Focus Creation

[Word of the Week: Focus] For over 50 years, Focus has breathed its soul into each of its fireplaces, reinventing fire to render it sublime. Beyond the secrets of wood, gas or bioethanol combustion, Focus combines its technical expertise with its vision of designing magnetic creations. The design inspires and sets the tone; even with no fire burning, the bold, organic shape of a Focus fireplace catches the eye.   #designinnovation #madeinfrance #fireplace #productdesign #architecturebook #brandbook #businessorigins #wordoftheweek

[Word of the week: Farmhouse] A Focus employee, set about renovating the farmhouse purchased by Dominique Imbert stone by stone, in a project that went on over months.   Originally used as a warehouse, the long building became his home and the setting for all of his artistic experimentation, leading to the creation of one of the most iconic Focus fireplaces: the telescopic Filiofocus!   #fireplace #architecturebook #brandbook #businessorigins #wordoftheweek

[Word of the week: Origins] The iconic Focus fireplaces were born in a medieval village in the South of France named Viols-le-Fort.   Before these walls steeped in history became home to the Focus team, there was only a building in ruins, but a free spirit with a passion for life imagined the potential of these limestone foundations. Dominique Imbert – Focus creator – was an ardent visionary ready to take on anything to fulfil his artistic ambition.   #fireplace #architecturebook #brandbook #businessorigins #wordoftheweek

[Word of the Week: Dominique Imbert] “Tradition consists in inventing your epoch.” - d.i   Dominique Imbert – creator of Focus – studied literature, became "by accident" an ethnologist in Alaska, an assistant chef in Manhattan, and even a teacher in a Parisian lycée. Eventually, he devoted his life to sculpture and design in a small village in the South of France.   So, a self-taught designer? A blacksmith sociologist? A maverick company director? A humanist artist?   He was all of these at once!   #designinnovation #madeinfrance #fireplace #productdesign #architecturebook #brandbook #businessorigins #wordoftheweek

[Word of the Week: Australia] Since Dominique Imbert – artist and founder of Focus – created its first fireplace, Focus was chosen and inspired many architects for their creations. The opposite is also true, architecture inspires us and our partners to create beautiful things, even the most ephemeral ones.   Off to Australia, across the world, in a building that doesn’t exist anymore.   #designinnovation #madeinfrance #fireplace #productdesign #architecturebook #brandbook #architecture #wordoftheweek

[Word of the Week: Japan] From the outset, Focus has been the choice of the most reputed contemporary architects. With their sensibility, intuition and talent, they saw the full potential of these collector’s items from the very beginning and never disavowed it.   It all started in the 80s, when the architect Fukuo Taniwaki chose Focus not on or two but 300 times.   #designinnovation #madeinfrance #fireplace #productdesign #architecturebook #brandbook #architecture #wordoftheweek
