If Only Costner Made WaterWall…

Posted in: ecological, Heater, Liu Zhong Liang, Shi Qiang, TOOUT Industrial Design Co. Ltd., Water Wall

… the result would have been a new ecological water heater for the bathroom! Apparently this wall integrated water storage has a coating on the glass surfaces to help absorb solar energy. This of course means that the water sandwiched between the glass panes will also get heated. Moreover the translucent glass allows natural sunlight to stream into the bathroom. So nice!

Finally, a Handsome Heater

Posted in: Heater, Radiator

The Slice hydronic radiator provides exceptional radiant heat to your home, while adding style, efficiency, and added functionality with its convenient hideaway seat. It’s a perfect supplemental heating system for mounting near drafty windows or colder areas of your home, but also makes for a great personal warmer-upper! Imagine it next to your front door where you can plop down after coming in from the cold, or having it in your bathroom as a place to sit after getting out of the shower. Do want!

Designer: Burak Kocak

Stones of Warmth

Posted in: Heater, Sangyong Park, Sooeon Kim, ST-ON

It is quite common for Koreans to use hot stones for warming themselves during harsh winters. Keeping this in mind, we have here the ST-ON concept, which is a stone warming unit for mountain climbers. When the stone-shaped units are fully charged and warm, they turn orange and start radiating heat when removed from the charging unit. They keep you warm during your mountain climb, but I reckon anyone with cold feet can use this.

Designers: Sooeon Kim and Sangyong Park

Cup Burns

Posted in: Burning Cup, Heater, Ryan Jongwoo Choi

Burning Cup offers a solution to reheating or microwaving your tepid coffee (or beverage) and losing its flavor. The cup prevents the drink from cooling down due to heat release to the outside. It uses sodium acetate to get the heat going. This what the designer says, “The sodium acetate contained in the inside of the cup design can regulate the heat of beverage. The liquid solution breaks the balance of liquid state with a tiny impact and hardens it solid, and it then generates heat momentarily.”

This heat generated by such an impact maintains the temperature of the beverage in the cup for a longer period of time. Every time you feel the beverage going a bit cold, simply crackle the sodium acetate from the outside once again and restart the heating process.
