sleek smooth carl mertens

design-oriented diners probably know all about german design wizard carl mertens,

but did you know that the company is doing a tabletop fireplace?

it’s comprised of slate and stainless steel, and it beats a boring old oil lamp anyday.

the only question is whether i like it better than the one wolf udo wagner has designed.

hmmm…

click on carl for more info.

a cozy fire to keep you cool, by ponton

really, i was going to wait until it got colder to write about this, but i’m sure you can visualize this in your living room many, many months from now…

behold the urban campfire interpretation, from wolf udo wagner for german company ponton.

wolf strives to bridge the gap between manmade objects and nature through his designs.

you will have to tell me if it is cooler than carl mertens‘ piece in the other post, because i can’t figure it out.
