Power Plant from Bisque Radiators

01-12-plant2.jpgOkay, now that it's cold out, who wants to see a cool radiator? The Power Plant from UK radiator manufacturer Bisque is like nothing we've seen before. It's an electric radiator that has the appearance of a house plant.

We kind of like this radiator-in-disguise approach. What do you think? -regina

An electric radiator that looks like a houseplant? I'd like to see my friend's cat try to mark his territory on that thing.

Pretty, but those spikes look scary and dangerous to me. I wouldn't have one around children or accident prode adults (like myself).

Love it! What a find!

Cool! Looks like a sculpture.

Eek. I'd be afraid of someone falling on it.

Bad design.

if you look at the site they are 2 meters high, which is roughly 6 1/2 feet, so the impaling issue probably isn't that much of one

I think they're pretty damn cool myself

very cool looking. but 6 1/2 feet tall? that's huge! would never fit in my tiny apt.

It looks like flora from another planet

With the pink background, it reminds me of a houseplant on the set of a 1960's Star Trek episode.

It looks like play-doh being squished out of the string-maker toy that the doh comes with. Cool!

Ohhh, so they're not short spikes I can impale myself on, but tall spikes I can fall against, searing permanent bar brands into my back? That's MUCH better!

It's probably not that physically hot, I'd hope.

Sometimes a radiator should just be a radiator. They are fairly invisible to most people.

I think it's more design frendly compared to other radiators I've seen in my numerous apartments from my childhood. Although, I'm sure it's not kid safe. All in all, it's a great idea!

I dig it! And Moxie, surely you must mean the much beloved Play Doh Fuzzy Pumper series of toys. :)

I can totally see my cats re-enacting Vlad The Impaler on that thing.

I like the idea, but think it's executed much better in Droog's ceramic one.

One of these will make an appearance in a near-future CSI episode. Probably NY, since the other 2 are in warm climates.
