This one-of-a-kind sculptural radiator cover is a stunning example of Ted Gantz’s signature style—melding fine craftsmanship with surreal symbolism and storytelling. Constructed from forged and welded iron, this functional artwork is adorned with a delicate mesh screen layered behind a dimensional marine scene, including a hand-forged starfish, small anchor, and twisted rope rendered in brass and steel.
The composition evokes the mystery of the sea, with a net draped diagonally across the surface and aquatic forms integrated into its structure. Gantz’s design blends brutalist and nautical aesthetics, with elements intentionally weathered to give the piece a rich patina and sense of history.
Topped with a polished marble slab, this piece can serve as a console, bar, or functional sculpture in residential or commercial spaces looking to fuse modern utility with fine art.
