The Gyrofocus fireplace was voted 'World's Most Beautiful Object' in the famous Pulchra Design Competition (2009). To this lofty perch it comes from humble beginnings. In 1967, when French sculptor Dominique Imbert banged together a simple scrap metal fireplace to heat his freezing studio, he had no idea his design would garner international acclaim. Far from your traditional hearth, the free-standing suspended fireplace looks more like a piece of art. Maybe that’s why it has been exhibited in some of the world's more prestigious museums including the New York's Guggenheim Museum (1998), Bordeaux Contemporary Art Museum (1996), and the National Centre of Contemporary Art in Grenoble (1997). Still made in Cavaillon, in the south of France, that is where BrandmadeTV's film crew captured the beauty of the Gyrofocus Fireplace.

    Love the design and i'd love to have one, but my guess is that it burns up your wood super quick, making it a bad fireplace energywise
  • If placed in the middle of the room and surrounded by furniture, how would you prevent someone from accidentally bumping into it
  • @yw8600
    who has something like this at home, I want to know if it heats, and how much volume m³ it heats, or is it just a design fireplace where you have to make moderate fires, not generous ones

    I have been contemplating about commenting. I love your channel and the idea of it but your intro is much louder than the rest of the video. Doesn't really match the vibe of video either. Sorry but I had to comment about it.

    I'd rather have an old metal trash can connected to dryer vent for the chimney.
