Inspired by Focus creation

Since 1967, Focus has been designing, manufacturing and selling stoves and fireplaces with a contemporary design under the creative mind of Dominique Imbert. The company is headquartered in the south of France, where the entire range of Focus products is designed and manufactured. Dominique Imbert, the father of the brand, from the very beginning had in mind a fireplace, the function of which is not only to heat the environment, but that could become part of it, contributing to comfort, coziness and style.

Today the Focus is a reputable fireplace brand, more and more often chosen by designers and architects who can offer their customers a wide range of outdoor and indoor fireplaces. The most famous model, which has become a true icon of the brand, is the Gyrofocus, whose design by Dominique Imbert dates back to 1968 and consists of a central, suspended and 360 ° rotating fireplace. A breakthrough product both in terms of design and technical properties, also awarded the Pulcher Prize in 2009 and exhibited in numerous museums around the world. Many Focus fireplaces burn wood and this renewable resource is managed responsibly by a company that belongs to SER (Union Renewable Energies) and is a representative of Flamme Verte, a brand that ensures that all products covered by it do not affect the quality of the indoor air used. to be installed. Thanks to the founder's strong attachment to his place of origin, Focus production was never outsourced, which always contributed to employment in a typically "difficult" area such as the Languedoc region. Today, Focus continues to invest in improving its products and working environment.

Focus: designer fireplaces, stoves and grills Whether wall-mounted or suspended from the ceiling, intended for indoor or outdoor use, Focus fireplaces can be considered pieces of equipment in themselves. Lensfocus is a wall-mounted gas fireplace that takes the appearance of a lens or porthole. This model is able to emphasize the character of the house in a small space, giving it an original and bohemian look. The flame is enclosed in hermetic glass, suction is carried out by an independent system, and the operation and control of the fire is enabled by the pilot. Thoughtful down to the last detail, available in black, white or gray, this fireplace complies with all applicable safety and energy efficiency regulations. Slimfocus is a wood-burning wall fireplace that immediately stands out with its innovative aesthetics, a brand legend. Central, suspended and hermetically sealed, it is intended for low-energy houses. External ventilation is directly connected to the external smoke outlet without affecting the indoor air quality. Also available in a swivel version, Slimfocus, with its periscope shape, introduces an innovative solution to any type of environment. Another distinctive model in the range of wood-burning fireplaces is, for example, the Domofocus, a hanging fireplace that is considered to be the younger brother of the larger and most popular Gyrofocus. Rotary, with a delicate and shapely silhouette, finished with anti-corrosive and anti-corrosive enamel to ensure the highest level of comfort. The pillar of the creation of Focus is "Good Ecological Practice", interpreted from various perspectives. First, fireplaces are always and exclusively made of recyclable materials, and the models have at least a five-year warranty, although French regulations allow a much shorter service life. Every little detail must correspond to the concept of "Care for Sustainability". For example, catalog printing is entrusted to an Imprim'Vert-certified printer to ensure the proper management of the chemical products used in the printing process.

Focus, the birth of designer fireplaces The history of Focus is very long, as is that of its founder. Dominique Imbert was born in Montpellier in 1940 and studies at the universities of Paris and London. He became an ethnologist in Alaska and then a professor of literature in Paris. After four years of schooling, he realized that this was not his way. He left his hometown at the foot of the Cevennes in a small town 25 km north to pursue much more manual professions such as welding, forging and carving in iron, stainless steel and bronze. Although he had never had an artistic training, for example in subjects such as drawing or architecture, Imbert soon showed an inward inclination towards these fields. A passion that has been officially recognized by the National Award for Creativity (Paris 1995), the Gold Medal for Design Trophies (Paris 1995-1997-2001), the Batiman Saloon Innovation Award (November 1999) and numerous exhibitions in museums around the world, including the Museum Guggenheim in New York. The real consecration, however, came when he was asked to personally create a bespoke model for the world-renowned architect Norman Foster. Today, Focus can count on almost a hundred collaborations, an export volume of 50% of its production and a Made in France style that has remained unchanged over time. At the core of Focus's creation is the idea that fashion is fading away, but fireplaces are not. Therefore, the company pays little attention to contemporary contributions in order to open up to limitless and limitless creativity. Everything should be functional and beautiful at the same time, seductive and strong.
