Aeon
Radiator Heaven at 100% Design
Aeon
Radiator Heaven will be unveiling a collection of designs on stand C80
at this year's 100% Design Show at London's Earls Court, 20-23 September
2007, including its first furniture design - the new Abyss table. The
new designs, crafted from both brushed satin effect and mirror finish
hand polished stainless steel, have been designed with maximum energy
efficiency and heat output, unlike many contemporary designer radiators.
Also making its debut is the new Bamboo designer radiator. Taking its
design cues from bamboo shoots, the new wall mounted Bamboo has an integral
humidifier - a first in the designer radiator sector. Water is simply
poured into a stylish brushed stainless steel reservoir, integrated into
the overall design, at the base of the radiator. Evaporated water travels
from the reservoir up inside the Bamboo's stainless steel tubes and vents
at the top in a chimney effect, creating a healthy and non drying atmosphere.
It is also suitable for aromatherapy oils to be added to the water and
can improve the air quality and humidity levels in a room.
The new Abyss table for 100% Design is based on the concept of Aeon's
'Infini Mirror'. The 'Infini Mirror' was originally designed to be paired
with some of Aeon's upright radiator designs. By enlarging the 'Infini
Mirror', fitting it with a strong glass top with overhang, and designing
a complementary table base in brushed stainless steel, Aeon has created
a table which gives the effect of looking through the table into infinity,
hence the name Abyss. The effect is created with carefully positioned
LED lighting under the glass table top. The table concept is currently
available to order enabling customers to specify the exact shape or size
to suit their needs, and is suitable for both private and commercial sectors.
Another
new for 2007 design, Coffer, takes its name from the decorative sunken
panel in a ceiling, which it resembles. Like its namesake, it brings a
feeling of added depth to a space with its twin set of four mirror polished
stainless steel elements being recessed towards the centre. When hung
vertically Coffer can be used as a towel rail as well as a radiator. Hung
horizontally, it appears as a contemporary piece of modern art.
Influenced by the beauty and symmetry of a DNA strand and designed to
heat the largest of spaces, Speira comprises 120 individual hand-finished
brushed stainless steel blades sited precisely at 90 degrees to the next
to create a sculptural central feature in contemporary homes, offices
and hotels. LED lights luminate from the top down to the base, directing
the eye through the centre of the design, giving a continuous flow - an
almost Escher- esque quality to the intertwined semi spirals.
Siesta takes a modern twist on a design classic - the ladder style radiator.
Rather than even spacing of the 'rungs' all the way through the design,
there are three separate sets of 'rungs'. The front surface of each element
has been flattened and elongated to make the most of the brushed satin
finish stainless steel from which the radiator is made. These are also
bowed outwards slightly towards the centre, creating a very soft and elegant
feel to this new design.
'For dynamic, unbridled design and outstanding radiator functionality
make a visit to the Aeon Radiator Heaven stand, C80, at 100% Design 2007.’

Geberit
Exhibits Luxury Shower Toilet at 100% Detail
Geberit,
the supplier of sanitary, supply and drainage systems is exhibiting its
exclusive luxury shower toilet at this year's 100% Detail show.
Visitors to stand KE115 will be among the first to see the Balena 8000,
which has previously only been available in selected retailers such as
West One, in Selfridges of London.
Designed for the luxury market, manufacturer Geberit says that it has
created a stunning product in terms of both style and functionality.
The Balena 8000 is a wall-hung shower toilet, with the manufacturer recognising
the growing trend for this top-end category of toilets, and is slim-line
and modern in design.
Wall hung offers a sleek modern look, where all unsightly pipework is
hidden.
Popular amongst designers, wall-hung sanitaryware can already be found
in many new leisure establishments including hotels, bars and restaurants,
and is becoming a standard product in domestic bathrooms.
Features of the Balena 8000 include body temperature water, massage spray,
warm air dryer and air purification.
'Wellness' is a buzz word of the 2000s and the new Balena 8000 has been
designed to meet the demand for a product which offers enhanced hygiene
through nature's purest source, water.
Also on display at Geberit's exhibition stand will be the full range of
Geberit's flush plates.
Available in different styles, flush formats, colours and finishes, the
flush plate display will include the new Kappa50 dual flush plate.
As the only visible component of Duofix, Geberit's frame for wall-hung
sanitaryware, the design of the flush plate is of key consideration and
the distinctively simple Kappa50 provides an element of sophistication
to any bathroom.
Made out of diecast zinc with sleek straight lines and a gloss chrome
finish, the Kappa50 is perfect for any modern bathroom.
Other products exhibited at the Geberit stand are a series of new infra-red
taps, including the Wall Mounted HyTronic87 & 88 taps, which have
the same minimalist, square design but offer different lengths of nozzle.
Also on display will be the HyTronic85, which has a very modern, iconic
design, and the Hytronic86 which has a simple, streamlined, contemporary
aesthetic.
