This has to be THE cosyest, glittery-est fireplace we ever did see. And we'd love one for winter.

'Piet' is young Swedish designer Fredrik Hylten-Cavallius' Industrial Design Master thesis project; a qualification he gained this year from Lund University in Sweden.

"I started this project by giving myself the theme fire. I found that although we were very dependent upon fire just a few generations ago, it has become a scarce commodity in our modern homes. Could I create a product that brought fire back into our apartments?

I found the ethanol burner technology to be a good solution since it doesn’t give any smoke or soot and therefore it doesn’t need a chimney. But the chimneyless stoves sold today are either retro copy fireplaces or very minimalistic steel and glass products. I wanted to do something else." He says.

And that he did.

Named Piet in tribute to the Danish architect and mathematician Piet Hein - since the stove has the form of a super elliptic egg - the fireplace with its brass reflector would be the perfect addition to pretty much any room in the house, and since its super portable, you don't need ever to make any final decisions about location.

This gets a massive M.E. thumbs up.
