The colder weather is beginning to set in, at least in my city of Edinburgh, so naturally my thoughts turned to heating.

Japanese design director Naoto Fukasawa of Plus Minus Zero, has produced these beautifully simple and modest infrared electric heaters. Made from steel polypropylene resin, measuring H310.0 x W330.0 x D165.0 mm and weighing a mere 1.5 kg, the smooth corned design of these heaters are simple in form and function. Featuring an easy three-step rotary selector switch; 800W (strong), 400W (weak) and off, they are available in a range of colours including light brown, beige, red, brown, pink and grey.

Plus Minus Zero have also recently designed the infrared electric heaters with a steam feature, which offer a similar design in terms of its smooth corners, but vary in size and power. If anyone has bought one of these heaters, please share your experience.
