The origin of Focus Fires dates back to 1967. It was cold in the south of France and Dominique Imbert was restoring a ruined farmhouse, stone by stone, in the village of Viols-le-Fort. With salvaged scraps of metal, the former humanities professor with a passion for metalwork, addressed this problem by forging his first fireplace. A smoldering smile of iron hanging from the sky: the first Focus was born. A year later, this first fireplace would give rise to a second, which was revolutionary in every sense of the word. As with its predecessor, the fireplace was suspended, but this time the hearth could pivot 360° to face any direction. Several enthusiastic friends wanted their own ‘rotating hearth’ – Gyrofocus in Latin. And thus began the history of Focus and its iconic Gyrofocus fireplace.

Founded in 1999 within the historic city of Lichfield, Flamerite continues a proud family tradition of crafting British-made electric fires.  With a rich history, Flamerite has earned multiple awards, both in the UK and internationally.  Their unwavering commitment is singular in nature: to manufacture high quality, innovative electric fireplaces in the UK, adhering to the utmost standards and distributing cutting edge technology that sets the benchmark for this industry.
