Glamm Fire: You'll never see fireplaces in the same way again

Portuguese interior design is really hot right now. Take a look at Glamm Fire as a case in point. The Portuguese company design incredibly modern ethanol fireplaces that suit modern homes, even those with no chimneys. They recently displayed at the 100% Design show in London and I'm absolutely kicking myself that I spent the whole of Saturday dragging my long-suffering boyfriend around the Origins Craft and the Tent London exhibitions without realising that they'd be there! Still, I suppose I can always catch them next year. Anyway, back to Glamm Fire. The name really is appropriate for a company that has managed to harness the full sensuousness of an open fire in all of their designs. Even their advertising (strangely suffused with doves for some reason - perhaps they're promoting game fricassée?) is dark and luxurious with an opulent feel to it. From the fireplace with a champagne bucket attached to the side, to the large open fire with a magazine rack or the playful and quirky "cow" design, any one of these pieces would grace a Homes and Gardens penthouse loft shoot.
