Many housing owners draw it up in a minimalist style, using as few details and accents as possible, focusing on strictness and conciseness. But what to do if you suddenly wanted to supplement such a room with a fireplace? Put a classic fireplace, which will be like a thunder? Of course not. There are ultra-modern fireplaces made in high-tech style. It is about them that the question will be in this article.
High-tech style is an urban direction that develops the traditions of constructivism and glorifying technological achievements of civilization. Furniture and even household appliances in such interiors are functional and often have an unusual, even extravagant form.
This also applies to fireplaces that are made of metal, mirrors, glass ceramics and heat -resistant glass. Designers and manufacturers do not get tired of experimenting, mixing traditions with innovation, classics with ar-deco and creating amazing effects. As a result, fireplaces gain completely unexpected forms. For example, there is a fireplace in the shape of a sink, which is made of weapons steel and covered with black refractory paint. It connects with the ceiling with a long thin chimney, which creates the impression that the sink soars in the air.
Of the more calm options, we highlight the fireplaces in the form of polygons or a prism of glass ceramic and stained metal. There are fireplace fireplaces that have an elongated shape and strict appearance, although they can be painted in a variety of colors. They are made of steel and color ceramics. Other models are made of refractory glass and steel, including stainless. In general, the leaders among the materials for the production of fireplaces in the high-tech style remain weapon steel, ferrous metal and refractory glass.
It is also possible a combination of classic stone with metal, the combination of smooth and rough textures, bright color and strict shape. Cast iron furnaces and portals with cast -iron bas -reliefs create an amazing effect if connected to tiles, dark wood with mosaics. The most important thing in these cases is to remain within the framework of the rigid minimalistic requirements, which is the differs of the high-tech.
And finally, let’s say some national features of ultramodern fireplaces. French fireplaces are aesthetic and elegant, they seem to confirm the sophistication, aristocracy and taste of the owners. English models seem to contain all the traditions of good old England, they are conservative and somewhat stiff. The fireplaces of German manufacturers are distinguished by a strict and simple form, there is nothing superfluous in them.
