This seminal design, created by Dominique Imbert in 1968, was the first suspended, 360° pivoting, modern wood fireplace. It was revolutionary as much for its technical design as its groundbreaking style. Its ease of installation and heat efficiency have also contributed to make this hanging fireplace the signature model and symbol of Focus.
This international classic has been exhibited in the Bordeaux Contemporary Art Museum (1996), the National Centre of Contemporary Art in Grenoble (1997), and in New York’s Guggenheim Museum (1998).
In 2009, it won first prize in Italy’s Pulchra design competition, in which 74,425 international online voters chose the Gyrofocus from a selection of 100 designer objects as the ‘World’s Most Beautiful Object’.
