The pipe work has a continuous flow to it,
creating an organic feel, while the vertical uprights give the design structure. Its curved shape means that any sharp features – which often act as dirt traps – are kept to a minimum. This means the Radius is kept clean and looking its best at all times. Bowman will now receive a cash prize of £1000
and, all being well, the Radius will go into production and join the Bisque range in 2020. Eagle-eyed Bisque fans may recall the last time
before all entries were judged by a panel of experts, comprising prominent interiors journalists, designers and Bisque representatives. The competition drew to a close in November
as Bisque hosted an exclusive event at London hotspot The Wolseley for the top four entrants. Over a delicious lunch of seasonal dishes, our guests mingled with the judges and members of the Bisque team before the winning design was unveiled by Bisque commercial director Allan Jones. Matthew Bowman – a freelance product
designer from Chesterfield – was crowned the winner for his ‘Radius’ model, which instantly stood out to the judges for its versatility, scalability and the fact it could be used in both classic and contemporary interiors. Its clean lines make it perfect for those after a sleek, minimalist aesthetic, yet it can also be partnered with Dado and Picture rails more commonly found in traditional properties.

Bisque invited the public to design a new model to join its repertoire. The prize model, the Archibald – designed by Italian Leo Salzedo – went on to win the 2006 designboom competition and is still one of the brand’s most iconic and instantly recognisable radiators today. Named one of the Observer’s CoolBrands three years in a row, Bisque paved the way for a radiator
revolution. Notable models include the Leaf and Cactus radiators, while partnerships with the likes of Paul Priestman kept Bisque at the forefront of cutting-edge radiator design ever since. To browse the full Bisque radiator range, please
