The brand Caroma just launched a new product which is combining innovation, high efficiency and interesting design. Here are the specs:

*After flushing, fresh cold water is directed through the faucet for hand washing and drains into the tank to be used for the next flush

*Unique water and space saving design

*Chrome buttons built-in to tapware design

*Easy installation

*Large trapway virtually eliminates blockages

Hi guys,

Imagine you are such famous architect that your building designs are reflecting in products. That's where Frank Gehry is nowadays. 

Tiffany&Co. is offering this beautiful ring among 3 other choices. Isn't that amazing?
