The radiator as art

An Italian design company, Runtal, has a very interesting way with radiators.  The first one below is called the Splash:

And the wonder you feel is no accident but the result of the combination of artistic inspiration ration and multi-material research.

Corian ® is the name of the material through which Runtal has succeeded in developing a new language of shapes in the design of its radiators. the motif of concentric circles created by Christian Ghion resembles a falling drop of water creates gentle waves. water waves to the eye, concealing heat waves.

Stillness and movement, art inspired by Zen

The second is a concept design, made out of wood and Corian:

Put one of these on your wall and see what kind of comments you get.
