Radiators are becoming a field for sculptural exercises for the designers today: have a look at this creation by Karim Rashid for Tubor:
More a sculpture than a radiator, Klobs is available in stand-alone and in-line versions. The radiator is a tubular element containing a number of round moving parts that both radiate heat and act as towel holders
Implications - The stylish fixture is called the Klobs. It's got a cartoon-ish look due to its large, blobbed shape that looks friendly and goofy. In fact, one may even call it a sculptural piece considering how stylish it looks.
The Klobs acts both as a heater and a towel heater. For those interested, it has a stand-alone or an in-line version that's currently available for sale.
