About Vortex Kamin
Vortex je viseći kamin dizajniran za javne i privatne prostore. Asimetrična forma Vortexa referira se na deformaciju prostora i daje kaminu snažnu prisutnost. Vortex nudi dvije opcije sagorijevanja: tradicionalno drvo ili automatski bioetanolski plamenik. Bioetanolska verzija pruža pravi plamen bez dima, pepela ili mirisa. Vortex je izrađen od ugljičnog čelika, oblikovan laserskim rezanjem i zavarivanjem, te završno obrađen praškastim premazom otpornim na toplinu. Toplinski učinak kreće se od 5,9 do 10,6 kilovata.

- Production Technology
- This design was created by hand drawing followed by CAD tech drawing.
Its realization consist in laser cutting and welding technology, and finished by thermo resistent powder coating paintingover its main material, carbon steel. - Design Challenge
- The biggest challenges in the Vortex design process are related to the need to develop a fireplace that at the same time fulfills its main function, heating, but without ever neglecting its aesthetic and sustainable aspect, fulfilling all the legal requirements for integration in public and private spaces.
- Research
- Most of the research carried out in the conception of Vortex, concerns the legal aspects and certification of fireplaces to be integrated in public and private places.
As for the research related to design, it was carried out in order to develop a wood combustion product, in which it is possible to insert an automatic Bioethanol burner. With regard to its visual aspect, Vortex is inspired by the strength of a black hole to suck all the material within reach, resulting in its asymmetrical shape. - Inspiration
- The Vortex by Shelter is customized by the lightness of its asymmetrical form, referring to an imagery of space deformation, resulting in its striking image and dominant presence.
- Project Duration
- The project started in October 2018 in Porto and finished in March 2019 in Porto, and was exhibited in Shelter - New Showroom Presentation in March 2019.
- Operation Flow
- Voetx presents two different combustion solutions:
Traditional Wood and with a Bioethanol Automatic Burner.
Bioethanol Vortex are a equipment that combine design with the comfort created by the real flame, with the added value of not emitting smoke, they do not create ash or smells. - Image Credits
