The story behind the design of the BC model fireplace by Francisco Barba Corsini is fascinating and reveals how inspiration can come from the simplest of things. Francisco Barba Corsini told us how it led him to design the BC model fireplace. One afternoon, thinking about the fireplace, I made a cone out of a sheet of paper, resulting in a rounded, cylindrical shape that suited the atmosphere of the room. Later, when designing several single-family homes, I improved the design and construction, creating the ultimate solution for the fireplace. It shows how observation and interaction can lead to innovative solutions. The BC fireplace design evokes that cosy, comforting feeling of sitting around the fire, an activity that has been the centre of home life for generations. The rounded, cylindrical shape of the fireplace creates a natural focal point in the room, inviting people to gather around and enjoy the warmth. The light provided by the fire and the sound of crackling wood is a great way to add an extra sensory dimension to the experience of sitting around the fireplace. This sound evokes comforting memories and enhances the feeling of warmth and comfort in the home. To further enhance this experience, we could focus on aspects such as the layout of the space around the fireplace, ensuring there is enough room for people to gather comfortably. Additionally, we could explore design options that incorporate natural materials and warm textures to complement the cozy aesthetic of the fireplace.
