Inventum is on the same list with iF Gold Awards along side with the BMW 5 Series and the Apple i-Pad" Inventum AquaSpot in short: The design of the AquaSpot faucet is a balance of pure geometrical lines and soft areas, a balance of ratio and emotion. The faucet can be rotated 360º and is height adjustable for the different use of filling a cup or filling a pasta pot. The boiling water faucet features a unique ergonomic touch-button interface with a red circular LED indicator as visual feedback. The patented built-in security feature "IntelliProtect" gives the user a choice of three different key combinations to protect adults from unintended use and children from burnings. The AquaSpot is very convenient and saves water and energy compared to a water cooker.
