POP ART RADIATORS

Quotations

For enquiries into POP, contact sales@eskimodesign.co.uk

At Eskimo we’re known for our stunning finishes and our radiators are often referred to as pieces of functional art or art radiators, because our hidden valve mechanism allows a finish to hang uninterrupted.

So we thought, how about we take that nice reference as our first point of design? But even with some of our most exciting finishes i.e Gong, Rusty or Supermirror, their presence can still be quiet, blending beautifully with the interior styling cues that surround the radiators.

So we thought, why don’t we get a little loud on this occasion? The danger with designing a technologically robust radiator as a ‘piece of art’ though, is that you could take this literally and create something terribly tacky, diluting the point of innovation and, importantly, ending up with something that is just a little short of originality.

Art Radiators

So with our ‘arty farty’ jaunty hats on, just as Warhol collaborated with Basquiat and Pollock collaborated with Beaton – Eskimo collaborated with Mirrl.

POP is a pop art inspired six colour resin surface. Designed and created as a piece of functional, heated ART. Bursting with lemon yellow, navy blue, baby pink, white, post box red, and tangerine orange.

Development

Mirrl’s origins are in Japan. Co-founder Simon Harlow lived and worked there over fifteen years ago and during that period he came across heirloom objects decorated with an exquisite pattern. He began to look into the origins of the decorative style and discovered it was made using an increasingly rare six hundred year old technique called Tsugaru Nuri. Having seen what the Japanese laquer artists could achieve, he started to try out different techniques back home in Glasgow using resin and colour. After considerable experimentation he created the surface pattern, Mirrl. A solid surface material, hand crafted and using unique organic patterns with multiple colourways. Different usages, techniques and thicknesses have been developed over time to arrive at the optimum material. With great care and using local skills and talents Mirrl’s workshop is a hub of movement, sound and colour. The skilled process involves producing multiple patterned layers of tinted resin in different tones or colours on to birch plywood. It takes time, patience and skill to make each unique piece.

Price

POP is designed & created as a piece of heated ART. The time taken and the skill involved equates to a higher price tag, as expected with beautiful interior pieces. Various sizes and orientations such as squares can be produced for you on a 10 week timeline. Prices on request.
