# Ladder-Shaped Heaters Scaletta by Elisa Giovannoni Resembles Something That it's Not By Jamie Danielle Munro | Published 2014-04-30 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elisa-giovannoni References: [designboom](http://www.designboom.com/design/scaletta-elisa-giovannoni-tubes-radiatori/) Innovations when it comes to the [shape of heaters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/midea-23inch-dualflex-heater) are quite rare in the design world, but Elisa Giovannoni decided to take on the challenge with the creation of 'Scaletta.' The radiator looks like a ladder in the most literal sense, which comes in handy when one is looking for somewhere to [hang their wet clothes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spaceefficient-drying). Elisa Giovannoni tried to look at the radiator from a different angle. Instead of just accepting the current models as a device to heat the home with, she brainstormed to come up with ways so that the heater could be more of a design element. From this, she basically merged two designs together, taking the functionality of a heater, and the aesthetics of a ladder.
