The Vellum Fireplace Heats up the Home in a Contemporary Style

— June 30, 2011 — Art & Design
There's nothing like burning a couple of logs in a good old fireplace, but if you're looking for something that's more modern, check out the Vellum Fireplace by Cocoon Fires.

The Vellum Fireplace isn't your standard fireplace. Instead, it's a chic, contemporary version of the chimney and wood-burning stove that you're used to. Cocoon Fires has shaped the item into a pothole that's been mounted to a wall. The use of stainless steel and the bolts also gives it an industrial look which adds a cool, gritty touch to an already stylish fireplace. The Vellum can burn up to six hours if you're the type who really likes to stay cozy during the winter time next to some flaming heat. It's a great take on a traditional fireplace that's been updated beautifully for the modern home.
