TURNING UP THE HEAT
Ideas and inspiration from the world of design
One of eight new designs that make up the Black Label Design Collection by Italian heating brand Fondital, the Daphne radiator is a unique home heating solution designed by two of Fondital’s in-house designers.
The exclusive radiator collection was previewed at Mostra Convegno Expocomfort (MEC) in Milan, Italy when the trade fair for heating, cooling, ventilation and air- conditioning took place in 2010. Daphne gives a sculptural feel to the female form, whilst masculine Kroisos represents the masculine equivalent.

TAPPING INTO
LIGHTING DESIGN As everybody knows, water and electricity are a dangerous combination, so under normal circumstances, mixing plumbing with electrics is not really advisable. However, Jan Schreiner, a Russian designer based in Germany, has used the two for inspiration for a new concept lighting design.
GROUND-BREAKING
FLOORING DesignTaleStudio is the creative laboratory of Italian ceramic tile manufacturer Ceramiche Refin, a company that is big on research and experimentation with ceramic tiles. The latest product to come out of the studio is a tile called Terraviva designed by Massimiliano Adami, whose work falls on the boundary of art and design.
The inspiration for the new tile comes from the earth. He explains that the cracks that are present help to bring a sense of nature back into the residential interior and serve as a reminder than no material can escape the effects of the passage of time.

The Spout lamp is a freestanding light designed to look like an over-sized tap. When the tap is turned light comes pouring out and gets more intense the more you turn.
