A collaboration between Gensler and Infinity Drain unveiled a visually stunning drain design inspired by the science of adhesion, where water droplets stick to a variety of surfaces to form unique patterns. To develop this abstract aquatic visual, the Gensler design team started by pouring water on a selection of luxurious surfaces to observe how the droplets moved and gathered. The modern pattern that evolved from this exploration has an even distribution of irregularity to create a look that is simultaneously random and precise.
“The pattern leverages the science of adhesion to redefine the way we think about architectural drainage,” according to EJ Chung, Design Director at Gensler. “The pattern’s circular water droplet concept is somewhat familiar and comfortable, but the progressive twist on the round shape adds flair and an upscale energy. And the edges of the curved cutouts in the steel reflect light to mimic the glistening quality of water droplets."
