An Award Winner Gets a Makeover
Winner of the 2011 Good Design Award, Australian International Design Awards, the 2011 DesignEx Best New Product Award, and the 2011 IIDA/HD Award for Excellence, the Stix fireplace from EcoSmart Fire is undoubtedly cool.
Designed by Barcelona-based Japanese designer Hiroshi Tsunoda, the Stix fireplace looks good both indoors and out where it resembles a traditional camp fire.
“Consisting of varying-sized tubular stainless steel ‘sticks’ that are secured around an efficient 3 litre burner, the EcoSmart Fire Stix is powered by clean-burning, environmentally friendly bioethanol.”
Stylish, as well as practical (it can heat a 215 square foot space and last for 7-8 hours), Stix is sure to be a hit no matter where you use it. And now that it’s offered in a Gun Metal finish as well as Black, it’s easy to incorporate it in various settings.

Summertime, and The Livin’ Is…HOT
With heat advisories lasting well into the evening today, we’re not advocating you spend a whole lot of time outside. However, we shouldn’t allow this summertime heat to completely deprive us of enjoying our outdoor spaces (if you’re so lucky to have one). With that in mind, check out these great outdoor pieces…if you can handle the heat, that is.

Outdoor Fireplaces by EcoSmart
While the last thing you may want to think about during these hot summer days is a fireplace, EcoSmart has a line of beautiful ranges that will most certainly add a touch of style to your outdoor spaces.
Completely portable, these clean-burning ethanol ranges can be moved around to fit within your existing layout. And because they’re made from weather-resistant materials, you don’t have to worry about bringing them indoors to protect them.

Happy 1st Day of Summer!
It’s official. Summer is here. Never mind that DC has been experiencing summer-like heat for weeks now…
Let’s start the day with some great images of contemporary outdoor spaces.
The Great Outdoors: The Cantilever Collection
With the weather warming up it’s time to start thinking about heading outdoors. Give your outdoor space an updated look with pieces from Emu’s new Cantilever collection. Designers of this collection, Alessandro Andreucci and Christian Hoisl, combined Emu’s manufacturing tradition with the company’s tradition of experimenting with design. The collaboration resulted in the Cantilever armchair, low armchair, chaise and dining table.
