Zehnder – Form & Function: A standout design
needs to do more than just look good By Jackie Kilgallon, Showroom Manager at indoor climate solutions provider, Zehnder Group UK
T
he world of interior design naturally tracks and flows to the trends of the time – be it style and form, or colour and pattern, but when it comes to the home, one design element always stands out over the rest: functionality.
Any practical application installed into a home must perform in both look and technical performance – radiators and towel rails are no exception. Radiators are no longer seen as mere functional devices to keep rooms warm and modern radiators are now designed to be more than just heat emitters. Now decorative radiators have evolved to become an interior design component as well as providing innovative high performance.
The majority of customers who walk into our heating showroom, be it end users, architects, interior designers or installers, aren’t sure of what they want, but know they need the latest in innovative technology coupled with design. They have ideas, like a colour pallet or fabric swatch, that helps to influence their thinking, but when it comes to functionality, we always start with the specification of the room and what a heating solution needs to deliver. From this point, the design elements become the personal choice of the customer – and every single one is different. Interestingly, when it comes to radiators, timeless and classic designs are chosen time and time again for both modern and traditional-style homes, such
as the Zehnder Charleston multi-column. This may be in part due to its design versatility. The sections within this durable, steel-tube radiator can be added or removed during manufacturing, allowing for length and height adjustments, even embracing curves, which opens unlimited possibilities for custom shapes and sizes. This flexibility not only ensures a perfect fit, but also adds a distinctive touch to a space allowing for a touch of style rather than purely delivering on function.
By creating the height, width, and depth to suit the space, we can ensure optimal heat output and an ideal fit for customers as well as colour matching finishes with over 2,000 colour options, which complement the design of a room flawlessly and create a consistent look.
We’re also seeing customers favouring radiators that subtly blend into the form of a room, such as our Zehnder Blok and Zehnder Lissett designs. These larger, aluminium panel radiators boast
graceful lines and clean, utilitarian shapes to effortlessly fit into a functional kitchen or bathroom. With a selection of carefully curated exclusive aluminium finishes, these products are a popular choice for design-conscious homeowners or designers seeking both elegance and efficiency. With so much choice available, it is often difficult for customers to differentiate on style alone. A truly innovative solution, especially when it comes to radiators and towel rails, stands out as an impeccable design when it works, as well as looking good, and this can only be achieved by expertly understanding the need of the space its filling.
