As a champion of both innovation and elegant functionality, Zip Water was proud to take part in the 2025 edition of WOW!house at Design Centre, Chelsea Harbour. This year, the HydroTap Arc Plus featured prominently in The Gathering Bar - a soulful and sophisticated bar space designed by Toni Black, Director of Luxury Interior Design and Partner at renowned hospitality design studio, Blacksheep.
A collaboration with the equally fabulous SHEPEL, a family-owned, London-based furniture manufacturer, the interior design reflects a shared ethos: combining timeless quality with performance to elevate the modern home.
“The Gathering Bar is the new heart of a home; a space where connection, conversation, and culture come together effortlessly. More than just a bar, it is a place of warmth and welcome, where stories flow as freely as the drinks are poured.” – Toni Black, Blacksheep
Set within the immersive WOW!house environment, The Gathering Bar reimagined the home bar as a cultural hub, one that paid homage to storytelling traditions passed between generations of women. Inspired by heritage yet grounded in contemporary living, the bar championed layered textures, comforting tones, and modern utility. At its centre was the Zip HydroTap Arc Plus, a refined, sculptural addition that underscored the bar’s seamless blend of aesthetics and function.
Chosen for its sleek silhouette and advanced technology, the HydroTap Arc Plus was the ideal complement to Blacksheep’s design vision. Providing instant boiling, chilled, and sparkling filtered water from a single, beautifully engineered tap, it supported the rhythm of entertaining with both style and substance.
Designed to meet the needs of today’s dynamic interiors, the HydroTap Arc Plus features: - A minimalist arc-shaped design that integrated effortlessly with high-end materials and finishes - Intuitive controls and a streamlined under-bench command centre for seamless operation - Sustainable performance, with energy-saving modes and advanced filtration that eliminates reliance on bottled water
From preparing cocktails and hot infusions to effortlessly serving sparkling refreshment, the HydroTap elevates hospitality in the home, offering not just convenience but also design-led appeal.
Zip Water’s inclusion in WOW!house 2025 marked a continued commitment to supporting the design community through innovation, collaboration, and quality craftsmanship. The partnership with Blacksheep, a studio globally recognised for emotionally rich design environments, demonstrated how contemporary appliances could integrate naturally into even the most atmospheric of residential settings.
For Toni Black, functionality was non-negotiable in a well-designed space, but never at the expense of mood or story. The HydroTap Arc Plus, with its refined visual language and ease of use, reflected this philosophy. It allowed the bar to feel both lived-in and luxurious, a place of intention, ritual, and welcome.
As home environments continue to evolve into hybrid spaces for work, wellness, and social interaction, solutions like the HydroTap Arc Plus offer a refined way to stay hydrated without compromising on design. Increasingly, consumers are seeking technologies that contribute to healthier lifestyles while also enhancing the aesthetic value of their homes.
The HydroTap meets these expectations by delivering advanced filtration and multi-functional drinking water in an award-winning design. Its integration into WOW!house served as a reminder that performance-led innovation can also be beautiful, intuitive, and emotionally resonant.
WOW!house was more than an exhibition: it was a tactile journey through the future of interior design. For Zip Water, the event was an opportunity to place hydration at the heart of the home in a meaningful and inspiring manner.
From its sculptural profile to its sustainable performance, the HydroTap Arc Plus speaks to the next chapter of home design; one where intelligent technology, wellness, and human connection work in harmony.
