SoHo Decorative Gas Fire

Mention the name Soho and images immediately spring to mind of the fashionable arts and entertainment locales found in London, New York and Hong Kong. The downtown precincts populated by countless studios, galleries and clubs and characterised by a vibrant mix of creative energy and individual expression.

So how is it that Soho was chosen as the name by the people at Heat & Glo for their new decorative gas fire, 'Well I guess it is the sense of freedom of working with a fresh canvas that the Heat & Glo designers had in mind when they came up with the Soho concept' comments Nicholas Agnew from AGNEWS Fireplaces. 'And I think they have succeed in capturing something of the bohemian character with this gas fire' says Nicholas 'Soho is shaping up as an exciting new way of doing decorative gas fires, it opens up lots of fresh possibilities.'

Soho's compact proportions and clean contemporary lines allow it to be installed in many unconventional locations. Unlike traditional fire settings, Soho has the freedom to be installed just about anywhere on a wall or even across a corner space. No longer does the fire have to be anchored to the floor or locked into a fireplace cavity with the room arranged around it. Soho can be positioned as a stand-alone feature or take its place blended into the décor mix. It offers almost unlimited possibilities.

Nicholas Agnew concludes 'I think the time is right for a concept such as Soho. There does seem to be a more free-spirited approach to modern decorating, less emphasis on traditional structures and more interest in creating effective spaces. Soho is a clever interpretation of the decorative gas fire and it will be fascinating to see in what directions Australian homemakers take it.'
