On a cold winter's night, there's nothing like feeling the warmth of a radiator in your room, and the Canoon Heater goes to the extra effort of pleasing your sense of smell and sight as well.
Your typical space heater is generally unattractive, but this design by Younes Duret is inspired by Moroccan lattice detailing and embodies softness to its core. The smooth form mimics an egg, open to expel hot air and provide a place to warm scented pillows. A collection of tiny cushions filled with cherry pits have an aromatic potpourri effect that calms through your olfactory glands, but these soft squares can also be used for aches and pains on your body. The Canoon Heater is further enhanced with its touch operation and colorful glow, which indicates its temperature.
