Ode to an Italian Sink

Seen in an Italian airport restroom: another great way to design a public sink in an area where there are a lot of users coming and going.


This one has motion sensors for the water, soap, and hand dryer, all sensibly arranged above the back of the sink, below an overhanging shelf. I'm not usually a fan of hand dryers (really) but this one wasn't too loud, blew only cool air, and actually dried my hands fast. What a wonder!

Here's an earlier post about a well-designed sink arrangement.
