Some warmth for the New Year
Now it's mid-winter, some of us in non-insulated apartments are likely to be suffering a bit more than usual, which is why the Plus Minus Zero's new Infrared Electric Heater is a handy little helper. You already know it's going to look good — coming from the house that design superstar Naoto Fukasawa built — and it's certainly a nice take on that essential, at least in Japan, of winter home appliances. It can be used to supplement your regular home heating or it can warm up a small room all by its lonesome. It's also equipped with a kill switch in case it falls over. Priced at ¥3,990, it comes in enough colors to match any decor (beige, red, brown, pink, and gray) and can be purchased online through Plus Minus Zero's web store.
