
