Pebble: A Revolutionary Heating System by Hakan Gürsu

Winner of the Prestigious Platinum A' Furniture Design Award in 2012

Introducing Pebble, a unique and innovative heating system designed by Hakan Gürsu. This system, which uses naturally formed and tumbled pebbles, offers a healthy, economical, and space-saving solution for both indoor and outdoor heating. The Pebble heating system not only serves a functional purpose but also adds an aesthetic appeal to any environment with its sculpture-like look.

The Pebble heating system stands out for its unique properties. It uses a variety of naturally and artificially formed round and flat stones, sized between 7 to 10 cms. These stones are punctured via water jets forming 12 mm asymmetrical holes and are then placed in an organized pattern onto the 12 mm steel heating pipes. The unique organic patterns of these stones heat the environments by using electrical energy from the pipes.

Each Pebble heater is unique due to the differences between the stones used and the pattern in which the stones are applied. This creates a richness through the differentiation of pieces and aesthetics in an industrialized product. The system, with its healthy and functional use, generates a variety of usage scenarios for the future.

The Pebble heating system also addresses the problem of air dehumidification seen in all electrical heaters. This is balanced by the water bunker in the metal chamber. If desired, a healthier and more humid air quality can be achieved through the spray of water to the stones. This breathing potential of stones is practiced in bathrooms and similar environments.

The product range, with the structure of the system, is designed in such a way that models with performance rates of 1200-1500-1800 and higher can be employed for production. Compared to existing heaters in the markets, Pebble is an innovative product due to its efficient use of space, heating options, healthy and functional structure, and the added value it brings to its environment.

It's worth noting that Pebble was awarded the Platinum A' Furniture Design Award in 2012. This award recognizes world-class, exceptional, and highly innovative designs that showcase unmatched professionalism, genius, and contribute to societal wellbeing. Awarded to the defining aesthetics of an era, they advance the boundaries of art, science, design, and technology, exhibiting transcendent excellence and making the world a better place.

In conclusion, the Pebble heating system by Hakan Gürsu is a revolutionary product that not only provides a practical solution to heating but also adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to any environment. Its unique design and innovative features make it a worthy recipient of the prestigious Platinum A' Furniture Design Award.
