These unique radiators from Dutch designer Guus Van Leeuwen were presented at the Dutch Design Week held at the Design Academy Eindhoven this autumn. According to Dezeen, the radiators are covered with a removable wheat-filled animal skin to absorb their heat.
Traditional radiators are often quite boring, but these ‘Domestic Animal’ radiators will create instant atmosphere in any living room. These animal-shaped radiators combined with a Christmas tree or two would transform a room into an indoor holiday forest.
