fire heat radiator

fire heat radiator by mike žák from slovak republic

designer's own words:

Fire-Heat-Radiator

My concept is based on symbolism of most radical and most simple example of heat source, on fire. Fire is aggressive, it can be painful, it can harm us but still fire is an object of our interest. It is very nostalgic and relaxing. Humanity needs the fire to produce everything and fire is also a very strong symbol expressing “victory of humanity in fight to survive”.

This radiator looks very warm in its very essence despite of being made out of steel. The layered flames remind us of real fireplace so we can have our own fireplace without having the fire in flats…

Whole body contains three different boxes created from two same plates which can be very quickly cut by plotter machine. These plates are connected all around by welding method. Water is being delivered between these two plates under the pressure by tubes so it makes its own place itself. All process of factoring is than very cheap and fast.
