MENTAL RADIATOR
3 Oct 2006 17:12
This radiator proves that decoration and functionality do not have to be mutually exclusive. For a good heat exchange one needs a large surface area. It is exactly this which is provided by the baroque-like design. Joris Laarman has succeeded in finding a style which couldn't be further from pure functionalism: 'So it was possible for me to design an apparently functionless object which in reality was a wonderfully functional radiator, while design objects which are unequivocally functional often do not work as they should.'
