If only because of the amount of time you’ll stand at the sink playing with it, Shen Di’s +Shifter Tap isn’t likely to do much for your water-saving efforts (despite the designer’s intentions) – but it might at least give you a bit of motivation to volunteer for dish-washing duties.

The design for Shen Di’s stylish (and expensive looking) +Shifter Tap was plainly inspired by the good ol’ manual transmission. While I’ve never seen a ‘+’ shift pattern on a gearbox, it’s a neat idea nonetheless. Except… how the hell do you set the temperature?
