The Technical Revolution that Liberated Design
The innovation that made everything possible is simple and ingenious: Tubes developed a technology that allows valves to be positioned up to 6 metres away from the heat emitter. This means the radiator no longer needs to be close to the connection point — it can stand at the centre of a wall, in the middle of a room, anywhere in the space. Function is separated from installation, and design becomes free. In 2003 came the collaboration with Ludovica + Roberto Palomba as artistic directors — the moment at which Tubes definitively embraced the language of international design and the radiator ceased to be a technical accessory to become a furniture icon. Since then the brand has won the Red Dot Design Award multiple times, one of the most prestigious quality certifications in world design.

The Iconic Products
Every Tubes product is born from the meeting of engineering and design, with a precise objective: that the radiator should "define the architecture of the space" rather than passively occupy it:
- add-On: the radiator held in the permanent collections of the Centre Pompidou in Paris — an object-sculpture that redefined the very concept of a heat emitter
- Milano / totalcolour (Antonia Astori + Nicola De Ponti, 2006): a column of stacked modular "ring" elements in a sinuous form, up to 230 cm in height, available in 60 colour variants — offered in hydronic, electric, and plug-and-play versions
- DOTS.: a circular wall-mounted heat accessory, electrically powered, in partially recycled and fully recyclable aluminium; endless compositional possibilities, perfect as a design heated towel rail
- Square Composition, Soho free-standing, I Ching, Scaletta: the other catalogue icons — different formal approaches, the same technical care, and the same chromatic personalisation options
All Tubes production takes place at the historic facility in Resana (TV), with a short and fully controlled supply chain — a system that embodies the values of responsibility, reliability, and authentic Made in Italy quality.
