Tubes Add-on, modularity and design in the world of radiators

From the genius of the Tubes designers in 2004 the Add-on collection is presented, characterized by the unmistakable modularity of its structure. Thanks to the central element of 12x24cm, it is possible to create completely customizable radiators giving rise to heterogeneous creative solutions: free or defined forms, square or rectangular form.

Its best application is the wall integration (intra-wall) that allows you to create a heating wall, useful both in the bathroom and in any other room of your home.

Designer

Add-on is a creation of Satyendra Pakhalé, born in India in 1967. He trained as a designer at the prestigious IIT - Indian Institute of Technology in Bombay and later at the Art Center College of Design Europe in Switzerland. He founded his studio in Amsterdam in 1998 and has worked with various brands to create design elements for homes.

“I have devised a system based on a module developing in two directions thanks to four shake sides that make it possible to “add on” other modules (hence the name “add-On”) and thus create an infinite radiator”. Satyendra Pakhalé

The materials

The priority of Tubes is to create a non-toxic product, free of heavy metals. The painting is carried out at 200° C with thermosetting powders in polyester resins of 90/130micron thickness. The treatment of the metal is made in a very modern plant, built in 2010, which does not produce sludge and waste water and is fed with low temperature water; all this allows a considerable reduction of CO2 emissions into the atmosphere.
