We\u2019re back in the midst of winter and for many, heaters are a necessary evil. If you want something livelier than the standard issue, here\u2019s a collection of nature-inspired and toasty models that can literally knock your socks off!<\/p>\n

While the easiest way to achieve biophilic design<\/a> is by introducing nature into a space, research shows that just adding manmade elements evocative of nature will enhance our physiological, psychological and cognitive well-being.<\/p>\n

Aside from providing the myriad benefits of biophilia, these artistic creations \u2013 ranging from an extinct raptor to present day flora and fauna \u2013 will forever change your perception of the humble radiator!<\/p>\n

\"Radiator<\/a>
T. rex to warm your heart and home.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This whimsical radiator is sure to bring out your inner child. The fearsome Tyrannosaurus rex<\/a> is reincarnated as a cast iron heater by Russian design firm Art. Lebedev Studio<\/a>. The long bony structure of the dinosaur allows it to multi-task as a clothes warmer in winter and clothes tree in summer!<\/p>\n

\"Model<\/a>
Skeleton crew.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Created as a protoype, this toothy predator may be manufactured one day to meet your heating needs.<\/p>\n

\"Heater<\/a>
Brain trust.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Award winning designer Paolo D\u2019Arrigo<\/a>\u2019s Coral Electric Radiator is an excellent example of the Modernist mantra \u2018form follows function\u2019. Inspired by coral\u2019s fractal branching growth patterns, Paolo used generative algorithm for his parametric modelling when designing Coral to create maximum surface area for heat distribution.<\/p>\n

Made of laser cut 8 mm (.32\u201d) aluminum, the radiator comes in a 450 Watts, 800 mm (31.5\u201d) round or 600 Watts, 480 x 1480 x 50 mm (19 x 58.27 x 2\u201d) rectangle that can be installed vertically or horizontally. Available finishes range from RAL colors, textures to metallics. Bringing this to the 21st century, the smart appliance comes with a convenient app to set heating schedule, speed, and temperature.<\/p>\n

\"Modular<\/a>
Turning over new leaves.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The decorative acanthus leaf scroll by Joris Laarman<\/a> is actually an ingenuous modular heating system. Initially part of his graduation thesis from Netherlands\u2019 renowned Design Academy Eindhoven, the Rococo radiator demonstrated that functionality and ornamentation do not have to be mutually exclusive. Similar to the Coral Radiator in principal, Heatwave\u2019s florid design maximizes thermal output via the exuberantly sinuous edges. The 150 mm (5.9\u201d) d sections come in 4 sizes: 780 x 540 mm (30.7 x 21.26 \u201d), 1450 x 730 mm (57.1 x 28.7\u201d), 2090 x 1040 (82.3 x 40.9\u201d) and 2720 x 1350 mm (107.1 x 53.2\u201d). They snap together easily and can be installed along walls, as well as on inside or outside corners.<\/p>\n

Heatwave is made of cast polyconcrete, which is derived from natural and man-made materials. It comes in 2 colors, Stone Grey or Black Matt, and sports a nickel plated handwheel for contrast.<\/p>\n

\"Radiator<\/a>
Finding Sheldon.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Plymouth is a playful heating unit manufactured by Carisa<\/a> of Turkey. Like Sheldon<\/a>, Nemo\u2019s spunky seahorse friend, Plymouth is certainly allergic to water! The seahorse silhouette is cut from mild steel and the heated panel is 1790 w x 470 h x 61-81 mm d (70.5 x 18.5 x 2.4-3.2\u201dd).\u00a0 At 1221 Watts and 4162 BTU, the radiator will warm up your home in no time! Finish options include Gloss White, Textured Black, Textured Dark Grey and Textured Light Grey.<\/p>\n

\"Radiator<\/a>
Early bird gets the worm!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

If you think radiators on the market are boring, it\u2019s even more uninspired when it comes to children\u2019s rooms. Here\u2019s a radiator cover that will instantly change the d\u00e9cor of any child\u2019s bedroom or playroom. Suitable for 600 x 600 mm (23.6 x 23.6\u201d) and 600 x 800 mm (23.6 x 31.5\u201d) appliances, the metal cover attaches to an existing radiator with industrial magnets. Made of powder coated steel, it purportedly boosts heat output by 5-10% and reduces the radiator\u2019s surface temperature, making it safer for kids.<\/p>\n

\"Vertical<\/a>
Where have all the flowers gone?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

These stylized camellia<\/a> wall heaters by Marco Pisati<\/a> are sure to improve the physical and mental outlooks of everyone in the space. Designed for K8 Radiatori and aptly called Camelia (the shrub\u2019s Italian name), it was originally intended as a towel warmer since the branching form is perfect for hanging towels and clothes. But apparently these colorful panels have gained wide traction among offices, entryways, living rooms and everywhere in between.<\/p>\n

Camelia is available in a large variety of sizes with heights from 1200-2200 mm (47.2-86.6\u201d), widths between 320-640 mm (12.6-25.2\u201d) and depths of 43-113 mm (1.7-4.5\u201d). Heat output is 854-1714 Watts, depending on dimensions. Mix and match color options for the base and hanger include 15 RAL paints, 5 metallic, 6 anodized and 8 galvanized finishes.<\/p>\n

\"Wall<\/a>
The Heat is On!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Doubling as a piece of Pop Art, the Dafne radiator from Fondital\u2019s Black Label Design Collection is certainly going to make your space heater the talk of the town! As can be seen from this diverse crop of designs, there are plenty of fun and funky biomorphic heating products to cure your winter blues!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
