The energy-efficient Switchable Heater is designed to cater to different heating requirements. In a horizontal orientation the appliance can be used to heat an entire room; and when positioned vertically it directs the warm air towards the user. The heater is conveniently controlled via a smartphone app and, with a width of just 80 mm, it is perfect for space-saving use and storage. Curved lines and a tone-in-tone colour scheme give the unit an understated appearance that blends into the surroundings, whether used vertically or horizontally.
Statement by the Jury
