Explore Focus Fireplaces
Focus Fireplaces, renowned for its innovative and iconic fireplace designs, has been a pioneer in the industry for over 50 years. Founded by Dominique Imbert in Southern France, Focus has grown from a one-man metal beating operation to a company with nearly a hundred employees, maintaining its roots in the Languedoc region. The brand is celebrated for its handcrafted fireplaces and has been specified by some of the world's leading architects for diverse projects, from residential houses to luxurious hotels.
Distinctive Design and Innovation
Focus is particularly famous for its Gyrofocus model, a central, suspended, and 360° pivoting fireplace that dates back to 1968. This model, known for its groundbreaking design and technical properties, has won multiple international awards, including the Pulchra prize in 2009, and is showcased in museums globally. The company's portfolio includes a variety of designs, such as wall-mounted, suspended, indoor, outdoor, wood-burning, and gas fireplaces, catering to a wide range of preferences and architectural styles.
Eco-Friendly and Sustainable Options
In line with the upcoming Ecodesign regulations in 2022, Focus has focused on sustainability, producing fireplaces that are DEFRA and Passivhaus approved. They have incorporated 17 gas models in their catalogue, offering a real wood fire experience while eliminating its disadvantages. These gas fires come equipped with a CE-certified gas burner that can operate with either natural gas or propane, ensuring ease of use and high performance.
Slimfocus – DEFRA Approved Wood-Burning Solution
One of Focus's notable innovations is the Slimfocus, a DEFRA approved fire ideal for urban areas with restrictions on wood-burning fires and stoves. Its sleek, periscope-like shape is a stylistic revolution, suitable for low-energy houses and designed to minimize its spatial footprint while maximizing heating efficiency.
Outdoor Fireplaces and Barbecues
Focus also offers a selection of elegant models suitable for outdoor use, perfect for creating a warm and inviting atmosphere in gardens or patios. These outdoor fires and barbecues combine earthiness with elegant aesthetics, designed to resist outdoor conditions and offer both warming and cooking capabilities. Focus Fireplaces, by combining innovative design with functionality and sustainability, offers a diverse range of products that cater to various architectural and interior design needs. Their commitment to using recyclable materials and ensuring product longevity reflects their dedication to environmental stewardship and sustainable practices.
