Portuguese industrial designer Rui Pereira works in Copenhagen, creating designs with which he intends to educate people’s tastes and raise their collective environmental awareness. CFile has written about his work previously.
The Faro fireplace is a Pereira design made out of material that includes red clay. It is another collaboration with Japanese designer Ryosuke Fukusada.
From the designer:
“In a society that is increasingly individualistic and where the massive use of technology separates us, we propose an object that uses fire to bring people together.
“FARO is a mini fireplace that can be placed either indoors or outdoors, through the use of an ethanol burner.
“We want to explore a different way of using this fire source. By using material such as red clay, hammered copper and aluminum we wanted to evoke the memory of the traditional wood-stove.
“The user may also choose to use wood instead of ethanol when placing it outdoors.
“The pieces that compose this product were produced in Portugal, Japan and Italy, using different craft techniques, like the red clay pottery and the hammered copper.”
