Not strictly a "streel-level" difference, but I was fascinated with the design of the soap dispenser in my Reykjavik hotel bathroom. Probably because I recently went soap-dispenser shopping back in the 'States, installed one in the photo studio I run and have been unhappy with its design ever since. The one that I bought is a pain to load and constantly gets a clogged nozzle, unlike this one:
As you can see, there's no button, the entire face of the dispenser is on a hinge concealed at the top. Pull the face towards you and it easily opens for reloading:
Inside there's just a simple soap-filled bottle that gets squeezed when you press on the dispenser housing. The bottle is refillable and has a perfectly flat bottom, presumably so you can invert it and place it on a surface underneath whatever kind of pump they use to refill it. It has a silicon self-sealing closure (like a Zeller closure, for you structural package designers out there) so soap only leaks out when the bottle is squeezed.
Alas, I couldn't find the name of a manufacturer stamped anywhere on the housing; it's probably on the back, on the side stuck to the wall. I'd rip it off the wall to see, but I'm already going to have to pay a damage deposit for when I superglue the furniture to the ceiling before checkout, and I don't want to get hit with fees twice.
