Footstove
This design supports the renewed lobby for energy efficiency. Kim Beekmans has reinvented the old-fashioned foot stove to save energy at home. A comfortable woollen stool with a heating element and rechargeable battery inside keeps your feet warm wherever you are. The strap on top makes it easy to carry with you all over the house and the blanket that comes with it offers even more warmth for shivery types. Instead of heating the entire house to a constant 20 °C, you can lower the thermostat a few degrees and just heat your feet.
