About Coral Rheiddiadur Trydan

Mae Coral yn rheiddiadur trydan wedi'i wneud yn gyfan gwbl o alwminiwm. Cynhyrchwyd y ffurf gyda meddalwedd dylunio parametrig, a dyfodd gromlin gaeedig gyda pherimedr estynedig iawn. Mae'r perimedr hir yn codi'r allbwn thermol ac yn taenu gwres yn gyfartal dros yr arwyneb cyfan. Mae'r ddalen alwminiwm 8 mm yn cael ei thorri â laser ac yna ei melino ar gyfer y system wresogi drydan, ac mae'r trwch yn helpu'r rheiddiadur i ddal y tymheredd a gyrhaeddir. Cynigir Coral mewn fformat petryal a fformat crwn. Mae cymhwysiad pwrpasol yn gosod y dyddiau a'r amseroedd gweithredu, cyflymder y gwresogi a'r tymheredd.

The Recognition

About the Gwobr Arian A' Design Award

Mae Coral Rheiddiadur Trydan yn enillydd Gwobr Arian A' Design Award, cydnabyddiaeth hynod fawreddog a roddir i ddyluniadau o'r radd uchaf, hardd a thrawiadol. Mae enillwyr Arian yn weithiau tra disglair a hynod greadigol sydd yn darlunio arbenigedd, dawn a chraffter rhagorol eu dylunwyr. Disgwylir i Coral Rheiddiadur Trydan fod yn waith gwych ac esiampl, yn nodedig o broffesiynol ac yn ddwfn arloesol. Mae'r dyluniad buddugol hwn o Wobr Arian A' Design Award yn ddyfais hynod nodedig a edmygir sydd yn elwa ac yn symud ymlaen ffiniau celf, gwyddoniaeth, dylunio a thechnoleg. Mae Coral Rheiddiadur Trydan yn greadigaeth y cenfigennir wrthi yn eang, sydd yn deffro dyheadau, yn cyflwyno teimladau cadarnhaol ac yn cynnau rhyfeddod a syndod.

Unique Properties: High-performance electric radiators, made entirely of aluminum, can be controlled with the management app which allows you to set times and days of ignition, heating speed and temperature.
Coral radiators have been designed using a "Form Finding" approach, which, by exploiting parametric modeling, allows the search for new geometric expressions.

Coral's innovative characters are:
Use of generative parametric software,
Operation management via app,
Single material product,
High percentage of recyclability,
Wide palette of finishes.
Dimensions & Packaging: Coral is offered in two formats, the 480X50X1480mm rectangular, which can be installed both vertically and horizontally, and the 800mm diameter circular one.
Tags: radiator, electric radiator, coral, parametric, design, made in Italy, aluminium, app
Production Technology: 8mm thick aluminum sheet, shaped with laser cutting, subsequent processing by CNC milling machine for the electric heating system.
Use of parametric software AAD (Algorithms-Aided Design) for design generation.
Design Challenge: The challenge was to "design" the algorithm to generate the radiator shape. Since we were focused on the goal of defining the longest perimeter, but without neglecting the aesthetics of the product, we carefully calibrated the parameters to generate the final shape, a balance between function and aesthetics.
Research: A live physics simulator was used to generate the constant growth of a closed curve while maintaining its continuity. The goal was to define elements with an extremely extended perimeter, to generate a high thermal output and propose a distinctive aesthetic.
Inspiration: Inspired by the research of generative systems applications, the Coral radiators are proposed as a meeting point between design and nature within our homes.
As in corals that weld sediments together and give rise to ever longer branches, a live physics simulator was used to generate the constant growth of a closed curve while maintaining its continuity. The goal was to define elements with an extremely extended perimeter, to generate a high thermal output and propose a distinctive aesthetic.

Coral, an example of how the evolution of man through technology is resolved in the forms of nature.
Project Duration: The project started in April 2020 in Rome and finished in December 2020 in Prato.
Operation Flow: Coral is programmable via a dedicated app, which allows you to set times and days of ignition, heating speed and temperature.
The particular shape generated with AAD software, allows optimal heat distribution over the entire surface and optimizes the heat diffusion capacity in the room.
The high thickness of the aluminum sheet determines a greater maintenance of the reached temperature.
