Famous industrial designer Naoto Fukasawa has collaborated with brands such as Muji, Herman Miller, Alessi and B&B Italia. For his first space heater, the Japanese master combined elegant minimalism with serious functionality, incorporating an infrared heating element in a beautiful and discreet sheath.

Designed by Objecto in New York, the T3 has a thermal shut-off function to turn off automatically if temperatures rise above the normal range. An internal switch triggers an automatic shutdown in the unlikely event that T3 overturns.

Dyson HP07 Pure Hot + Cool air purifier, heater and fan

Dyson has been a pioneer in terms of high design and high performance, and this multifunctional blower does not disappoint. It looks like an abstract sculpture, with an ovoid disk above a perforated base. But this is serious hardware; HP07 "senses, captures and captures" pollutants, says Dyson, both to purify the air and to heat the entire room. What's behind it: An activated carbon filter removes gases and odors, and a HEPA filter captures 99.97% of particles 0.3 microns or larger. Long-distance air projection means that the HP07 heats larger spaces than most heaters of its size. And if you have cold hands, the unit works hands-free with compatible voice services, including Amazon Alexa, Apple Siri, and Google Home.

The Dyson HP07 is available for $ 649.99.
