confusing design: a kitchen tap


the functionality of the tap is confusing as it is able to move from top to bottom and left to right but only water appears when you move the tap from side to side. Further, there is no colour coding or wording in which the consumer is able to identify whether it is hot or cold, this is potentially dangerous as one may burn themself.

solutions include: labeling direction which is placed next to the tap where visible and colour coding the tap eg: Blue for cold and Red for hot
