The humble space heater is an essential wintertime appliance for staying warm but often maintains a utilitarian aesthetic that is anything but stylish, so this 'Folding Heater' concept aims to change this.
Designed by Wenhua Xu and 托迪 设计, the heater maintains a pill-shaped construction that is easy to store when not in use or carry around the house. The unit can be expanded up to position it at virtually any angle to ensure heating is provided right where it's needed most.
The 'Folding Heater' concept is paired with a touch-sensitive round display that will provide real-time temperature readings along with toggle buttons for changing the settings. The unit is imagined in a variety of finish options to help it blend in or pop in a space.
