Flo: water deflector, protective faucet cover, and bubble bath dispenser

First to recommend

3 people recommended this item

Description

Combining multiple functions into a single device, Flo provides a simple solution to several bath time challenges. This unique product diverts the flow of water, creating a gentle waterfall, while providing a protective faucet cover to guard against injury. Flo also functions as a bubble bath dispenser.

Flo attaches easily to the bathtub faucet with a spring-activated grip that requires no assembly or special installation. When the water is turned on, it’s diverted into a stream that extends up to 12 inches in front of the faucet, creating a gentle waterfall and making rinsing hair easy. The soft material on the front edge of Flo helps protect against injuries caused by bumping or scraping against the faucet. Parents can fill the bubble bath reservoir and let children dispense bubbles into the water by pressing the button on the front. (via Follow Function)

Description

A magazine stand? A side table? A stool? A beautiful work of art made from bent ply? Indeed, another piece from Eric Pfieffer (the guy who wrote the book on bent ply and called it "Bent Ply: The Art of Plywood Furniture"). Feel free to put your feet up. Available in Walnut, Birch, Oak, and the color Black. (via Follow Function)
