The appearance of Laivo S has been influenced by the nostalgic barrel oven. The upper section of the fireplace narrows and is topped off with chiselled trimming. The rounded edges and protruding base soften the appearance of the soapstone fireplace. The large square door plays the leading role and its light grey cast iron border frames the fire beautifully. The narrow tiles running on both sides of the door can be replaced with a stylish trim by selecting a soapstone surface that has been treated in different ways. The narrower Laivo S fireplace retains heat in the mass around and above the door.
