“Eve goes beyond pure functionality: it represents the search for an iconic value, the personification of heat. In fact, we were inspired by the world of drones, playful and practical sci-fi objects which we all have dreamt of having. Although it tries to be discreet and hide under a table, near a sofa or at the bottom of the bed, Eve is the real protagonist of the space, also thanks to the light it emits when switched on; and maybe this is because it wants to get noticed... because Eve lights up but is not a lamp."
Ludovica + Roberto Palomba
Heat and light, two vital and essential elements for the balance of the body and mind, which come together and are the starting point for the creation of an unprecedented object which is capable of conveying energy and peace on a daily basis.
Eve is defined by its functions: it is a nomadic heating and luminous sphere that follows us everywhere, bringing light, warmth and wellness. Eve can create, in an elegant way, the perfect atmosphere where and when needed: at home or in the office, standing on the floor or resting on a desk. Furthermore, thanks to its lighting function, Eve overcomes all barriers set by seasonality so it can be used also during the evenings in the warmest months of the year.
Its two functions can be activated concurrently or independently from one another. Eve heats releasing hot air through a 360 degrees flow which comes from a split at floor level. The heating is electric and adjustable to two intensity levels (400W and 800W), plus the Booster function for two hours, using a touch control set on the top of the sphere or using an application for Android and IOS via Wi-Fi, working inside the home. In the same way it is possible to control the lighting function: the dimmable light, like the heat, is diffused from the lower part of the sphere.
Eve received the Archiproducts Design Awards 2018 in the Finishes category and the German Design Award 2019 in the Energy category.
Eve belongs to the new Plug&Play collection presented by Tubes on the occasion of the Salone del Mobile 2018. This collection marks the starting point of the unprecedented concept of personal warmth: the heating objects, free from installation constraints, go beyond the static nature of architecture and open up to the human dimension which, by definition, is in constant movement and evolution.
