As I was sitting in my ID 340 Human Dimensions in Housing and Interiors class this last week, we were talking about interior indoor air pollution and how fireplaces provide Co2 for interiors, causing air pollution. Well after my professor showed me this really interesting picture of a contemporary glass portable fireplace that was a size of a brief case, I knew I found my design for this weeks Design of the Week.

Fireplace Design:
Believe it or not, there is a design aspect of overall fireplace design. Fireplaces are a very important piece of design to a room. Fireplaces can bring a room warmth and comfort in your home. As we all know fire ever since caveman days have been a very important aspect to our world today, it is what we use to stay warm and how to cook our foods. All throughout Centuries we have seen fireplaces in homes all over.
In todays modern design of fireplaces we use these products to add a unique never seen before atmosphere of the room. As well as to attract attention, you can use a fireplace as a center piece to a room. A certain type of fireplace, can change the overall look and feel of a room as well. Fireplaces today come in many varieties, as well as eco friendly fires within the overall fireplace. Different kinds of fire-places such as a corner fireplaces will typically have two sides with a glass cover, with a side higher than the other side. These types of corner fireplaces are ideal for rooms with less wall or small space. All over the world today there are so many different types of fireplaces that come in all kinds of different textures and colors as well. We are so used to our typical fireplaces with wood and mantels that I think a lot of us are not truly educated on the new modern way of fireplace design. So this is why below I included very popular modern design types of fireplaces.
