Slimfocus on base

The Slimfocus is a periscope of flames. Its hearth is either suspended (in which case it can pivot) or supported by a base and fixed in place. Its streamlined shape takes up little space, whether it is positioned centrally in a room, near a wall or in a corner. Its exceptionally fluid lines make it one of Focus’s most stylistically revolutionary fireplaces.   Available versions - Slimfocus on stand, fixed (Current model) - Slimfocus floor-standing, fixed, dual-flux Slimfocus suspended, fixed - Slimfocus suspended, fixed - Slimfocus suspended, pivoting - Slimfocus suspended, balanced flue - Slimfocus suspended, pivoting, balanced flue Caption Caption Caption Caption Caption More

Gyrofocus gas

Today, this model with multiple international and prestigious awards proposes gas as fuel. Led through a hidden insulated conduit, the gas – natural gas or propane – creates genuine flames in the ceramic logs. Operated with a remote control, odourless and without particle emission, this icon finds its place inside individuals’ homes as well as hotels and restaurants. Caption Caption Caption More

Prométhée

Greek mythology tells us that it was Prometheus who stole the fire of Olympus and gave it to men. With this creation from 1975, Dominque Imbert sought to illustrate and pay homage to this theft. And ever since then, this same model has been made to measure with the utmost respect for its sculptural essence. Caption   More

Magnifocus

Each example of the Magnifocus is a unique creation. Dominique Imbert had sculpted a different “tear” in each individual raw steel fireplace, resulting in a work of art that is original and powerful, yet remains practical.   More

Sculpted in raw, polished steel with visible welding seams, each Heterofocus is numbered and signed. These unique fireplaces offer exceptional heat output, embodying Focus's aspiration to merge art, craftsmanship and innovation without compromising technical efficiency. Caption More

Product • By FocusAntefocus

Antefocus

The Antéfocus model was the first creation made by Dominique Imbert in 1967 for his personal use. This is the origin of the Gyrofocus (1968) and of the entire Focus range, hence its name. More than 50 years after its creation, the Antefocus is still reproduced individually, by hand, with exposed welds and exclusively in waxed finish. Caption Caption Caption Caption More

Meijifocus

This model can be installed directly on the floor, mounted on a base of black steel or masonry, or placed at the edge of a split level. The Meijifocus allows the fire to be viewed in complete security, bringing it within reach of our living spaces. The style evokes the clean open spaces of Japanese interiors.

Product • By FocusGrappus

Grappus

Grappus is more than a wood stove: it is a composition that rhythmically structures space, giving the fire the high note. The height of the hearth, counterbalanced by the offset wood rack, makes the stove easy to use and adapts well to any space. Grappus successfully cross-fertilises a high-performance stove, a contemporary design that reveals the flames in all their splendour, and an easily accessible wood rack. - created by Thibault Désombre for Focus - Caption More

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.

Ergofocus gas

Focus has achieved a real technological milestone by allowing gas to flow through a plate in the ceiling and then down through an insulated conduit into the fireplace, while still allowing the hearth to swivel at 100°.
