Light and free like a butterfly, extending and folding like a folding screen, ORIGAMI, designed by Alberto Meda, is an electric plug&play radiator that liaises with its surroundings. In fact, it offers the possibility of separating two rooms, of preserving privacy, of enhancing the atmosphere of discretion, increasing the feeling of well-being.

The sophisticated electronic system used in Origami is operated using touch controls to switch the radiator on and off and adjust the temperature to three different degrees of intensity, therefore re-modulating energy consumption and allowing users to select the most appropriate temperature for their particular needs.

There are three versions of Origami fitting every room within the home, each one characterized by additional accessories: the free-standing version allows, fold after fold thanks to its movable modules, space to be set out like an actual folding screen; the wall-mounted version - with a single or double element – changes when needed into an elegant retractable towel rail; and, finally, the totem version is a modern reinterpretation of the magical antique Japanese art of origami, becoming a heating and self-standing decorative accessory.

Origami, the designer radiator created by Alberto Meda for Tubes, was awarded with the famous Compasso d'Oro ADI Award 2018, the most long-established industrial design award in the world, becoming now part of the history of Italian design and is enriching Italy's important heritage. 1200 products were pre-selected for the prize, 283 were submitted to the international jury, only 16 projects were awarded with the highly coveted Compasso d’Oro Award, the most authoritative award on the Italian design scene.
