Smart Hydro
Smart Hydro is a touchless water dispenser designed for shared spaces such as offices and gyms. Infrared sensors on the side panels detect the hand of the user and the container placed on the counter. Water then flows automatically and stops when the container is lifted away, so physical contact is reduced. The main body and the arc are produced by plastic injection, while most internal support parts are bent from aluminium sheet. The dispenser is 140 cm high, 36 cm wide and 40 cm deep. The form can be approached from several angles.
Smart Hydro Touchless Water Dispenser by Tive Creative Collective has been selected as an outstanding illustration of service design by the A' Design Award. Smart Hydro Touchless Water Dispenser earned the Bronze A' Design Award in Hospitality, Restaurant and Catering Products Design in 2021. The A' Hospitality, Restaurant and Catering Products Design Award is a juried, academic and highly prestigious design accolade that recognizes exceptional design of menu boards, beverage dispensers, buffet equipment, hotel furniture, tableware sets, catering trolleys, kitchen appliances, guest amenities and more.
