2025.06 - FOCUS EXTENDS ITS BIOETHANOL GENERATION WITH THE FILIOFOCUS 1600
A sculptural icon that offers more liberty than ever
Following the Gyrofocus, Ergofocus and Domofocus, Focus continues to expand its bioethanol range with the addition of an exceptional new model: the Filiofocus 1600. This launch opens an exciting new chapter in the history of this stylish, award-winning centrepiece, originally created for the architect Norman Foster.
THE PRIMACY OF DESIGN
With its conical hood suspended over a floor-standing fire basin, the Filiofocus 1600 asserts itself as a work of art in its own right. With a hearth diameter of 1.12 m and requiring a ceiling height of just 2.80 m (minimum), it offers Focus’s radical elegance in a size suited to contemporary spaces.
Its design is equally iconic and inviting, with the fire on its welcoming hearth visible from everywhere in the room. An attribute that has won over the many design enthusiasts in the hotel and restaurant industry who have chosen a Filiofocus for their reception, relaxation or dining areas.
FREEDOM OF INSTALLATION
Offering its singular models in alternative energy types allows Focus to bring the beauty of fire to places where a conventional fireplace would not be possible. As the bioethanol Filiofocus does not require connection to an external flue outlet or high ceilings, it opens up new installation possibilities: in apartments, spaces welcoming the public, areas where wood burning is prohibited, etc.
Equipped with a 15-litre tank that allows at least 12 hours of autonomy and operating by mains or battery (rechargeable), the model is as convenient as it is stylish.
FIRE IN ITS PUREST FORM
While the suspended fireplaces in Focus’s bioethanol range have flames that play around ceramic logs, the bioethanol Filiofocus 1600 has a stripped-down hearth. Its open flames dance over a glass cylinder, exposing fire in its most elemental state and reinforcing the vertical visual power of the fireplace.
All Focus bioethanol fireplaces are equipped with a remote control to switch them on and off (does not adjust heat output) and include safety features such as electronic ignition, shut-off in case of high temperature, and a built-in CO₂ sensor developed in collaboration with Ignisial Paris.
A CHOICE OF ENERGY TYPES
The Filiofocus 1600 now comes in three energy sources (wood, gas or bioethanol), enabling it to be adapted to any architectural context as well as local regulations. A trio of options that allow the choice of unparalleled design with ease of installation, anywhere.
