The design of Natural Wave takes its inspiration from the heat given off by the radiator, which offers new possibilities and other practical uses.

Natural Wave exemplifies the potential of interrelations between an object and its environment. By creating new uses that arise directly from the environment, new meaning is given to ordinary, everyday objects that have been neglected. Instead of creating new individual products, which lead to material and energy wastages, the quest is to identify possibilities in the environment that could offer the potential for new products. Natural Wave utilises heat from the radiator for a food warmer tray that sits on top of the radiator.
