ALEXANDER SHAYLE STUDIO

Aqua Libra Taps

Carlsberg Britvic

2024 - 2025



Alexander leads the Industrial Design strategy, CMF and visual design language development of the Aqua Libra tap estate, covering all products in the portfolio.

This includes the Commerical Tap range, the Flavour Tap range and Event Taps for trade shows and summits.

The collaboration has allowed the implementation of circular design principles and sustainable materials into the products, collaborating with partners such as Surface Matter and Durat. 





Flavour Tap Nano is the latest Innovation from Aqua Libra, providing Still, Sparkling, Flavoured and Boiling water from a compact on-counter integrated tap.

The base is made from Durat, and a modular design allows for different colours and materials to be used in the base.

The modular design also allows for easy repair and refurbishment of the unit, for a long product life cycle.






Different colour schemes are easily achievable with the modular construction of the base. Flavour Tap Nano is currently produced with Durat solid surface and a powder coated colour match tap body. Future editions of the product will feature materials such as Richlite and other recycled composite sheets.



The second generation Flavour Tap Arch features a smaller, more compact footprint with the brand signature Arch tap. 

The new base lightweights the current design, becoming more material efficient, easier to install and visually lighter on the countertop. The new base also integrates modular components from the Nano, such as the waste assembly and screen. This creates efficiencies in both manufacture, servicing and operations.  

The new design can be produced in Durat, or other recycled composite sheets. 


The second generation Aqua illi has been designed to have a simplified construction with reduced plastic, and to be easily specified in different colours for architects and interior designers. 

Alexander led the CMF strategy and product design development for the Aqua illi, with the taps first showcased to the public at Clerkenwell Design Week 2025.
