In the autumn of 2000, star architect Norman Foster commissioned Dominique Imbert, artist and founder of Focus, to create a custom-designed model for the vast reception hall of the head office of a major company in the UK.
The gas Filiofocus 2000 (central) was designed for this specific commission. It was then developed in a second, scaled-down 1600 version. Following its creation, the Filiofocus made history by winning a gold medal in the Trophées du Design at the Batimat trade show in Paris, as well as a silver medal for design at the Concours de Design in Stuttgart.
The Filiofocus is available in two versions: wood-burning and gas. Both feature a tapering conical hood that is 1600 or 2000 mm in length, and a hearth base holding a fire bowl protected by curved panels of fire-resistant glass. The wood-burning version has three fixed glass panels, and the gas version has four, two of which slide open to create a single opening at the front.
