Those globe fireplaces look too much like chairs. I’d be afraid to accidentally slump down in one if I was in a drunken stupor! But yay for lawsuit money. As for the wall mounted one…HELL NAW :( unless my walls were made out of stone or something. Anyhow I wonder how much power these things use

Curious about exhaust. Some have provisions for exhaust, others don’t.
Thank you, Deborah

Sure, its a pretty design but people forget that fire makes a mess, all that glass will be covered in black real fast

design wise they are all awesome. starting with the first one as probably coolest looking to me. but most practical would probably be the glass design with cone above it. makes sense. provides heat and fumes or exhaust go up and out. plus it looks GREAT! if we all just wanted to create concept im sure we could come up with some pretty interesting ideas.

Benigna Marko loves all the new creative fireplaces. These are just fabulous. Benigna Marko enjoys knowing that now and then the fire will cracle. And, how nice it is to know that just in time for this cold winter time. Benigna Marko

to answer some questions…the chemical that these fires burn does not emit any residue other than nontoxic gases, so the glass will not turn black. Also, most do not need ventilation, since they burn clean! The cool part about these is that if you have a metal cup anyone can make a fire like this without the high cost. Just poor the flammable liquid into the cup, decorate it with rocks or other nonflammable objects and then light the liquid with a match.
I got this from there site:
“Planika Fires use a special liquid FANOLA®. As a result, the fire is free of smoke or smell. “http://www.planikafires.com/how_it_works

Well then, way to take something warm & comforting….and turn it into something cold & sterile.
Ooohh! Look how minimal I can design something that’s traditionally so heavy & cluttered.
I’m not saying you’ve gotta have a fireplace out of a Dickens’ novel….but this ultra-sleek/modern-version-of-Miami-Vice …is for sh**it!

Some amazing designs here. Fireplaces have looked the same for so long. Most homes do not need fireplaces for heat anymore, but the allure of a real fire still remains. These fires offer limitless possibilities, that will set the mood for any room. I have a decorative hole in the wall fire in my home. It took me 10 months finding the right one, but it makes my room.

Hmmm. Not one of these looks the least bit efficient or cozy. Fireplaces should be built to be efficient AND comforting, and these are neither. Who cares if it is clean when it does not keep you warm effectively? Please tell us what design school the designers went to so we can let youngsters know where not to attend!

These are amazing and so beautiful. I love the fact that they are clean burning and offer all the beauty and comfort of a traditional fireplace.
Imagine being able to move your personal fireplace from room to room – very romantic!
Thank you for this wonderful post.

They look great but I would prefer the real old fashion fire place. The pop and smell of the wood, the sod and all that.

Greed For Quiet Fireplace is my favorite! Love the idea!

Nice designs! They migh be adapted for different needs.
Here in Japan fireplaces are not so common, we use air conditioner, eletric heater and kerosene heater. Besides most of the popular houses are made of wood and accidents that cause fire are frequently, specialy in old constructions. But, if these project could respond for this demand, it’ll be great.

To the comments above that said “Form-Function=American” take a look at the third photo of the Zeta Fireplace at the top- there is a Euro dollar sign in the window and what appears to be French writing on the window across the way. Perhaps you are being a tad arrogant in your assumptions.

Oh, and I quote from the top of this page: “Modern fireplaces and creative fireplace designs from all over the world.”

Some are clearly natural gas fireplaces, which like your stove do not require venting.

I love these. There just so different and really create a great wow factor.

Another idea for a modern fireplace is to turn your flat screen TV into a fireplace with Plasma Candy’s Fireplace DVD. It’s a pretty good substitute if you don’t have enough money for one of the amazing fireplaces in this post. :)

These are elegant, but I’m looking for a long, LOW gas fireplace that would go under a window. Six to eight feet would be WONDERFUL. Any idea where I could LOOK for such as this?
