Heated Conversation

Groundfloor

There’s something so inviting about gathering around a fire.

A handful of you might admit that some of your best conversations were had around one be it campside, hearthside or backyard with a fire pit. But what about inside a piece of architecturally pleasing furniture?

Enter Planika Fires, a company that specializes in indoor and outdoor furniture pieces that actually contain fires that burn without smoke.
A nice feature for homeowners who want the ambiance of a fire without the smell, residue and allergens produced with smoke.

Fueled by a special ethanol-based liquid called Fanola, which is described on the Planika site as a “biologically clean product of plant origin,” the fire emits water vapor and CO2- in volumes that are comparable to that of the air we breathe each day.

Available pieces at the site include coffee tables, rectangular wall mountings, and cylinder shaped pieces for outdoor use created with renowned designers Christophe Pillet, French designer Arik Levy and Serge Atallah.

Designed with the intention of overcoming the often existing difficulties of soot, ash and the need for a chimney in an interior space, the mobile fire pits allow any homeowner anywhere to indulge in heated conversation, all the while staying stylish.
