There's a nostalgic charm and beauty to the look of antique radiators, which are sadly being replaced by unsightly modern appliances. Bamboo by K8 Radiatori is one of the few examples of modern heaters that can boast any aesthetic appeal whatsoever.
And it definitely does with its long clean lines and its minimal, yet fine, detailed texture. It protrudes less that 10 centimeters when mounted on the wall and comes in rectangular modules that can be arranged artistically in vertical and horizontal configurations.
The idea behind Bamboo by K8 Radiatori is that an appliance can become so much more than a machine. To be sure, the desire for half a dozen units may be a necessity for comfort, or perhaps a simple fancy for a more substantial contemporary sculpture.
