Focus · Dominique Imbert, 1993
“S’asseoir autour d’un feu, c’est être humain” — to sit around a fire is to be human. It burns wood, or gas with a remote in your hand — the same sculpture either way.
“360° fireplace with sliding glass panels,” says the brochure — a full cylinder of glass on a round pedestal, the fire visible from every chair in the room.
A wide matte-black conical hood over an 865 mm ring — 3 mm steel, drawn to a slim flue that runs clean to the ceiling.
The manual certifies this body for wood or a gas burner compliant with ANSI Z21.60 at 65,000 BTU/hr or less. One sculpture, two lives.

The maker’s numbers
The wood numbers below. On gas, the same body runs 27,000–42,000 BTU/hr of natural gas (27,000–43,500 on propane) through its ANSI Z21.60-certified burner, with flame adjustment, remote control and electronic ignition — the gas line runs up through the base.
These are the numbers we install to — every number above is Focus’s own published figure, nothing rounded by us, nothing guessed. We’re an authorized Focus dealer — the maker’s own locator lists our Coldwater showroom, with an Ergofocus Holographik hanging on display. See the maker’s own Meijifocus Bois page — brochure and manual on hand at the showroom.

“…the knowledge and guidance we received in determining size, location and finishing design was invaluable.”

Quick answers
The glass wants 26″ to the nearest wall, the ceiling wants 9 ft (274 cm), and the floor wants non-combustible protection (R≥0.6) in a 16″ radius from the glass in the US — 18″ in Canada — with the base at least 16″ above combustible flooring. Send us a photo of your room and we’ll confirm placement before you spend a dollar.
Yes — by the manual itself: this body is certified for wood or a gas burner compliant with ANSI Z21.60 at 65,000 BTU/hr or less. If you’d rather it be born on gas, we order it factory-dressed with the certified burner — remote in hand, same sculpture.
A WETT-certified crew — ours. A centre-of-room fireplace is a plumb-line job on an 8″ class-A chimney, so we treat the maker’s millimetres as law — and your annual sweep is one call to us.

Every wall is different — framing, venting, gas line — so your price is real, not a guess.
