The bioethanol Filiofocus 1600 opens an exciting new chapter in the history of this stylish, award-winning centrepiece, originally created for the architect Norman Foster.

With its conical hood suspended over a floor-standing f ire basin, the Filiofocus 1600 asserts itself as a work of art in its own right. With a hearth diameter of 1.12 m and requiring a ceiling height of just 2.80 m minimum (not connected), it offers Focus’s radical elegance in a size suited to contemporary spaces.

Its design is equally iconic and inviting, with the fire on its welcoming hearth visible from everywhere in the room. An attribute that has won over the many design enthusiasts in the hotel and restaurant industry who have chosen a Filiofocus for their reception, relaxation or dining areas.

As the bioethanol Filiofocus does not require connection to an external flue outlet or high ceilings, it opens up new installation possibilities: in apartments, spaces welcoming the public, areas where wood burning is prohibited, etc. Equipped with a 13.5-litre tank that allows at least 12 hours of autonomy and operating by mains (or battery as an option), the model is as convenient as it is stylish.

Its open flames dance in a glass cylinder, exposing fire in its most elemental state and reinforcing the vertical visual power of the fireplace. The Filiofocus is equipped with a remote control to switch them on and off (does not adjust heat output) and include safety features such as electronic ignition, refilling and reignition impossible when the hearth is hot, and a built-in CO2 sensor developed in collaboration with Ignisial Paris.
