GRID investigates the relationship between surface and heat, seeking a new grammar for interior radiators within the elementary geometry of the circle. Inspired by the equipped toolboards found in workshops and laboratories, the perforated panel becomes a visual and functional element, combining tidiness, aesthetic modularity and minimal rigour. The new radiator designed by Elisa Ossino presents as a thin plate of geometric elegance. While maintaining its primary function of providing warmth and comfort, it transforms into a dynamic surface capable of accommodating accessories and everyday objects. Shelves, hooks and ledges are not merely tools, but graphic signs that establish a dialogue with the space, conferring a new identity upon the bathroom. The object stands as a reinvention of a daily ritual, where minimalism and functionality coexist through simple thought, revealing the character of the space with a distinct personality.

The surface of the panel is defined by a pattern of cut-out circles with a soft, calibrated profile. These are not simple openings, but design elements that define the graphic rhythm of the surface and serve as the attachment points for accessories. Each circle is defined by a gradual perimeter radius that generates a softened, controlled indentation. To achieve this result, Tubes developed specific equipment capable of executing a complex manufacturing process that represents one of the identifying elements of the project.

Designed as a versatile element, GRID adapts to various contexts and architectural requirements. In its sleek shape, without accessories, it serves as a living room radiator with a minimal graphic signature. With the addition of accessories, it transforms into an accessorised heated towel rail for the bathroom, expanding its utility. It can be installed both vertically and horizontally, offering further compositional freedom and facilitating placement in various settings, such as above a bathtub. The accessories – circular hooks in two sizes, linear hooks, shelves and towel rails – are made of metal and can be painted in any of the 140 RAL colours in the Tubes colour chart, or in any of the 15 special galvanic finishes: satin finish, brushed, glossy or matt. This wide variety allows GRID to be easily matched with other elements in the room, such as taps and bathroom accessories, creating consistent and highly customised compositions. For the first time, Tubes also introduces a mirror, which completes the system and expands its possibilities of use.

Through this system, the radiator becomes a configurable surface where accessories can be freely positioned, allowing designers and users to build the final composition according to their specific needs at the time of installation.
