About Fireplace Kifaa cha Kupasha Vinywaji
Fireplace ni kifaa cha kupasha vinywaji kilichobuniwa kuweka vinywaji vikiwa na joto kwa muda mrefu zaidi. Kifaa hiki cha kupasha kimetengenezwa kwa chuma cheusi cha unene wa milimita 3 kilichokatwa kwa leza, kupindwa, kulehemu na kupakwa rangi ya unga yenye mwonekano usiong'aa. Mshumaa unaowekwa ndani hupasha birika, vyungu na mugi, huku mwili wa chuma ukibaki na joto jepesi tu baada ya masaa matano ya matumizi. Matundu yaliyopo kwenye mikono iliyopinda huruhusu mwanga kupenya nje, na kukumbusha moto mdogo. Fireplace pia inaweza kutumika kama kishikilia mshumaa au, pamoja na bakuli, kama kifaa cha kupasha mafuta muhimu (essential oils). Urefu wake ni sentimita 6 na kipenyo chake ni sentimita 18.

- Production Technology
- 3mm of black steel is laser cut, bent, welded and powder painted. High quality powder paint with matte finish and light shimmering particles. I have chosen one of the best paints on the market. The production process engages machines and people.
- Design Challenge
- Design in order to match also to majority of mugs (as they can have narrower bottom). Choosing a paint that does not scratch and can be cleaned easily. Choosing steel witch doesn't warm up. Dimensioning in order to keep it safe for hands and mugs/kettles.
Project consists of 8 elements which are connected by 5 welds. Challenge was in connecting them in a very esthetic way.
Finding company which would like to cut and bend small quantites with high quality and economic price. - Research
- People admited their drinks after a while become cold. Admited that heater is safe for their hands. Gives wonderful effect when it's dark. Matches to plenty of different kettles and doesnt break as ceramics or glass.
- Inspiration
- Inspired by fireplace & people sharing drinks and their presence.
You have probably experienced this situation too, when you were unhappy to finish your drink, which became cold. That was the reason to design heater which could match to almoust any kettle and also mug which I already had at home.
I have chosen steel so that that the product will last for years.
Powder paint in mat so that the surface does not scratch at all.
Fireplace- as people open their souls by the fire. - Project Duration
- The project started in March 2018 in Wroclaw- Poland and in September 2019 found its first super happy customers.
- Operation Flow
- Can be used as a candle holder itself; with kettle and mug as heater for liquids; with a bowl as heater for essential oils. People are amazed by this product specially after touching it.
