Mycelium n’: incredibly tiny “threads” of the greater fungal organism that wrap around or bore into tree roots connecting individual plants together to transfer water, nitrogen, carbon and other minerals. German forester Peter Wohlleben dubbed this network the “woodwide web,” as it is through the mycelium that trees “communicate.” Mushrooms are the fruit of the mycorrhizal network fungus.

Okay Kate (Ekaterina Sharnina), designer for BRIZ Studios of Saint Petersburg, imagines her conceptual radiator as being akin to the coral reefs that are found in shallow seawater, providing nutrients and shelter for creatures in that environment

Nature offers a profusion of amazing linkages, both seen and unseen: Caterpillars and butterflies, rainwater and evaporation, atoms and energy. Ekaterina’s conceptual radiator brings to mind mycelium as hot water circulates through the network of pipes, warming the room at all levels, just as mycelium bring nourishment upwards to trees while recirculating carbon. Warmth nurtures people and people bring their warmth back to the environment. Seamorph adds a new dimension to any room while evoking natural networks that call forth warmth.
