I've never lived in a cold climate before, but if I did, I would want the Akopo Radidator in my home. This radiator was designed by Julien Bergignat and works just like a [regular radiator](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aqara-radiator-thermostat-w600) with the exception of its [portable heating pads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heated-shawl).

The Akopo Radidator can heat several pads at once that you can take with you to provide warmth while you're out and about. Currently the Akopo Radidator is still just a concept, but I'm sure once the [cold winter wind](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wati) really starts to blow Julien Bergignat will be rushing to get this radiator produced. Check it out above.
