PRODUCT WATCH: Focus’ latest outdoor fireplaces

Summer, according to Focus, should be spent outside surrounded by elegance and warmth. Hotel Designs gets cosy around the outdoor fire to understand the brand’s latest range of products…

Gathering around a fire is the highlight of convivial summer evenings.

But a Focus design gives the experience extra soul and style, making special moments of life, whether on vacation, on the terrace or by the pool, unforgettable.

Focus’s outdoor range, which includes seven models – Gyrofocus, Bathyscafocus, Domofocus, Emifocus, Ergofocus, Miofocus and Paxfocus available in two versions: rust or black paint with anti-corrosion treatment.  This range offers a warm welcome to guests in any location.

New for Summer 2020: compact and moveable, the amazing Bubble takes over the terrace.

The new Bubble brazier is designed as a wood-burning outdoor fire. Intended to be installed in a garden or on a terrace, for the city or country, it is a compact and chic heat source with flickering flames designed to be enjoyed on balmy summer evenings. Equipped with two castors (on the back) and measuring a compact 700 mm in diameter, this brazier can be easily moved on level ground. Its removable inner bowl makes for low maintenance while its anti-corrosion coating allows it to withstand the effects of environment,  protecting the quality of its finish and its design. Bubble is part of the brazier-barbecue range that includes the ever-popular Sigmafocus and Diagofocus.

Specialist outdoor treatments and finishes

With the rust version, the fireplaces are treated with acid in the factory to start the process which allows metal to age naturally. Whilst, on delivery, the rust-finished fires are orange, the outdoor installation will allow the rust to evolve over time. Rusty steel will darken and evolve a unique patina resembling old leather or patinated bronze. It is then, according to Focus its most authentic and resplendent.

In the matt black version, the paint has a specific anti-corrosion treatment. To benefit from the Focus guarantee, all outdoor models must be installed under cover and at least 10 km from the seaside.
