DOTS.

Designed by Ludovica Serafini + Roberto Palomba

Ludovica Serafini and Roberto Palomba are the acclaimed Italian design duo behind Palomba Serafini Associati, a studio founded in 1994 in Milan. Known for their refined approach to architecture and product design, they have collaborated with some of the world’s most respected brands, including Tubes Radiatori, Foscarini, and Poltrona Frau.

Their work is defined by a balance of elegant geometry and organic warmth, merging innovation with timeless Italian craftsmanship. Every design reflects their philosophy of “human-centered minimalism”—creating objects that are not only beautiful to look at but intuitive to live with.

For Tubes Radiatori, Ludovica and Roberto Palomba designed the DOTS. collection—a series of sculptural towel warmers that reinterpret the radiator as a functional work of art. Minimal in form yet rich in personality, DOTS. embodies their belief that everyday objects can elevate the atmosphere of a space through thoughtful design and tactile beauty.

DOTS. Heated Towel Warmer by Tubes Radiatori

DOTS. is a warm, sculptural accessory that brings a sense of refinement and understated luxury to any space, while remaining practical and functional year-round.

Its design is based on a simple 19 cm circular form that can be installed individually or arranged in creative compositions—offering designers endless flexibility to create custom wall layouts.

Crafted from partially recycled, fully recyclable aluminum, DOTS. is available in more than 140 Tubes color options, from glossy and matte tones to pearlescent and textured finishes, allowing seamless integration into any interior style.

In the bathroom, DOTS. functions beautifully as an electric towel warmer for towels or bathrobes. Thanks to its low-voltage (24V) system, it can be safely installed even in humid areas such as walk-in showers or above bathtubs. A recessed mount ensures a stable, flush fit against the wall, while an internal heating device keeps the surface at a consistent, comfortable temperature.

DOTS. can be controlled via an optional manual on/off switch, or connected to a wireless or Wi-Fi thermostat, making it compatible with modern home automation systems.

The result is a minimalist yet expressive design object—both elegant and useful, designed to elevate daily rituals through warmth and Italian craftsmanship.
