Mads Miltersen

Feedback from architects and homeowners is evident in Jydepejsen's celebrated design acumen, which marries the elemental need for efficient home heating with the love of fine furnishings and graceful living.

Mads Miltersen heads the team with expertise in both industrial and decorative arts and is a champion for the "less is more" school of contemporary home fashion.

You'll see his influence in the spare lines and gentle curves, the "invisible" hinges on some units, the artfully sculpted soapstone on others, even the remote control unit was ergonomically designed by him to be aesthetically pleasing and comfortable to use.

 

Anders Nørgaard

Famed Danish Designer Anders Nørgaard is the architect behind the new Cubic series of stoves: "I did not just want to make a stove, I wanted it to be something more than that", says Anders, involved for about 2 years.

Among the seven models of varying sizes, some are floor models and others are directly attached on the wall. Anders Nørgaard designed shelves for firewood on a couple of the models. He explains that, "A stove can still be a large unit like the old cast-iron stoves."

Anders, who is building his own house, relates: "You have to have a stove - there's a special feeling about a fire."

Using ergonomic intelligence and pace-setting style savvy, Wolf fast-forwards traditional ceramic hearths of yesteryear into the aesthetically demanding, push-button world of the 21st century.
