PICKED: Faucet Face

by

Water sustainability has been an ongoing concern. Which is why we love Faucet Face — a delightful line of glass bottles that make drinking tap water a joy, in hopes of inspiring people to buy less bottled water.

The bottles come in three colors, each featuring original artwork by an independent designer — a green Hose Water, with typographic illustration by Ray Fenwick; a red Hummingbird Feeder designed by Anneka Tran; and a blue Tap is Terrific with typography by UK designer Seb Lester.

Exra-thick glass keeps the bottle from breaking easily and a BPA-free cap ensures a non-toxic, carcinogen-free drink. A portion of the profits from the sale of each bottle goes to charity:water, our favorite nonprofit bringing clean drinking water to people in the developing world.

We’ve got a free weekly newsletter and people say it’s cool. It comes out on Sundays, offers the week’s main articles, and features short-form interestingness from our PICKED series. Here’s an example. Like? Sign up.
