About Fireplace 暖飲爐

「Fireplace」係一款暖飲爐,專為延長飲品保溫時間而設計。呢個暖爐由3毫米黑色鋼板製成,經過激光切割、彎折、焊接同埋啞光粉末塗層處理。爐內放置蠟燭,可以加熱茶煲、鍋具同埋杯子,而鋼製爐身喺使用五個鐘頭之後,依然只係微溫。彎曲爐臂上嘅孔洞令燭光向外透出,令人聯想起一團小火。除咗暖飲之外,「Fireplace」仲可以當燭台使用,或者配合碗具用嚟溫熱精油。呢件設計高6厘米,直徑18厘米。

Unique Properties: Matches to almoust any kettle, pot and mug filled with tea, coffee, herbs, mulled wine, warm honey. Also used for essential oils.

The bottom of the cups and kettles does not turn black with fire. As candle holder gives unique reflections like fireplace. Design is made on the basis of great geometry.
Dimensions & Packaging: Height: 6cm, Diameter: 18cm
Weight: circa 1 kg
Tags: unique, elegant, modern, safe, steel, relaxing,
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.
