# Compact Patio Heaters 'Feel the Heat' is Designed to Keep Patios Open Year-Around By Michael Hines | Published 2011-08-03 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/feel-the-heat References: [tuvie](http://www.tuvie.com/feeltheheat-outdoor-heater-by-bilgehan-keceli/) Feel the Heat is a conceptual heater designed for restaurants and other public places that traditionally use heat lamps to keep their patios open in the colder months. Feel the Heat was designed by Bilgehan Keçeli and features an easy to use interface and compact size. Using Feel the Heat requires you only to be able to understand the basic workings of an on/off switch and a temperature controller to experience its warming effect. The concept would be the perfect replacement for the traditional heat lamps that seem to do a great job of keeping everything but the air immediately around you hot. The future is looking pretty warm right about now. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.7/10 - Popularity: 11% | Activity: 1% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Compact Heating Solutions for Outdoor Spaces:** Opportunity for businesses in the hospitality and event industries to offer comfortable outdoor experiences year-round with innovative, energy-efficient and space-saving heaters. - **User-friendly Heating Systems:** Opportunity for designers and manufacturers to simplify heating systems with an easy-to-use interface, reducing costs and improving user experience. - **Sustainable and Energy-efficient Heating Solutions:** Opportunity to design and market energy-efficient and sustainable heating solutions that are beneficial to the environment and lead to cost savings for businesses in various industries. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Hospitality:** Compact patio heaters can enhance guest comfort and experience for restaurants, cafes, and hotels with outdoor seating areas. - **Outdoor Events:** Innovative heating solutions can enhance outdoor events such as weddings and concerts during colder months. - **Home Improvement:** Compact patio heaters can provide homeowners with cost-effective, sustainable, and energy-efficient heating solutions for outdoor living spaces. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Design-Conscious Space Heaters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folding-heater.md) - [Flame-Resembling Outdoor Heaters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bonflame.md) - [Design-Conscious Connected Heaters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/compact-electric-heater.md) - [Industrially Designed Outdoor Heaters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tower-patio-heater.md) - [Portable Plug-In Heaters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cozypod.md) - [Modernized Ceramic Heaters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/delonghi-capsule-desk-loop.md) - [Communal Fireplace Coffee Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hearth-coffee-table.md) - [Electric Infrared Wall Heaters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/boldr-kelvin.md) - [Fabric Heating Concept](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moritz-walter.md)
