Exploring Creative Interiors: Fireplaces To Flaunt!

Winter has set in and suddenly that summer-abandoned fireplace has become your best friend. This month DesignMind has found some interesting fireplace designs to inspire and ignite you!

Aktys produces original fireplaces that are simultaneous works of art. Their designs are space considerate, perfect for small apartments. Each of these fireplaces has a small container which is hidden into the frame and has to be filled by bioethanol. Bioethanol gives a real fire without smells and without bigger danger than a candle. All of the designs have a certificate of authenticity, are numbered and signed by the artist. For more information visit the Aktys site.

The rotating Diva fireplace (above) spins on an axis at your command - and even comes with an (optional) remote control so you can twirl it from afar. Leave it to German engineers to make a sleek, directional modern fireplace design that you can smoothly adjust to face you for extra light and warmth.

And if you really like getting up close and personal with your family room fireplace you may be interested in a Planika design (above) - many of which are integrated with everything from glass side tables to granite, wood or steel coffee tables. While these may seem dubious in terms of their safety they are also compellingly central.

These elegant metal-and-glass various fireplaces by Vauni are portable, beautiful and as adjustable. They can be put on the floor or elevated and are suited to most residential or even office spaces. The creative grates are sure to add more than just warmth to any space.
