01.5 'Stonestove' by Dick van
Hoff for Weltevree

Created by Dutch designer Dick van Hoff as a one-off in 1999, the 'Stonestove' has been rekindled for the 21st century and put into production. The result, made from Cor-Ten steel encased in heat-resistant concrete, offers a functional domestic wood burner with industrial good looks. Van Hoff, co-founder of Dutch design company Weltevree, has also created the ‘Tilestove' – a contemporary take on the traditional tiled stove – for Dutch ceramics manufacturer Royal Tichelaar Makkum. Both have won our hearths and minds.

Key features: The domestic wood burner with industrial looks is Van Hoff's 'modern translation of a traditional heating concept'
Material: Cor-Ten steel, concrete
Previous projects by designer: Various objects for Droog; manual food processors now at Rotterdam's Museum Boijmans van Beuningen; co-founded Weltevree in 2007
Based:Arnhem, the Netherlands
