Bologna, Italy
Marco Fumagalli from the Marcarch design studio collaborates with Palazzetti—a company that specializes in fireplaces, pellet, and wood-burning stoves among others—to present the new elegant, sealed pellet stove with a perfectly circular shape named Vivienne.
Vivienne’s design and sustainable concept recently won a 2022 Green Good Design Award from The Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design and The European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies.
It features the exclusive TC3 technology which guarantees great advantages for the user and for the environment.
This technology makes it possible to burn even the unburned ash that falls back into the burn pot so at the end of the process only minute mineral particles—that are no longer combustible—will remain optimizing both efficiency and savings.
TC3 also allows the automatic cleaning of the brazier reducing the cleaning operations by the user guaranteeing high efficiency and time-saving.
Another important feature is that the air can be ducted in different rooms and quickly heat them thanks to the dedicated Palazzetti AirPro2 and AirPro3 technology.
Regarding its design, Vivienne is a minimal device and presents a round-shaped steel cladding.
The two painted metal sides (available in moka, white, and black color) envelop the stove by giving their profile the impression of a base with a concave perimeter actually remaining linear and with a simple industrialization process.
The upper part is designed to give the maximum air circulation and the maximum yield.
The top part is made out of metal with all the cuts aligned to the heat curves so to obtain the maximum performance available.
From an aesthetic point of view, another important element is the choice of a total black curved glass door which becomes transparent only when the stove is on; thanks to the light emitted when on, Vivienne makes the user enjoy the flame that burns inside.
The front hot air outlet provides the user with a cozy feeling when before the stove and a firebox in Magnofix, a special refractory mix that optimizes combustion and heat radiation.
The rationalization of the components make up the aesthetic part of the product so as to limit the environmental and economic impact.
Each component can be disassembled and recycled without waste for the environment.
