We haven’t decided what type of heating system to install in our tiny house, it will depend on where we buy land and of course the style of the home. Having grown up in older homes with steam radiators I have always loved the warmth they provide and most of the time even loved the designs. They seemed to be part of the home rather than something that was designed as a last thought. Unfortunately radiators tend to be rather large and in a tiny house, space is precious.

So when I saw this design for a radiator, my jaw dropped, it’s a piece of art AND tiny. Fabulous.

Calorisfero gives the space a new meaning, by furnishing it with a warm personality. Steel and wood hug each other in an eternal sphere, melting matter and soul endlessly. A new way of thinking about domestic warm: simply at man’s service and his emotions.

This radiator was designed by Studio MID for Deltacalor, I’m not sure it will be available in the US, but I think I’d be willing to fly to Italy to get it. This is truly a piece that you could design your home around.
