Including plants, shells, sand and, most importantly, water, Qiu grew fascinated with the many naturally spiraling phenomena that we witness every day. He observed water\u2019s tendency to spiral like a vortex especially when pressurized through a pipeline. Because water\u2019s rate of flow also slowed down when spiraling, Qiu sought to harness this natural movement pattern for good, creating a faucet that saves water through its magical spiraling output.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\n\t<img class=\"lazy\"\n\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/themes\/architizer\/assets\/images\/blank.png\"\n\t\tdata-src=\"https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/media\/mediadata\/uploads\/15010056748697e4e1822614295.5633257cb7717.jpg?fit=max&#038;w=1680&#038;q=60&#038;auto=format&#038;auto=compress&#038;cs=strip\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-srcset=\"https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/media\/mediadata\/uploads\/15010056748697e4e1822614295.5633257cb7717.jpg?fit=max&amp;w=1680&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 1680w,https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/media\/mediadata\/uploads\/15010056748697e4e1822614295.5633257cb7717.jpg?fit=max&amp;w=1080&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 1080w,https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/media\/mediadata\/uploads\/15010056748697e4e1822614295.5633257cb7717.jpg?fit=max&amp;w=760&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 760w,https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/media\/mediadata\/uploads\/15010056748697e4e1822614295.5633257cb7717.jpg?fit=max&amp;w=625&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 625w,https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/media\/mediadata\/uploads\/15010056748697e4e1822614295.5633257cb7717.jpg?fit=max&amp;w=368&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 368w\"\n\t\t\tsizes=\"(min-width: 1680px) 1680px,(min-width: 1080px) 1080px,(min-width: 760px) 760px,(min-width: 625px) 625px,368px\"\n\t\t\t\talt=\"\"\n\t\titemprop=\"contentUrl\"\n\t>\n<\/div>\n\n<p><i> Preliminary sketches of Swirl\u2019s activation button via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.behance.net\/gallery\/22614295\/Swirl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Behance<\/a><\/i><\/p>\n<p>The entire performance is activated with the delicate touch of a circular button that sits on top of the faucet\u2019s head.
