About Us
FOCUS, THE LEADER IN SUSPENDED FIREPLACES
Focus has been revolutionising the world of stoves and fireplaces since 1968. Its current catalogue includes 20 iconic models, which it regularly adapts to meet changing contexts (ecodesigned wood-burning models) and to exploit new types of fuel (gas, bioethanol, electric) without impacting the appearance of their timeless design.
The company has also forged collaborations with renowned creatives who share the same sensibility, from the French designer Thibault Desombre to the Norwegian architecture firm Snøhetta to the Dutch designer Huub Ubbens. Dominque Imbert’s closest collaborator for 15 years, Christophe Ployé, now head of design projects at Focus, designed the award-winning Bubble firebowl.
DOMINIQUE IMBERT (1940–2021), AN IMPRINT ON THE 20th-CENTURU DESIGN
The avant-garde spirit of Dominique Imbert, artist, humanist and founder of Focus, is reflected in each Focus fireplace. The Gyrofocus, which he designed in 1968, was the first of his steel, suspended fireplaces with a 360°-pivoting hearth. This disruptive and visionary design has become iconic, today a legend in international contemporary design.
Our values
OUTSTANDING SAVOIR-FAIRE, "MADE IN FRANCE"
Every Focus fireplace is made in France by artisans who shape, burnish and assemble the steel by hand with a rare savoir-faire. The Focus metalworks’ craftsmanship, innovation and excellence has won it the French label of a ‘Living Heritage’ company (Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant), where it joins an exclusive club of prestigious French firms.
