See stylish radiators that celebrate form and function! From creative interpretations of everyday objects to witty takes on the cosmos, these cool heaters’ playful curves and bold designs will crank the heat up in any space!
Cleverly called Hot Spring, this award-winning radiator was created by Bisque founder Geoffrey Ward and celebrated designer Paul Priestman. Its 8” diameter coils come in 4 lengths: 26”, 50”, 61” and 73” and this one, in Traffic Yellow, is a great heater for children’s bedrooms!
Thanks to its finish options, Hot Spring is just as adept at adding splashes of color to a kid’s room as it is at dressing up a formal space.
Acclaimed industrial designer Paolo D’Arrigo cooked up for Italian bathroom accessories and radiators manufacturer Caos a veritable alphabet soup of heaters that will warm your towels as well as your heart! Libra’s 3 slender, curved heating elements are conjured into a trio of ethereal graphic statements. Libra Z is meant for horizontal orientation.
Libra X (left) and Libra Y (right) are intended to be installed vertically. Bathrobes can be hung handily on these configurations. The towel heaters are available in standard and RAL colors, metallic finishes in different sheens, as well as colored mica coatings.
Few radiators have withstood the test of time like Antrax’s Saturn & Moon, the brainchild of Peter Rankin. Visually bold yet minimalist in style, the spherical cap -shaped heater measures 73 cm (28.7”) dia x 16 cm (6.3”) d. Likened to the rings of Saturn, an optional curved towel hanger around the ‘equator’ of the heater provides additional functionality, while just adding 4.5 cm (1.7”) to its depth. Soft shadows cast along the radiator’s edge are reminiscent of Saturn’s lunar eclipses, reinforcing the analogy to its namesake planet!
From Saturn, we come much closer to home with this Moon Floating Panel Radiator Cover, a stylish solution for your unprepossessing heater. The eye-catching design features a circular theme to evoke the moon’s terrain. Engraved circles sport divots in their centers, and are surrounded by randomly placed punch-outs of varying sizes to resemble lunar craters and canyons. The cover comes in 7 high gloss colors to match any décor, and is standardized at 70 cm high (27 ½”), with lengths from 70 cm (27 ½”) to 180 cm (70.9”) in 10 cm (3.9”) increments as needed. Attached by hanging 2 brackets onto the radiator, the vented cover is easy to place and remove, while providing protection from burns with nominal heat loss.
This sculptural wall heater by Italian architect Luigi Molinis was inspired by a kitchen staple – the lowly sieve! Easily mistaken for a piece of wall art, the monumental Medusa radiator is a 141.5 cm (55.7”) ring that’s bordered by a substantial 3.37 cm (1.3”) rim, and festooned with thin, wavy steel tubing measuring 1.6 cm (.63”) in diameter. It’s available in 21 standard colors, with Flamed Copper and Flamed Brass on request.
The Movie radiator is another fruitful collaboration between Mariano Moroni and Cordivari Design. In this case, the Italian architect’s celluloid strip film-based concept relied on the manufacturer’s ultra-thin heating system know-how to bring his ideas to life.
The resulting stylized film strip is available in 80 colors. The hydronic heater’s sizes are 113 cm (44.5”) h x 51 cm (20’) w and 139.2 cm (54.8”) h x 64.2 cm (25.3”) w, while the electric model only comes in the larger size.
