Fire

EcoSmart Fire, an Australian company that makes “green” fireplaces, recently introduced the Vision, a freestanding, see-through unit with a flueless burner (no chimney required), which uses environmentally friendly ethanol. The Domus Design Collection, one of the Vision’s American distributors, sells it in a standard white or black frame ($6,125), as well as in custom colors. And in an ultramodern take on the hearth, Domus has incorporated EcoSmart’s flueless burners into some of its cabinets and credenzas, like the Studimo ($18,230) and the Cube ($20,575), as well as custom-made one-of-a-kind pieces, like the one above (prices vary). Domus Design Collection, 181 Madison Avenue (34th Street), (212) 685-0800 or ddcnyc.com. STEPHEN MILIOTI
