Pretty sure that you already know that Birmingham has quite an impressive history when it comes to manufacturing? Referred to as the first manufacturing town in the World, if you were kicking about in 1791, Birmingham was a major player in the Industrial Revolution. We have a predilection for the city. Not only because our Lead Engineer Designer, and founder of Eskimo, Phil Ward hails from there. Since 2001, we have been manufacturing our beautiful designer radiators from there and...

Who loves London's Battersea Power Station? We do. The Art Deco architecture fills us with joy whenever we pass by its Herculean, yet glamorous, presence. It's clear that Eskimo's Product Design Engineers, were hugely inspired by the Power Station's form, as soon as you are introduced to the feet, designed for our floor mounted Column radiators. Eskimo already design beautiful, simplistic, clean lined legs for our floor mounted RON radiator range, Leggy RON. But this time, we felt that Column’s form required...

Yes. Yes we are electric, but why choose our electric radiators and towel rails over other available options? We spent over 2 years in research and development of our Outline “dry electric” modular heating element. Coupling a high efficiency, natural convection aluminium heat exchanger to a powerful electric resistance heating element, the design has been honed to provide the maximum heat output within the space envelope available without resorting to noisy and impossible to clean fans or the very high...

Why are we called eskimo?

So why are we called eskimo? It’s a slightly convoluted tale of family, music, second chances, and the brilliance of a name. The turn of the 21st century was a great time for music. It was also a great time for radiators. Back then the founder of eskimo, Phil Ward, was involved in both, simultaneously DJ'ing, running a record label and running the family engineering business whilst the concept of making radiators that also looked good was just a twinkle in his youthful...

Interior space is so precious when designing what sits within it. Eskimo design and make radiators as pieces of interior product design. So radiators no longer have to be ugly, they can blend, they can pop, be quiet or loud - but always, beautiful. However even if you have a very large scheme to play with, you may still struggle to find an aesthetically pleasing arrangement with regards to your wall space and where to hang your radiators. Often, vastly...

Panel radiators are everywhere aren't they? But if you look closely, there really is a difference in the finer detail and that's what great design is all about. Eskimo radiators are designed with a focus on clean lines, technical reliability and intelligence. No unnecessary frippery. 'Form over function' is nowhere to be seen and simplicity of form is a thing of beauty, not a design failure. There is nothing more pleasing than the clean lines of our original Outline radiators. A modular...

Design is one of the most powerful influences in our lives. Inspiring, empowering, enlightening. And whether we realise it or not, it's countless adroitly designed products, symbols and experiences flood our daily existence.  Our perceptions of the world are built on multiple senses. They interact to help us make sense of our surroundings, so a car will seem to be traveling faster if it makes a lot of noise. And whether we want to buy such a car, a vacuum cleaner...
