The fireplace in the vast majority of homes is fixed to one location, but the conceptual 'In frame' fireplace looks to identify what could be done if it was actually moveable to suit different preferences.
The fireplace works by incorporating a freestanding design that can be placed in the middle of a room or mounted on a wall to increase the flexibility of the appliance for different homes and owner preferences. The integrated frame enables clothing or towels to be hung on it to warm them up as you get ready in the morning or even as a way to dry your laundry.
The conceptual 'In frame' fireplace is the design work of YoungGyu Kwon and acknowledges an increasing need for new approaches to old-fashioned home products.
