Radiator of Aran
Radiator that looks like an Aran Sweater [no "radiator" sub-heading :-( ] | |
There are numerous opportunities to
convert the humble radiator into an
object
of desire. The Radiator of Aran is
designed to appeal to those who like all
things twee, warm and Irish. Like the
sweater it
resembles, it comes in any size, pattern
variation and colour.
Admittedly, its
manufacture is complex,
with the strands of wool being replaced
by
hundreds of yards of micro-bore tubing,
but happily there is also a cheaper
version.
This takes the form of a cast iron,
enamel
finish cover, that bolts unto the front of a
conventional
matrix of pipes. (in the winter, steam
may be seen rising from the neck area,
under which the control valves are
located)

From the title, I was thinking of a knitted Radiator Cozy - perhaps in Tartan - it would stop you burning yourself when leaning against a hot radiator - and look quite nice too. |
|
| |
I do like the link between the piping on an Aran sweater and the ridges and flanges found on a typical home radiator. |
|
| |
xenxag, can you make something like the depicted sweater, but with tubes and hinges so that the arms move? People could get a nice warm hug from their radiator when they come in out of the freezing cold. |
|
| |
(not my drawing) but anyway the
general answer is "Yes" to the
suggestion for moveable, hugging arms
[Jutta]. Naturally this increases the
complexity, but that pleases me even
more. |
|
| |
I'm sure that sound of gulls wheeling
overhead can also be incorporated into
the general heating up sounds. (the
Arans have a lot of gulls) |
