The Stone and Rock fireplaces are something completely new on the market! With their appearance they resemble a wood-burning fireplace, but equipped with the modern BEV technology (Burning Ethanol Vapours), they ensure the complete combustion of bioethanol vapours and, therefore, no smoke, no unpleasant smell or soot. The fireplace is supplied in a self-supporting housing finished with DEKTON or SILESTONE from Cosentino. Assembly is clean and takes literally an hour, so you can opt for this type of appliance at any stage of interior finishing, without the need to renovate, build and connect a chimney or other installations. Both fireplaces come in 3 stylish finishes that fit in with the latest interior trends, while also harking back to classics that will always be on trend! To light Stone or Rock, all you need to do is sit on the sofa and press the START button on the remote control, or on the mobile app.
HOW DID IT ALL BEGIN?
The Planika story began in Australia near Ayers Rock, where Jaroslaw Dabrowski and Arthur Weilandt listened to Aboriginal tales about a mythical Epoch of Dreams by the bonfire. The aura of the fire inspired them to find a way to bring the same golden flame into contemporary interiors.
Although fireplaces have been present in our homes for centuries, a simple, traditional fire was not the option they were looking for.
They wanted to overcome the existing difficulties associated with a fire in an interior space – soot, ash and the obligatory chimney. After months spent designing and testing, the result was a product that combined beauty of form and comfort of use thanks to bio-ethanol fuel. But above all, a product that satisfies the atavistic need to communicate with fire.
PLANIKA 20 YEARS LATER
Initially, it was a simple, manual fireplace whose main advantage was design. From the beginning, the Planika staff had a plan to work with the best designers, to have a bespoke, impressive product. Planika worked with Christoph Pillet and Arik Levy – both world-renowned designers. They designed exceptional products. We even sold one of them to Bill Gates’ house.
However, it was the technology that was constantly on our minds. Jarosław, together with Planika engineers, wanted to build advanced solutions to make ethanol fireplaces safer and easier to use than ever before. We had to overcome many obstacles over the years, but there was never a moment of doubt that we could have the best pioneering technology on the market.
We took the biggest step 15 years ago with the Fire Line Automatic. This product paved the way for the entire BEV family of automatic products. The FLA3 has become our flagship product for the luxury market.
