Concept
Step-by-Step has a solid aluminium body with a surface broken up into pleated elliptical modules. The observer’s look determines its beauty: depending on the point of view, the perspective changes the object’s shape. Games of light and shadow rouse ever different emotions. The overlapping elements are like pages of a book perused gently and they afford a vibrant sense of motion.
The radiator can be installed individually or side-by-side with another, thereby creating four possible configurations. The modules can in fact both be directed towards the left or both towards the right, or in two opposite directions and when combined with the available heights, make a generous twenty different combinations possible. Furthermore, thanks to its limited protrusion of just 7.8 cm from the wall, Step-by-Step is ideal for furnishing confined spaces, as it saves space too.
Technology is present but entirely hidden. Not even a scrupulous examination from the side will reveal visible technical components such as supports or unions. Step-by-Step is a clean, slimline, linear object that rests gracefully against the wall, achieving impeccable clean-cut shapes.
Heating occurs both by radiation through direct heat exchange, as well as by natural convection through the hot air circulating from the bottom up.Step-by-Step is available in the hydraulic, electric and mixed versions, the latter combining both technologies.
Step-by-Step is naturally suitable for the bathroom thanks also to the addition of its accessories. The towel-rail and the hook allow users to hang up bath towels, bathrobes and hand towels, blending in seamlessly with the design without forgetting about everyday practicality. Both accessories are available coloured, or glossy or satin finish chromed.
