Modular radiators that make an impact

Designer radiatorsTubes radiatorsModular radiatorsTake a look at this interesting feature radiator designed by Indian-born Amsterdam-based industrial designer Satyendra Pakhalé.

This modular radiator has been developed for Italian radiator manufacturer Tubes and turns radiators into sculptures to your personal design. Each radiator has a 12 x 24 cm (4.5 x 9 inches) base system to which you can add smaller components with four-armed parts.

To ensure functionality the surface area has been maximized and it has been manufactured using aluminum for rapid heat exchange. It is a lightweight structure and includes an in-wall support system that allows the radiator to also function as a partition element as well. 

A great design and very fllexible. Just what the heating industry has been looking for.

Sustainable Kettle Mug: The coolest way to heat up your water

sustainable-kettle-mug_hyaVg_58.jpgIt's no secret that boiling a kettle takes an enormous amount of electricity, but did you know that the energy required to boil this amount of water is sufficient to power 50 light bulbs?

Designer Rio Soetanto has been tackling the issue and created the ingenious 'Sustainable Kettle Mug' based on induction heating which conserves energy. This innovative kettle is apt for everyday users and is personalized with six mugs for the entire family. The kettle is made of lightweight, not-toxic, recyclable ABS plastic and can withstand very high temperatures of 105 °C (221 °F), while the induction system helps in improving the boiling time.  As the water is boiled in the mugs themselves you don't even need to pour anything. Eco friendly and uber cool, putting the kettle on has never been such a good idea.
