Origami

Origami

2016
Operation mode: Plug&Play
Light and free like a butterfly, extending and folding like a folding screen, ORIGAMI, designed by Alberto Meda, is an electric plug&play radiator that liaises with its surroundings. In fact, it offers the possibility of separating two rooms, of preserving privacy, of enhancing the atmosphere of discretion, increasing the feeling of well-being.

The sophisticated electronic system used in Origami is operated using touch controls to switch the radiator on and off and adjust the temperature to three different degrees of intensity, therefore re-modulating energy consumption and allowing users to select the most appropriate temperature for their particular needs. 

There are three versions of Origami fitting every room within the home, each one characterized by additional accessories: the free-standing version allows, fold after fold thanks to its movable modules, space to be set out like an actual folding screen; the wall-mounted version - with a single or double element – changes when needed into an elegant retractable towel rail; and, finally, the totem version is a modern reinterpretation of the magical antique Japanese art of origami, becoming  a heating and self-standing decorative accessory.

 

Origami is an electric radiator that has received several major acknowledgements: the Salone del Mobile.Milano Award as best product/bathroom sector 2016, the Archiproducts Design Award as Best of Category 2016 in the Bathroom category, the Good Design Award 2016, the Design Plus powered by ISH 2017, the Red Dot Design Award 2017, the German Design Award 2018 in the Bath and Wellness category, is finalist at the DesignEuropa Awards 2018 and, after being selected for the publication in the ADI Design Index 2017, it received the XXV Compasso d'Oro ADI 2018.
