About Vortex Teallach
Is teallach ar crochadh é Vortex atá deartha do spásanna poiblí agus príobháideacha. Tagraíonn foirm neamhshiméadrach Vortex do dhíchumadh an spáis agus tugann sé láithreacht láidir don teallach. Cuireann Vortex dhá rogha dócháin ar fáil: adhmad traidisiúnta nó dóire bitheatánóil uathoibríoch. Soláthraíonn an leagan bitheatánóil fíorlasair gan deatach, luaith ná bolaithe. Déantar Vortex as cruach charbóin, múnlaithe trí ghearradh léasair agus táthú, agus críochnaithe le sciath phúdair atá frithsheasmhach in aghaidh teasa. Bíonn an t-aschur teasa idir 5.9 agus 10.6 cileavata.

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
