American Standard Signature Elements

The use of high gloss surface on the top user interface, knurling texture on the temperature control, and colored spray nozzle with the faucet’s matt white surface create a refined & sophisticated look, while tapered based expresses the image of stability, reliability and trust.

Human Centered Design

The use of capacitive field technology allows the user to operate the faucet efficiently; the intuitive LED indicator on top helps the user wash hands properly. A sensor drives operation in the faucet body. The top surface shows two different modes: preset water temperature (this helps save energy) and handwashing instructions. When the user's hands are not detected, the faucet goes to standby mode.

Exquisite harmony of technology and design

Amid the pandemic, the team reimagined the touchless faucet by harmoniously integrating a digital panel. This approach brought the elegance of consumer electronics onto the product while enhancing accessibility and usability for everyday users.
