A Modern Reinterpretation of a Traditional Product

A traditional method of heating a home was by using a Brazier, however, these charcoal-burning devices are both impractical and unsafe for use within the modern home due to the release of smoke and ashes. The Home Warmer is a modern reinterpretation of the Brazier, which warms the room whilst simultaneously retaining the social-element that is so iconic with the traditional Brazier.

This beautiful electric heater has a welcoming aesthetic, that has been created through the introduction of soft-touch, flame retardant fabric that covers a rounded form. Not only does this generate a distinctive look, but it also ensures that the device complements the existing furniture within the room.

Intuitive and straight-forward controls have been paired with a simple interface, which are both present on the top of the device; this leads to hassle-free and quick operation. Large, leather handles positioned on either side of the device invite the user to pick it up and move it to a place where both communication and room-temperature are at a low!

A Washing Machine for One!

One-bedroom apartments and small terrace houses can be very limited when it comes to space, so making the most of every possible square foot is vital. For this reason, a large and bulky appliance such as a laundry machine isn’t an appropriate use of the space, and on top of that a large washing machine possibly isn’t efficient for just the one person!

The Drawasher could be the product to solve these issues! Its compact design disguises itself as a set of draws, leading to a design that doesn’t look at all out of place in any room. The intuitive touchscreen interface that is positioned on the face of the draw allows for confusion-free operation.

The dirty laundry is placed into the area which, in conventional set of draws, would hold the clean laundry and the empty space below lends itself to the drying and storage of the laundry. It’s just such an efficient use of space!
