We’ve heard of ceiling fans, lamps hanging from the ceiling and even books. An Italy based firm Ad Hoc has come up with something unique and innovative – home radiators that not only look stylish and add up to the décor of a room, but hang from the ceiling.
Aesthetics in making radiators décor friendly have undergone enormous effort in the recent years. Ad Hoc’s effort takes it to a new level altogether.
The radiators are meant to make the living space a symbol of authentic and harmonious domestic universe. The ultimate balance is between keeping it trendy and utilitarian as well. Tiki radiator as it is called, blends into a modern home in its minimalist make up. The shape is cylindrical, with a visual appeal and intricate finish. Tiki radiators are available in satin or white finish.
The metal radiator may well go on to turn the centerpiece of your home, thanks to its unique suspension feature. It is so oblivious and yet can attract attention that it resembles a hanging lamp shade. The heating element hangs in mid-air. The designer is Carlo Martino.

Sometimes we feel very hungry while we are at work but it’s always not convenient to go to the office pantry and nibble on some food. This is even worse in the case of a sedentary job where one literally plunks himself/herself hours together without eating anything. Emili Manrique designs a table, which is used both as work and dinner table.
The flat surface almost a square shape table has different tiny sections to place a laptop, pen stand, notebooks, files, etc and, on the other side it has an eating space as well. So, you can work and eat on the same table simultaneously. The idea is not bad but it’s not professional to eat at the office work desk. It’s work and not food that should be given the highest priority while in office.

There are things that are amazingly sensible and there are those that actually do not make any sense at all. Take for example this nice looking Arc which has been designed by D.K. & Wei Design. The Arc is a special and well designed shower system that not just looks good but also recycles bath water in order make the user feel less guilty.
It recycles hot water in no time, and you would not have to worry about anything except just taking the bath with water at the right temperature. However, just like someone said at Yanko Design, there is no reason why people must make such a hue and cry whe it comes to wst8ing water at the bathroom.
