Absolutely Wonderful.

This is my favorite post of the week. Dutch designer, Guus Van Leeuwen created these radiators based on animal shapes at the Design Academy Eindhoven graduation show. He used steel tubes to create the shape of the animals, and then they are given a skin that represent them. The skin attracts you yo to get near and touch, warming you up as you feel them. The tails of the animals can easily be connected to the central heating system. I still don't entirely comprehend how these magnificent things actually work, but I adore them.
