# Glassed-In Infernos The Apollo Tabletop Fireplace isn't All Smoke and Mirrors By Alex Scott | Published 2010-04-09 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apollo-tabletop-fireplace References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2010/04/09/coolest-fire-possible/) If there is one thing more entertaining than a television, it's a fireplace. They can, however, become a little stagnant after a while and need some spicing up. Along comes the [Apollo](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apollo-ballu-convection-heater) Tabletop Fireplace, with a flame that doesn't produce smoke. Don't go screaming "witch" just yet--this isn't some type of black magic, my friends. Designed by Wolf Wagner, the Apollo Tabletop Fireplace burns bio alcohol so it gives off a nice clean flame and doesn't leave your ivory walls stained with soot. Though it won't exactly heat your house, it does offer a nice center piece that you can gaze into blankly for hours, and really, who needs more than that? ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.6/10 - Popularity: 66% | Activity: 65% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Tabletop Fireplaces:** Tabletop fireplaces that use eco-friendly fuel are a hot trend for eco-conscious and design-savvy consumers. - **Smokeless Flames:** By providing consumers with a smokeless flame, products such as the Apollo Tabletop Fireplace offer a new trend in clean burning and environmentally friendly fireplaces. - **Indoor Fire Features:** With an increasing interest in indoor fire features, products like the Apollo Tabletop Fireplace can be an innovative way to add a design element while still being functional and eco-friendly. ### Who This Affects Most - **Home Improvement:** Home improvement retailers and manufacturers could see potential sales increases by offering eco-friendly indoor fire features, like tabletop fireplaces, that appeal to design-savvy consumers. - **Sustainable Energy:** The growth of eco-friendly products has spurred interest in sustainable energy development, leading to potential opportunities for companies to produce more and better eco-friendly fuel alternatives for products such as the Apollo Tabletop Fireplace. - **Interior Design:** Interior design companies could incorporate tabletop fireplaces, such as the Apollo Tabletop Fireplace, into their designs as a trendy and eco-friendly centerpiece. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Slick Modern Holographic Fireplaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/holographic-fireplace.md) - [Convenient Personal Fireplaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/personal-fireplace1.md) - [Portable Cylindrical Fireplaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ecosmart-fire-pillar-3t.md) - [Dining Table Fire Pits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tabletop-fire-pit.md) - [Smokeless Accent Fire Pits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cuisinart-tabletop-fire-pit.md) - [Cooking-Friendly Outdoor Fireplaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/regg-surprise.md) - [Smokeless Indoor Fire Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flame-fire-light.md) - [Communal Fireplace Coffee Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hearth-coffee-table.md) - [Dual-Fuel Tabletop Fire Pits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solo-stove-mesa-xl.md)
