For centuries tiled stoves have occupied a permanent place in the history of European culture. This old device for warming an interior space was an important piece of equipment helping in the survival in a cold climate. Nowadays cities are removing heating devices burning solid fuel and replacing them with radiators. It is generally recognised that use of solid fuels for heating is a major cause
of air pollution. However, it has been established that warmth radiated from the tiled stove is healthier than the convection warmth of modern heating.
It’s a kind of „slow heat” that
is naturally more pleasurable
to the human organism.
The outside of the box idea figuratively and literally, was to unravel the stove on the wall’s surface and combine traditional grog tiles with the electric heater. This way we can keep the traditional and tackle the problem of air pollution.
