Ukufumana itephu efanelekileyo yokuhlambela kulula ukuthetha kunokwenza.

"Qho, akukho mhlaba uphakathi phakathi kwe'Downton Abbey' kunye '2001: I-Space Odyssey,'” utshilo uFrances Merrill, umseki we Uyilo lweReath, eLos Angeles. Uninzi lwezixhobo zibonakala zindala ngokuzamla, waphawula, ngelixa ezinye zisezangoku kakhulu.

Kwabo bafuna into phakathi, Nangona kunjalo, kukho iindaba ezimnandi: Umkhwa wangoku ubhekisele kwiifaucets ezenziwe lula, iimilo zakudala kunye nenkangeleko echuliweyo yeshishini.

Olunye uphuhliso oluthembisayo: Umnqweno wamva nje weempompo zobhedu uncede ukwaphula i-headlock ye-chrome kwi-hardware yegumbi lokuhlambela.

“Kuvulele abantu ukuba bajonge iindlela ezahlukeneyo zokugqiba," Nksk. Watsho uMerrill, ukusuka kwimibala yentsimbi engaqhelekanga njengobhedu, i-titanium kunye ne-matte emnyama yokuphatha kwizinto ezichaseneyo ezifana nekristale kunye nelitye. "Ngoku yindawo apho unokwemba khona kwaye ufumane izinto ezimnandi."

Kodwa kungakhathaliseki ukuba yiyiphi indlela oyithandayo kunye nokugqiba, qiniseka ukuba wenza uphando ngezandla.

"Ndizama ukwenza abantu bachukumise" ngaphambi kokuthenga, Nksk. Watsho uMerrill. "Kuba yinto oza kuyenza yonke imihla."

• Ngaba kungcono ukuba nodonga- okanye umbhobho owenziwe ngamampunge? Iifaucethi ezifakwe eludongeni zibukeka zicocekile kwaye zandisa indawo yokubala, kodwa zifuna ukucwangciswa kwangaphambili, Nksk. Watsho uMerrill, njengoko iivalvu ezirhabaxa kufuneka zifakwe eludongeni kwaye imingxuma isoloko ifuna ukusikwa kwithayile okanye ilitye.

• Ngaba ufuna enye-, Mbini- okanye imingxunya emithathu? Ezinye iifaucets ziyunithi enye kunye nolawulo oludibeneyo lobushushu kunye nomthamo, ngelixa ezinye zineempompo ezahlukileyo. Ukhetho luxhomekeke kakhulu kwinkangeleko yakho oyifunayo kunye nokuba ingakanani indawo ekhoyo.

• Ngaba ukhetha ukugqiba loo minyaka? Ubhedu olungenamalaphu kunye nelinye lakudala, ubhedu kunye nokugqitywa kobhedu kuya kuphuhlisa ipatina ngokusetyenziswa - okanye yintoni uNksz. UMerrill wabiza "isiphelo esiphilayo" - ngelixa abanye, njenge chrome, iya kuqhubeka ikhangeleka entsha.
