I love this, but not for anything you would want to keep plugged in. This is for occasional use. There’s probably an increasing need for that. Friend comes to your house to visit, wants to charge their cell phone. Stuff like that. It would be great on a conference table, where once in a while a group of people want to sit down and plug in laptops. Or at an airport or coffee shop where people want to plug in their devices.

The wrought iron look is cool, but I’d also like to see a creeping vine design.

Looks ok but i can see me tripping over it, unless i run the thing round the back of a cabinet where a traditional extension cord would work better.

i saw your piece at the zona tortona show in the artecnica space in milan and wow! i thought it was the absolute best thing there. finally, a replacement for the ugly strip. why didn’t anyone think of it sooner, and i love the branches, just like the heater.

when will it be available, i am going to put it all over my house and give it to all my friends for christmas. can’t wait to see your next design joris. keep it up.

Pfft…Joris what have you done. Your heatwave-radiator was the perfect mix between looks and functionality. The Rococco-curves added more surface area tot the radiator wich is an excellent idea. And to make the whole product complete it was MODULAR…wow curved and modular, wasn’t easy but you pulled it off. Therefore the heatwave was a instant classic and I use it many times to explain to people what is good design…
And now I see this
The curves add no functionality to the product. On the contrary.
Its not modular…wich is a missed opportunity..Power-outlets without modularity C’mon.
What happened?…Sold your soul? Gave the assignment to some intern?
To bussy going to matinees and other posh-parties?
Please come back to the real world…I miss you
