Fire Jacks to Debut in London Design Week
September 17, 2007 | Katerina Praskova
"This is the ultimate gas fire accessory," says Jules Brinton, retired Vice-chairman of the BIDA.
Designboom is showcasing Lynn Kingelin's Fire Jacks - a novel twist on the traditional ceramic fuel design for gas fires - in the Designersblock 'Handled With Care' exhibition during London's Design Week in September 2007.
Nostalgically drawing on the traditional game of jacks, Fire Jacks is an innovative modern alternative to faux coal, pebbles and logs that have populated the market for so long.
The unusually striking range is designed for use with both contemporary and traditional gas fireplaces, as well as gas fire baskets - and is set to become a "must have" design classic.
Already creating a stir for the clever play on nostalgia that combines style with functionality, Verine, one of the UK's leading fire manufacturers has licensed the Fire Jacks on an exclusive basis for inclusion in its new product range.
Fire Jacks are available to purchase from just £140 RRP in over a 1000 specialist fireplace outlets across the UK, Northern Ireland and Europe.
