The bathroom has turned into a full-fledged place for relaxation, where every element completes the overall harmony of the home. In addition to designer tiles or modern sanitary ware, it is also radiators that today shape the visual identity of a space. The Zehnder Tetris radiator responds to this trend with an iconic aesthetic that reflects the dynamics of natural elements. The inspiration of mountain rivers is not only visible in its playful lines, but also permeates the interior itself – the unique internal circulation system ensures highly efficient and even heat transfer, which creates a perfect thermal backdrop in the bathroom. The innovative construction solution in the timeless Zehnder Tetris design was designed by the world-famous King & Miranda design studio with inspiration in the dynamics of mountain rivers. The rhythm of the flow, the shape of the meanders and the energy of the movement are reflected in the asymmetrical arrangement of the horizontal profiles, which in a precisely defined frame resemble a riverbed and underline the contemporary and functionally clean design. However, the inspiration from nature is not an end in itself – in addition to the appearance, it is also reflected in the function itself. «It was the energy of the mountain streams that led the designers to the idea of a unique internal circulation. The two-way counterflow inside the profiles has a fundamental effect on the efficiency of the body,» explains Miroslav Váša, product manager of Zehnder. Thanks to this sophisticated design, it reaches power from 400 W to 1 kW, which is an above-standard value for designer radiators. The result is not only reliable space heating, but also quick and deep heating of towels. Space for creativity and technical flexibility Zehnder Tetris can adapt to different types of interiors and technical requirements. It is available in several heights with a width of 50 cm or 60 cm, with the possibility of central and external connection and in hot water, combined and purely electric variants. The radiator is available in a wide range of shades, including color-matched fittings and mounting kits. In addition, the irregular distribution of the partitions allows comfortable hanging of towels from both sides, which increases comfort during everyday use. The radiator can easily replace even classic bathroom ladders designed exclusively for drying, and thanks to its durable construction made of high-quality steel with a two-layer coating, it can also withstand demanding projects and development projects. More efficient operation with smart control and a new generation of heating rods Electric variants of the radiator can be supplemented with a new generation of Zehnder heating rods according to the desired control method. Some allow regulation directly on the body or via a mobile application or remote control, so the user can easily set and plan the operation of the radiator. There are also variants color-coordinated with the radiator, which maintain a uniform appearance in the bathroom. For projects where the heating is controlled centrally, for example in hotels or larger residential buildings, a version without self-regulation, ready for connection to superior building management systems, is intended. The radiator that received an international award for design The exceptional combination of form and function was also confirmed by the expert jury of the prestigious Red Dot Design Award competition, which awarded Zehnder Tetris in the product design category in 2024. This award places the model among the world's best and confirms that a well-thought-out technical concept can go hand in hand with timeless aesthetics.
