The environmentally-friendly Brooklyn fireplace will add style, warmth and simplicity to your home

The new Brooklyn biofuel fireplace by Living Flame is what home-heating dreams are made of. The open flame fireplace is available in a variety of sleek finishes, from brushed stainless to bronze and black. Here, stylist Alex Walls of Alex & Corban and The Block demonstrates how the minimalist design can fit into any home.

STYLISH AND SAFE

Because the Brooklyn runs on biofuel, it produces no air pollution or smoke, so there is no need for a chimney or venting. This means all the heat generated stays inside your home, and the fireplace can be installed anywhere – it’s perfect for small spaces and apartments. It is easy to install and use, and is more e icient than an electric or open fireplace. It’s a ordable too, coming in under $5000.

WHAT IS BIOFUEL?

Biofuels are natural fuels derived from plants or other living matter. They are more environmentally-friendly than fossil fuels as they are clean-burning and made from renewable sources. Bioethanol, the most common biofuel, is used in the Brooklyn fireplace. It is usually made from the fermentation of plants such as sugar cane.
