Stay warm, while maintaining a beautiful Design aesthetic

This past weekend, it was almost as if there was a magnet hidden in our custom radiator cover at the Chelsea showroom...


Everyone was interested to know what exactly this beautiful piece was, and how it worked.

When we renovated last Spring, the goal was to cover this eye-sore (aka-the radiator) with something attractive. The result showcases our balance of rustic wood with industrial iron. Additionally, we wanted to make a nod to the warm hearth and mantle, which is the centerpiece of most homes, but something often lost in NYC apartments that lack working fireplaces. The depth of the custom piece helped to achieve this concept, by giving us space for display. Honestly, it almost acts as a fireplace, considering the heat generated into our showroom. But, the design allows users to control the temperature, because the reclaimed teak "shutters" open and close manually.

Come by to discuss options for designing a custom radiator cover for your home or apartment. Also, we can of course produce a variety of other custom pieces as well...

See you soon!!
