I'd almost forgotten about the Olympics until I saw the Olympiq Fireplace from Safretti. The Olympiq Fireplace was designed to look like the Olympic torch, and it does, except it is a lot more useful.
The Olympiq Fireplace may look like just a contemporary fireplace, but it also doubles as both a wok and a grill. The Olympiq Fireplace can run off of coal, wood, or bioethanol so it is safe to use indoors or out.
Combining functionality of several items into one is a growing trend and Safretti managed to pull it off perfectly with the Olympiq Fireplace.
