What a pleasure to discover The Platonic Fireplace Company, whose founder, Henry
Harrison, is the design genius behind some of the most beautiful fireplaces I have ever
seen. Using pebbles, geometric shapes, architectural fragments and even a solid bronze
bowl, he creates elegant and stunning works.
EVENING STANDARD HOMES AND PROPERTY
For the modern minimalist, designs from The Platonic Fireplace Company are Ideal.
These gas fires combine a hole-in-the-wall with a visible or non-visible burner, and a
choice of pebbles, beach combings or stone columns as your 'fire objects.' The beauty
of this concept is that you can update the look and change the fire objects whenever you
like.

If your home is not really designed to include a hole-in-the-wall style fireplace, then you
may like to consider the Electrofire from the Platonic Fireplace Company. A triumph of
contemporary design, the Electrofire consists of clear granules, illuminated from beneath
by LEDs. Capable of being sited anywhere, the Electrofire is the perfect alternative to a
real fire.

appeal, it's hard to beat these minimalist pioneers.
LIVING ETC
It was master fire-maker Henry Harrison of The Platonic Fireplace Company in Twickenham who pioneered
the 'scuptural fire' movement. Calling himself a 'Radical minimalist,' this imaginative architect has
been designing and making bespoke alternative fires for more than 20 years, creating a new approach to
flames and heat. His concept is simple: start with a 'hole-in-the-wall,' with or without a surrounding
steel frame, then add a gas burner and let the flames lick through a pile of 'fire objects.'
EVENING STANDARD, HOMES AND PROPERTY
Probably the first to find a way out of the trap of the naff false coal or wood-log gas fires was
Henry Harrison...today he's Mr Modern Fires.
THE TIMES
Architect Harrison can claim to be a pioneer in modern fires. He has been developing designs for
contemporary interiors since the mid-80s and selling them to such design luminaries as Sir Norman Foster,
Rick Mather and Terence Conran... No-one does hole-in-the-wall fireplaces quite like Platonic.

If you go cold at the thought of the traditional log-effect gas fire you may warm to the look of Platonic's
range of architect-designed geolog fireplaces: very geometric, very now
EVENING STANDARD
Time was when you had to be cold to be cool. Gas log fires were just not for the visually aware people. But
now there is a solution that makes the real thing look positively ethnic. Why, they ask themselves, need logs
be log-shaped
