Inspired by the research of generative systems applications, the CORAL radiators are proposed as a meeting point between design and nature within our homes.
As in corals that weld sediments together and give rise to ever longer branches, a live physics simulator was used to generate the constant growth of a closed curve while maintaining its continuity.
The goal was to define elements with an extremely extended perimeter, to generate a high thermal output and propose a distinctive aesthetic.
CORAL, an example of how the evolution of man through technology is resolved in the forms of nature.
Paolo D’Arrigo, born in Rome in 1967, has a multidisciplinary background which branches out from sociology to design.

He teaches industrial design at Sapienza University of Rome and has taught at Istituto Europeo di Design - Rome, and is involved in associations activities, was President of ADI Lazio and representative to the ADI Executive Council.
The interest in materials, in sustainability and the continuous research of functional innovation characterize his design process.
