A fireplace has amused me, reminding me of the times we would long for the bonfire to listen to old tales from our grandma. This interesting fireplace, rather a firehouse has been designed taking inspiration from the Norwegian turfs and indeed looks like a flame. Made on a concrete base, the wooden construction is made of 80 layers of circles. Every circle is made out of 28 pieces of naturally impregnated core of pine that are placed with varied spaces to assure chimney effect and natural light. The designers claim this is meant especially for children. The only thing that I don’t appreciate in this design is that a combination of children, wood and fire is very unsafe, but nevertheless an artist has to be given that amount of creative freedom to experiment and open horizons.
