Bioethanol fireplace
Elevate your interior with simplicity and refinement.
The essentials
Why choose a bioethanol fireplace?
A bioethanol fireplace answers the desire to enjoy the pleasure of a real flame without the constraints of a traditional fireplace. It requires no flue, no connection, and no major installation work. At Maison Fondé, we designed Hestia so that assembly is simple and accessible, with no special tools required.
Its shape and silhouette also make it easy to rethink its placement within a room. Set on a flat surface, Hestia becomes a true focal point, whether in a living room or a contemporary living space.
We also wanted the fireplace to be a genuine decorative object. Its form, inspired by a pebble resting on its base, was designed to be admired from every angle.
Operation and safety: enjoy the flame with peace of mind
At Maison Fondé, we pay close attention to the design and use of our bioethanol fireplace. Hestia is fitted with a 304 stainless steel burner and a 1.5-litre tank.
Depending on the burner opening, a flame can last between 3 and 5 hours per refill. A smaller opening produces a lower flame and extends its burn time.
Lighting and extinguishing must be done with care. Hestia comes with a lighter and a spatula for handling the flame safely, at a proper distance from the hearth.
Like any open flame, Hestia must be used under supervision and in a ventilated room. It is certified to the European standard EN 16647 by SGS, dedicated to decorative ethanol-burning appliances.
Safety standards and usage recommendations
We recommend always following the instructions provided with Hestia. In particular, the burner must never be refilled while still hot.
The choice of fuel also matters. We recommend using a fireplace-grade bioethanol with a minimum purity of 95%. A slight alcohol smell may be noticeable when lighting. Once the flame is established, no lingering odour should remain with a suitable fuel.
Complete combustion in our burner allows you to enjoy a flame with no smoke or soot buildup under normal conditions of use.
Safety standards and usage recommendations
At Maison Fondé, we designed Hestia to be as simple to use as possible. The fireplace is delivered with everything needed for assembly, and no special tools are required.
The tubes come with pre-fitted threaded connections. The different parts can therefore be assembled easily to form a stable structure, provided the fireplace is placed on a flat surface.
We also offer an augmented reality feature directly from the product pages. With the "See it in your home" button, you can view Hestia at true scale in your own space before ordering. This feature makes it easy to check its proportions, placement, and overall look in the room.
Maintenance stays simple. Regular surface cleaning and proper burner care help preserve the fireplace's appearance over time. There are no ashes or soot to clean up, unlike a traditional fireplace.
What criteria matter most when choosing a bioethanol fireplace?
The choice of a bioethanol fireplace depends above all on how it fits into your interior. Dimensions, silhouette, and finish are all elements to consider in order to create a harmonious whole.
At Maison Fondé, we chose a rounded shape inspired by a pebble resting on its base. Hestia was designed to be admired from every angle and to blend naturally into different decorating styles.
Three finishes are currently available:
- Matte black, with a lacquered steel structure;
- Matte white, also in lacquered steel;
- Mirror-effect galvanized chrome, our signature finish.
Material also plays a role in Hestia's identity. The matte finishes are built on lacquered steel, while the Chrome version uses mirror-effect galvanized chrome.
Finally, tank capacity is an important factor in determining the desired burn time. With its 1.5-litre tank, Hestia offers between 3 and 5 hours of flame per refill, depending on the burner opening.
The practical everyday benefits of a bioethanol fireplace
We designed Hestia to bring more than just a flame into a home. It creates a visual presence and a distinctive atmosphere, while remaining simple to use.
Key benefits of a bioethanol fireplace include:
- A real flame that brings movement and life to the room;
- Complete combustion, with no smoke or soot under normal conditions of use;
- No flue or connection required;
- Simple assembly, with no special tools needed;
- Freedom to integrate it into different interior styles;
- A sculptural silhouette, designed to be admired from every angle;
- Three finishes to match Hestia to your decor.
The flame thus becomes a true part of the atmosphere. Its light naturally draws the eye and sets the scene for moments of relaxation, evenings with loved ones, or simply a quiet pause at home.
The customer experience: human support at every step
At Maison Fondé, we want the experience to go beyond simply choosing your fireplace. Our team is here for you before, during, and after your order, to answer any questions about Hestia, its assembly, or its use.
We offer, in particular, a visualization service that lets you see the fireplace in your own home, so you can picture it clearly before you buy.
We also pay close attention to the preparation and shipping of every order. Hestia comes with custom-designed packaging to protect the fireplace during transport.
Our French-based customer service team remains available afterward to support you. You can reach us by form, email, phone, or WhatsApp for any question about your order or your fireplace.
Hestia: Maison Fondé's sculptural bioethanol fireplace
At Maison Fondé, we envisioned Hestia as an object in its own right. Its story began with two years of work and research, driven by a simple ambition: to create a contemporary fireplace that naturally finds its place in a home.
Its rounded shape, inspired by a pebble resting on its base, gives it a recognizable silhouette. Its three finishes — matte black, matte white, and mirror-effect galvanized chrome — allow it to adapt to different decorating styles.
But Hestia is more than just its looks. We also refined its design to create a fireplace that's simple to assemble and use, fitted with a 304 stainless steel burner and a 1.5-litre tank.
With Hestia, we wanted to offer a different way of bringing fire into a home: a decorative object, a real flame, and a presence that transforms the atmosphere of a room.
