Designed by John Dimopoulos and Winner of the 2009 Design Award, Australian International Design Awards, the Zeta Fireplace by Ecosmart Fire is stylish and striking.
The Zeta fireplace is nothing if not original. Designed by John Dimopoulos, director of Geoform, Design and Architects Firm in Sydney. The EcoSmart Zeta fireplace is so-named because of its elliptical shape and pays homage to its Greek 'origins'.
A clever fusion of timber, leather and stainless steel, the portable Zeta fireplace sits on a brushed or polished stainless steel swivel base. The plywood body of the fire is shaped from a high frequency heated aluminum mold into the perfect elliptical shape. A ventless stainless steel firebox insert is moulded to the internal face of the plywood, and the outer surface is upholstered in leather. The toughened glass screens that sit either side of the fire enhance the stunning visual effect created by the flame.
The Zeta fireplace is available in different leather colors including Ciocolatta, Nero, Ranch Hide and Latte.
Like all other EcoSmart Fireplaces, the Zeta is fueled by denatured ethanol, an environmentally friendly, renewable biofuel.
About the Desginer
Visionary Australian architect John Dimopoulos works to architectural principals that use discipline and rigour and has a clear philosophy: he likes to put the fun back into function. It's certainly evident in his inspired design of the EcoSmart Fire Zeta, one of our most prestigious and awarded designer fireplaces
From a design sketched on a tablecloth over dinner, the Zeta evolved from John's long association with The Fire Company and a mutual respect for innovation and design versatility.
He was the first architect in Australia to specify the EcoSmart Fire and has embraced the concept ever since. John knows how to push the limits of design but still keeps things simple, a design approach that works well with EcoSmart Fire.
EcoSmart Fire brings an open fire back to the masses and is fantastically green. I love the fact that you can play with the framing of fire in a formal way, using materials that complement the mesmerising, kaleidoscopic effect of fire - all possible because you don't need a flue. -- John Dimopoulos
