Sun-like warmthThe waves of the Clima 2000 TLS heat wave heater from Ewt beam directly onto those in the vicinity and ensure a comfortable climate, since they do not dry the air out. This source of warmth is particularly suitable for those susceptible to allergies and families with young children. The flat design is suitable for every type of home décor. This model, which is available as either a wall or static version, can be moved around by means of carry handles and feet with additional rollers. The heater can also be used to radiate its warmth on the patio or balcony.Glen Dimplex, D-90431 Nürnberg, www.glendimplex.de Puristic designThe Avanta Vertica series of shower enclosures, which picks up the Far Eastern trend, is created from wood, stainless steel and glass. Vertical wooden framing highlights their puristic character. The “Wenge” look of the wood – dark stained oak – particularly brings out the Far Eastern flair of the design. The solid wood, which is also available in red cedar or light oak, has an oiled finish. The special “Fullshape” technique developed by Breuer ensures that the wood does not come into contact with water from the shower, hence guaranteeing a long service life.Horst Breuer, D-56566 Neuwied, www.duschkabine.comCotton with microfibresUnder its Clean-Tex brand name Milliken is offering new doormats, for which the company has developed a special yarn quality that combines cotton fibres with microfibres. The combination results in less lint forming on the mat and on a reduction of the need to clean the floor every day. The mats are hardwearing, absorbent and PVC-free. They can be washed at 40 degrees and dried in a tumble dryer. They have a non-skid back and can be cut to size without fraying at the edges.Milliken, DK-8544 Mørke, www.clean-tex.dkInflatable lampCosmocon has introduced a new product idea. It is an inflatable lamp, which is also available in other shapes, sizes and designs. It has been created both for the indoor sphere and for use out of doors as well. The light spreads through the entire body, thereby ensuring good illumination. The lamp makes just a small package, and so can be stowed away after use for the next season without taking up very much space. A foot pump is included with the lamp.Cosmocon, HK-Kowloon Bay, www.cosmocon.com
