Jordan and Russell's HydroTap All-in-One Arc in brushed gold
Interior designers Jordan Cluroe and Russell Whitehead were looking for a stylish product to de-clutter their surfaces and provide for all their drinking water needs. As the owners of 2LG Studio, Jordan and Russell haven’t just been creating award-winning designs for clients over the last few years, but have also been busy renovating their own home. Having taken on a property in dire need of repair over three years ago, the project has been a true labour of love
The brief
The re-design of their South London home was always intended to produce a space to express themselves. Jordan and Russell are renowned for their use of colour, their ability to transform spaces into light, spacious rooms and incorporate both the past and present into their designs. The kitchen was a key focus for the transformation as the pair wanted somewhere that would not only be a place to cook but also be an entertaining space with the wow factor. The designers wanted to make sure the kitchen was stripped back, with clever storage and large units concealing appliances. “What we didn’t want was acres of worktops cluttered with all the usual kitchen appliances - but we still needed an area to prepare and cook food!” Jordan adds.
The solution
One key appliance that the pair were set on having was an instant boiling water tap. “We loved the idea of having a product that meant we could kiss goodbye to our ugly kettle,” continues Russell. “We knew hot taps had seen an increase in popularity, but what we didn’t know was that we could have five different water types all from one tap!” Jordan and Russell chose the Zip HydroTap All-in-One Arc, a one of a kind product that alongside filtered boiling water provides filtered chilled and sparkling water as well as regular unfiltered hot and cold. “We are so thrilled with the tap,” continues Jordan. “It means we drink more water and we don’t need bottled water, which is a huge bonus as we are very conscious about plastic waste. The sparkling water is fantastic, especially when entertaining."
