This novel design is proof that a healthy sense of humour never goes astray. The appliance may look like a garden hose, but it is, in fact, a fetching and practical bathroom heater. Its hose-like design means that it can be bent or stretched to fit any space. It can be hooked on the wall, wound around a rail or even spread across the floor in warming loops.
