A Brief History
The company launched itself to the public at 100% design 2002 with the outline range of flat fronted steel radiators. The simple styling and bespoke nature of the product quickly established Eskimo as a firm favourite with architects and interior designers throughout the UK. 2003 saw the launch of the towelclip, cheeky stationary inspired towel warmer featured in various publications all over the world. 100% 2004 saw Eskimo move further into the world of aluminium extruded radiators with the gorgeous ron. A series of sleek ellipsoid aluminium extrusions available in a range of vertical sizes from 200mm up to 2m tall which convect heat beautifully. In the same year they brought back the airing cupboard, realising that the modern home has a combination boiler and no hot water tank there was a need for electrical airing cupboards so ROCKY was born and he was lovely.
In 2006 eskimo will be available in more shops up and down the country as the company expands it's UK distribution. Products from all ranges will now be available from stock including many of the standard sizes from both the outline and ron ranges. Bespoke work will still be undertaken and made to order but lead times will be reduced to under 2 weeks. In addition to the already successful French distribution network Eskimo will be selling their wares into Italy, Switzerland and Russia
As the brand has grown Eskimo have been commissioned for design consultancy work; new lighting for the yha as well as exclusive ranges of towelwarmers and bathroom accessories for various companies around Europe.
Eskimo radiators have been used on a wide variety of existing architectural developments including listed buildings like Mirarnorte in New Malden, Surrey. The architect, Maxwell Fry was at the time in partnership with Walter Gropius before the Bauhaus master left for America. The building has undergone extensive redevelopment over the last 2 years; the new owner felt that eskimo’s outline range suited the updated look for this classic example of British modernism.
New products are under development, expect another classic radiator next spring as well as the long awaited completion of eskimos project x.
