Gyrofocus Wood Fireplace

Elevate Your Space with a Modern Suspended Fireplace

Suspended fireplaces are a striking addition to any modern interior, combining form and function in a way few features can.

The Focus range includes minimalist open-fire models and dramatic centrepieces, each selected for their design, performance and compatibility with Australian homes. A hanging wood fireplace is ideal for those who value warmth and design equally, blending heritage and innovation in a single silhouette.

Make A Design Statement

Hanging from the ceiling and designed to rotate, suspended wood fireplaces distribute heat evenly while serving as a focal point. With no bulky hearth or base required, they free up floor space and add an unmistakable sense of lightness to the room.

However, the spectacular design and presence of a hanging fireplace quickly becomes part of a room’s identity, with heating becoming a secondary feature. These fireplaces are ideal for open-plan living areas, where visibility and flow are key.

No Compromise on Efficiency

Despite focus often being on aesthetics, suspended fireplaces also perform exceptionally well. Focus’s latest range of slow combustion fireplace options provides long-lasting heat output and great efficiency. If you’re seeking a centrepiece to rival any designer fireplace or want a striking alternative to a freestanding wood heater, this format is a confident and timeless choice.

Choosing the Right Suspended Wood Fireplace

It’s important to consider your space, design and room structure before selecting a suspended wood fireplace. Our expert team can help determine the right size and position and recommend other suitable alternatives (like an ethanol burner) to suit your home.

A functional piece of art

Gyrofocus has been honoured the world over as a design object as well as a functioning fireplace. It has been exhibited in the Bordeaux Contemporary Art Museum, the National Centre of Contemporary Art in Grenoble, and New York’s Guggenheim Museum. It has also been featured in the work of Norman Foster among other renowned architects, and has even appeared in a James Bond film.

Focus contemporary wood fireplaces

Focus unites the distinctive design of Focus and the traditional pleasure of a wood fire. Whether suspended from the ceiling or fixed on a base, against a wall or in the centre of a room, the contemporary wood fireplaces in the Focus range generate both heat and conviviality.

Focus is the original inventor of the suspended fireplace. Established in Viols le Fort, France, by master craftsman Dominique Imbert, the brand has been associated with design innovation and an uncompromising approach to craftsmanship since its inception.

Focus has grown from a small artist’s studio to an international business now producing a range of over 60 original models. Committed to local manufacturing and resolutely modernist in terms of aesthetic, each new Focus creation challenges the conventions of fireplace design.

Since the unveiling of the Gyrofocus in 1968 these sculptural masterpieces have been enthusiastically embraced by the design and architectural worlds, with architects Norman Foster, Isay Weinfeld and the Snohetta collective among the many architects to include a Focus fireplace in their work.

Gyrofocus

The Gyrofocus continues to symbolise aesthetic excellence. It has been seen everywhere from the Guggenheim New York to Stockholm’s Museum of Modern Art, a wild deer observation hut in Norway and the Cloudy Bay winery in New Zealand.

Its effortless harmony with various interior styles the world over continues to cement its place as the most iconic of all fireplaces. Over the past 45 years, GyroFocus has amassed an impressive collection of prizes, medals and other distinctions not the least of which being the World’s Most Beautiful Object collected at the Pulchra Design Award (Italy) in 2009.

A true alien when it first landed lifting fire into the air, Gyrofocus is now in its fifth decade of continuous production. Despite changes in fashion and taste it remains as iconic today as it was in 1968.
