Mormedi designs the Neo collection for Effisense

A radiator awarded prizes for efficiency, innovation and design.

2012 was a great year for Mormedi, the Madrid-based innovation and product design consultancy. Indeed, last year it garnered various prizes and nominations for its new collection, Neo – a line of electric convection radiators manufactured by Spanish company Effisense.

Notable among the prizes it has received are the IF Product Design Award 2012, one of the most prestigious, international design prizes in the world, that recognises excellence in design and innovation, the International Design Excellence Award (IDEA) 2012, given by the Industrial Designers Society of America (IDSA), and the Prize for Emerging Design: Innovation and Future 2012, awarded by the Ibero-American Design Biennial. Neo was also nominated for the German Design Council’s German Design Award 2013.

Mormedi has developed an innovative, elegant, highly energy-efficient range of electric radiators taking a patented heating technology developed by Effisense as a starting point. This new technology, which Effisense patented in 2012, converts over 95 per cent of the electrical energy consumed into heat, thereby using most of the energy consumed and making it very energy-efficient. Mormedi have given form to this technology, designing radiators that are highly visually pleasing, unimposing and ethereal, almost appearing to float in mid-air.  

Founded in 1988 by Jaime Moreno, Mormedi specialises in design and product strategy and services as well as in highly innovative projects. One of its other pieces has also won an award in the past. In 2011, its Punto Limpio recycling bin – created for Proiek, a Spanish company that makes architectural facades – won the prestigious IF Best Product Design award in the Public Design category.
