The 'Degre' is a radiator heating system created by industrial designers Tim Defleur and Benjamin Helle from the Accent design studio that is a charming approach to appliance design.
The 'Degre' radiator is inspired by the look and shape of an elephant that can be placed in a space in order to provide passive heat or direct heat, depending on needs or preferences.
The 'Degre' radiator heating system can be controlled via the incorporated panel or through a smartphone in order to offer enhanced capabilities. The inviting design of the 'Degre' makes it suitable for use in a home as an ottoman to put your feet on, a seat for a child to sit on or a place to warm up blankets.
