I love the design and practicality of this new invention for the fireplace. It is the Chimo Fireplace by Floz Design for Blomus, and is a flue-less, chimney-less, instant atmosphere provider that burns nice, green Ethanol. It mounts directly on the wall like a picture frame and effortlessly blends form and function in a simple and unique way that requires little set up and no chimney. This means that any room of your house can now easily accommodate the comfort and pleasure of a beautifully designed and functional fireplace. I have not had the opportunity to use this particular product in any of my Design projects, but I have used a fireplace designed by Eco Smart, a company out of Australia that burns Ethanol.
This rotating, stand alone model will add all the extra sizzle a bedroom or living labyrinth might require. 
As seen in the New York Times and on HGTV Blomus' indoor fireplace is a breakthrough in indoor ambiance and Green Design. It installs in minutes by mounting on any wall in your home, with no need for a chimney, gas line or professional installation. Simply mount to the wall, fill the reservoir, light it up and enjoy.The secret is that the flame is generated from Ethanol which is a safe, clean burning fuel that is completely organic and made from renewable resources like corn, potatoes, wheat and other vegetables. Furthermore, Ethanol is Green since it is not a fossil-fuel and burning it does not increase the Greenhouse effect like other fuels. This product is made in Germany.
Aren't these fabulous??
ReplyDeletethe only bad thing about them is that it burns out fast and the gas is so expensive... ;(

ReplyDeleteHi Jenn
ReplyDeleteI just did some research on the cost of Ethanol. In Canada a 4 Litre bottle (which is approx 3.75 Gal) sells for $25.00. Burning on a medium flame one bottle lasts for 10 - 12 hours. So the way I figure it, that is approx. $2.50 per hour or less expensive than a latte. I am sure that Ethanol can be sourced at an less expensive price and/or the price might come down as there is more demand for it.
Fantastic! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteSuch a great designs, esp the wall mounted piece! Thanks for sharing these Patricia and Happy New Year (a little late :)

I see you're keeping your New Year's resolution to be green--these are really great--especially the top one. I've always liked the Eco Smart ones as well.
ReplyDeleteI AM LOOKING FOR A GAS BURNING FIREPLACE THAT A TV CAN BE PLACED ABOVE IT. SOMETHING MORE HORIZONTAL, BUT I'VE HEARD A MANTEL OF STONE IS NEEDED BETWEEN THE TV AND FIREPLACE.....
ReplyDeleteI ALSO SAW THIS FABULOUS JETSON FIREPLACE THAT BURNED WOOD, BUT THAT IS NOT ALLOWED UP NORTH.
I WISH I COULD FIND SOMETHING THAT IS WIDE ENOUGH, BURNS GAS, (I'VE ALREADY MOVED THE GAS LINE)..AND THAT COULD BE TILED OR A MANTEL BUILT AROUND (ABSIOUSLY NOT A HUGE MANTEL) BUT TO GIVE IT WARM WITH LOW BOOKCASES BELOW.....DOES ANYONE KNOW OF ANY,,,,,,,,THANKS, ANNIE
