Focus contemporary fireplaces from The Good House - 40 years of pioneering the trend
FOCUS creator and designer Dominique Imbert fabricated by himself the first FOCUS fireplace 40 years ago. With production now exceeding 3000 per annum, the
new models unveiled last year and available in Australia in 2007, keep the brand at the forefront of contemporary fireplace design. More than ever, "tradition consists of
inventing your epoch..." (Le Corbusier)
The RENZOFOCUS:
"An idea that does not appear to be crazy at first sight has no value" (Albert Einstein).
Indeed it required a cleaver mixture of madness and wisdom to create the RenzoFocus, a telescope for flames and a periscope for the fire. The influence of the ventilation
elements of the Pompidou Art Centre in Paris, by architect Renzo Piano, is clearly no stranger to the design of this latest model in the FOCUS range. With exceptional
personality and presence, the RenzoFocus, whether wall mounted or central, combines the visibility of the fire, the safety of a closed fireplace, thermal performance and
aesthetic daring.
The hinged porthole, in pyroceramic glass, opens sideways. There is a curved grate inside the fireplace to hold the logs. The swivel version is still under development. As
for all Focus stand alone models, the exposed flue length and the ceiling bracket are custom made to suit your project.
This model obtained the silver medal of the Design Trophies at the last Batimat trade fair in Paris.
