Design: Nicola De Ponti, 2012
Perfect for renovations, whether traditional or contemporary, Agorà combines formal research and technological innovation giving the ideal solution for any room in the home. Thanks to its versatility, and the fact it comes in three versions (without décor, with single décor or with double décor) and available in 190 different sizes, it can be installed as new or replace old radiators without having to resort to masonry work.
Made entirely of wire-drawn recyclable aluminium with standard pitches, Agorà plays on the fact that not only the fairly large (13.7 cm) modular elements can be easily arranged, but the height, passing from the subtlety of 40 cm to the monumental feel of 220 cm, affords the possibility of creating highly unusual combinations, in particular for renovation work.
With extremely low water content and high energy savings, Agorà has a very large surface area due to fins positioned inside the radiator and not on the front section, enabling excellent heat exchange. The valves may be connected remotely away from the radiator, so that its sculpted look and minimalist lines remain unchanged.
A further feature of Agorà is its aesthetic versatility – the opportunity to manipulate the different models, finishes and colours, starting with a nod to the traditional cast- iron radiator. The narrow décors open on the front section enable numerous combinations between the radiator colour and the background wall, which can be matching, contrasting or, as is the case mainly with renovations or period environments, plain.
Depending on what is required and on personal taste, it can fit harmoniously into more traditional types of use or take on more challenging architectural demands, allowing the designer complete freedom.
Agorà has been tested in accordance with the EN 442 standard at the Polytechnic of Milan laboratories which have verified the heat output and its compliance in terms of quality with the highest European standards.
