One of my first projects at HUUM: accessories for heaters that were already in production. The DROP railing came first — DROP is the most recognisable heater in the range.

The challenge: not to take attention away from the heater itself, yet be as minimal and as sturdy as possible. The brackets are flushed and the screws are hidden; the materials are oak and stainless steel, with the logo cut into the side.

The same idea carried over to the other heaters — STEEL and CLIFF safety railings, the embedded flange. Nothing that contradicts the heater's main lines: every metal support stays flushed.
