STATEMENT STOVES FOR A STAND-OUT CENTREPIECE
Stoves and fires offer so much more than just a source of heat . They are both a statement focal point , as well as a practical appliance for warmth and comfort . Fireplace design has developed far beyond a typical inglenook installation , and although still very popular , manufacturers like the Stovax Heating Group showcase all kinds of avant garde designs to let you break the mould .
For those that favour the traditional appeal that comes with a woodburner but are looking for a contemporary twist , the ME circular stove from Nordpeis ( from £ 3,299 ) brings a minimalist design that stands out from the crowd . Ecodesign compliant , this stove offers a host of mounting options for a huge variety of interior designs – from pedestals and benches , to even the option to hang from the ceiling .
Some stoves can be wall-hung , for a floating installation . The Gazco Loft ( from £ 3,385 ) is an example of such an installation . This
wall-mounted gas stove is available as a balanced flue version meaning it does not require a conventional chimney . Boasting a tall firebox and reflective black glass , the Loft easily creates a contemporary centrepiece . Plus , with an A-rated efficiency class , this stove does not compromise on performance .
If electric is your requirement , the dramatic Orbit from Onyx , ( from £ 3,295 ), offers a pendant aesthetic with its suspended ceiling hung installation . This hanging stove is ideal for open living spaces and homes with vaulted ceilings , creating both an artistic spectacle as well as a form of localised heat . Orbit fires can be rotated up to 340 degrees , allowing you to enjoy the exposed flame picture from almost anywhere in a room .
