Freestanding chimney acts as informal room divider

Platonic Fireplace Company, The

Freestanding chimney

Architect Henry Harrison of The Platonic Fireplace Company has designed a freestanding chimney as an informal divider between two rooms.

This was part of the company’s Firescheme one-offs and special commissions service.

This bespoke service is suitable for creating fireplaces in unusual situations.

Firescheme commissions are priced from around GBP1,750.

In this latest commission, the freestanding chimney is intended to allow both spaces to share a single fireplace.

The ’invisible’ Socrates burner is set with special fire pebbles and the flames can be controlled remotely.

Fireproof glazing screens the flames on both sides.
