“Sensuality and plasticity: these are the two distintive features at the basis of the design idea for the Milano radiator,” states Astori De Ponti Associati.

Tubes Radiatori has reintroduced the iconic Milano/horizontal radiator, a brand-new version of the Milano radiator family, designed by Antonia Astori and Nicola De Ponti.

Originally designed in 2006, Milano Free-standing is a steel heating body distinguished by a unique personality and maximum versatility of use since it requires no installation.

Indeed, owing to its self-supporting nature, it can be positioned anywhere in a room, thereby becoming its undisputed star.

It is electric and fitted with a special support at the base, and it stands out for its sculptural appearance, perfect for creating very effective composition solutions, to build the ideal interior design around it.

Milano Free-standing offers an extensive range of furnishing possibilities, also outside residential environments, and it is the ideal feature to add a touch of artistic elegance to any setting.

The superior degree of innovation in the design of Milano has been confirmed by the curators of the Die Neue Sammlung – The International Design Museum Munich, who have selected it for their permanent design collection.

Among the objects that surround us, some survive eras and also travel places. We never tire of their shape, their colors do not fade as the years go by.

They do not need subtitles, because they stand out immediately.

They are specific, and easily recognized accordingly.

They live in our homes, and that is where they find their natural dimension.

Besides, an object is universal when it does not stop at its first design, but rather mutates, reinforcing its message.

Tubes has led the evolution of t its most successful products, presenting them in an innovative electric version that meets the needs of contemporary life.

To emphasize their pliability, Tubes decided to launch Milano again proving its versatile soul once again.
