In Northern Europe, stoves typically exhibit a minimalist design, devoid of decorative embellishments, often crafted predominantly from metal and finished in black.
Edilkamin aimed to enter the Nordic market with a novel product that aligns with the local aesthetic while possessing a distinctive character.
Whynot designers sought to reimagine the Nordic design ethos by deviating from the conventional linear and rational shapes, infusing a touch of Italian style into both form and finishes.
“The stove serves as the canvas for the fire, the unequivocal focal point; our intention was to accentuate the fireplace by slightly cantilevering it from the base, creating the impression that the stove is ‘presenting’ the fire.”
The overall design of the Fjord wood-burning stove is both essential and monolithic, featuring a spacious glass door to accentuate the mesmerizing dance of flames.
What sets the stove apart is the side profile, characterized by a 45° line and a displacement of the combustion chamber, creating the illusion of forward movement.
The pedestal serves dual functions: a capacious and convenient drawer for logs, with a customizable facade available in three materials—wood, black stone, and soapstone.
Fjord embodies simplicity with a touch of uniqueness, blending a square form with dynamic elements—a harmonious equilibrium of contrasting qualities.
