Lynx
Smart kitchen tap
The Task
Cobra's second 'design a tap' competition took place in 2014. The brief was to design a kitchen tap that included induction heating technology.
The Outcome
Lynx is a concept tap designed specifically around function and purpose. The name Lynx is derived from the wild cat,
a precision feline that displays agility and flexibility.
a precision feline that displays agility and flexibility.
The design thinking behind the Lynx concept was; how to take the induction heating technology and harness it to its
full potential. A design philosophy that asks why not, instead of why. If induction heating technology was to be
incorporated in this tap, why not include electronics elsewhere on the tap. If this induction technology is expensive,
why not design a luxury, top of the range tap that justifies it’s price tag. If this tap is top of the range why not have it
perform multiple functions that make your life simpler.

Lynx was the winning design in the professional category, it has since been published in several online and print magazines.
