satyendra pakhalé and tubes radiatori have collaborated on the design of ‘kangeri nomadic radiator’, a mobile unit that can be moved freely through a domestic or office setting, immediately creating a comfortable zone of warmth. available in both white and black, the heating device’s main body is made from aluminum and features a platform crafted from oak wood at its top, which is integrated as a handle. its namesake makes a cultural reference to the personal radiator used for centuries in northern india called a ‘kanger’ — a pot filled with hot embers kept by kashmiri people beneath their traditional clothing to keep warm. a legend describes that the object actually originated from italy and traveled to kashmir; to celebrate this cultural connection, the name has become ‘kangeri’.
pakhalé envisions a product that not only addresses functionality but also evokes symbolic meanings and sensorial qualities to enhance our embodied relationship with the objects surrounding us. ‘my curiosity led me to create a contemporary object for warming up the space closely surrounding the user that applies the technology of today and brings back poetic imagination to an object of utility‘, pakhalé explains.
