Warm up the Past by Mia Mestre

Given the ongoing global energy crisis, the present project focuses on exploring energy-related solutions.

Through an examination of traditional heating systems and the historical usage of candles, a multifunctional analog heating device has been developed.

This monomaterial device has the capability to provide warmth to clothing, rooms, and hot beverages.

The final outcome of this project is an open-source document, allowing interested individuals to have the mono-material device manufactured by a local ceramist.

This approach promotes customization while supporting local businesses, reducing unnecessary waste, and emphasizing the sustainability of the product.
