Grid radiator by Elisa Ossino for Tubes
Dezeen Showroom: Italian brand Tubes and designer Elisa Ossino bring an echo of the workshop tool board to heating design with their electric Grid radiator.
Taking the form of a thin panel of perforated aluminium, Grid combines "tidiness, aesthetic modularity and minimal rigour", according to Tubes.
Its geometric surface turns the radiator into an architectural element while serving as an attachment point for optional accessories like shelves or hooks – a feature that is particularly practical in the bathroom.
"The object is a reinvented everyday ritual, where warmth meets geometric elegance," said Ossino. "Minimalism, functionality and personality coexist in a project designed for those seeking distinctive contemporary design."
Grid's deceptively simple design involved the creation of new manufacturing equipment that could achieve the softened, controlled indentation of the cut-out circles.
The radiator is made of recycled and recyclable aluminium, entirely from an Italian supply chain, and is available in a choice of 140 RAL colours.
Grid's catalogue of accessories includes hooks, shelves, towel rails and, for the first time, a small mirror.
