About Coral Coral
Coral ni radiyateri y'amashanyarazi ikozwe mu buryo bwuzuye muri aluminiyumu. Iyi shusho yaremye hifashishijwe porogaramu z'igishushanyo cya parametric, zageze ku muzenguruko ufunze ufite umupaka waguye cyane. Uyu muzenguruko muremure wongera ubushobozi bw'ubushyuhe kandi ugakwiza ubushyuhe ku buryo bungana ku buso bwose. Urupapuro rwa aluminiyumu rufite ubugari bwa milimetero 8 ruciwe hifashishijwe laser hanyuma rugasyaswa kubera sisitemu y'ubushyuhe bw'amashanyarazi, kandi ubugari bwarwo bufasha radiyateri kubika ubushyuhe yagezeho. Coral iboneka mu buryo bwa mpandekazi hamwe n'ubwa ruziga. Porogaramu yihariye ishyiraho iminsi n'amasaha yo gukora, umuvuduko w'ubushyuhe n'ubushyuhe ubwabwo.
About the Igihembo cya A' Design Award cya Ifeza
Coral Coral ni uwegukanye Igihembo cya A' Design Award cya Ifeza, ishimwe ridasanzwe ry'agaciro gakomeye ritangwa ku bishushanyo byo ku rwego rwo hejuru, byiza kandi bikora ku mutima. Abegukanye Ifeza ni ibihangano by'ubuhanga bukomeye kandi bifite guhanga kwinshi, bigaragaza ubuhanga bwimbitse, impano n'ubushishozi bw'ababihanze. Coral Coral biteganyijwe ko izaba igihangano cy'icyitegererezo, gifite ubunyamwuga bukomeye n'udushya twimbitse. Iki gishushanyo cyegukanye Ifeza ni igihangano kizwi kandi gishimwa, gifasha kugura imbibi z'ubuhanzi, ubumenyi, ubushushanyo n'ikoranabuhanga. Coral Coral ni igihangano benshi bifuza, gikangura ibyifuzo, gitanga amarangamutima meza kandi gitera igitangaza.
Press Kit
- 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. - Image Credits
