Get Cobain out of your head, ’cause this isn’t Nirvana related. I’m talking about this slick fireplace from Arkiane. It’s called the ICOYA and although it won’t do much except keep your mansion warm, it’s certainly a statement piece. Rather than question how much it costs, why not draw up conversation on how you got it for your significant other and make yourself look good for a change.
Siberia. You’re locked in a vicious poker game worth a $5 million pot. The wind howls outside and wood creaks with every movement. You look at the host. You and him both know that it’s cold and a fire is in order. The fireplace is out of commission, though, so what are you going to do? You could reach for that portable fireplace but you’ll have to forfeit your hand.
Easy! I’ll whip out my tabletop fireplace from Apoll. Sure, it set me back like $675 and shipping but what’s money when you have the warmth of a fire gracing your frozen hands? With Sterno-like fuel and a glass and steel frame, you won’t have any trouble getting some heat out of this gadget.
What better way to “accidentally” burn down your home and all of your loved ones sleeping peacefully inside than with this Travelmate portable fireplace by Conmoto. Oops! I didn’t mean to kick it over. Now all of my possessions are burning around me. The Mexico City fire fighting force does not approve. Good thing I have insurance. Alright, horrible thought, but what makes this portable fireplace noteworthy is it burns on bio-ethanol liquid fuel. It is a smokeless flame, preventing any chance of suffocation in the middle of the night while your hot boxing your room with one of these suitcase-looking fireplaces.
At $3,300, you better hope that insurance fraud bit you’re trying to pull will pay off. Otherwise, you’re down the three grand, all of your belongings, and are officially a single bachelor again. One who also happens to be homeless. If only that Porsche Cayenne fire truck got to your house faster.
The Cyclone Firetube from Heat N Go is one of the cooler household gadgety objects that we have ever seen. The Cyclone is ACTUALLY a tube of fire in your room of choice. Since it is incorrect to refer to this as a fireplace, lets just call it “fire art”. Heat N Glo offers both custom made Cyclones and system editions.
At 15,000 BTU’s, the Firetube releases a comfortable amount of heat, even for smaller spaces. The customized versions allows buyers to produce a total unique work of art out of the installation to fit the house decor. The flames are encased in glass cylinders for a 360 degree view. How much will the Firetube run you? You’re looking at a suggested retail price of $3799. Better start saving. I know I am. — Andrew Dobrow
