Octocube: What is it?

What is that mechanical brain-like matter sitting in the corner?

Designer Vivien Muller has created this combination art object and space heater using a simple 90 degree plumbing elbow as the repeating nexus element of her design. The modular tubing increases the surface area producing radiant heat and you can make it just as simply at home but following the concept. That the beauty of simple elegant design - art following function.
