Modern fireplace with award winning design - Scan 87
Scan stoves are the proud winners of this prestigious design prize in the Product Design category, with the Scan 87 wood burner, from Niels Kjeldsen Design.
Large wood burning stove that balances aesthetics and practicality
For most of us, a wood burning stove has a number of key functions in the home. It must provide heat, be easy to use, be visually attractive and also work as a natural focal point in the room. With its curved lines, intuitive air controls and 160 degree view of the flames, Scan 87 fulfills all of these criteria. Scan 87 is a large, clean-burning stove with ample space for wood. With a focus on aesthetics and user-friendliness, including a cool glass handle, simple ash removal and, of course, efficient heating, Scan 87 combines reputable Danish design and smart functionality at its best.
Wood burning winner of Red Dot Design Award 2022
The Red Dot Design Award is an international design competition that each year makes awards in three different categories: Product Design, Brands & Communication Design and Design Concept.
The jury comprises some 50 experts from a variety of disciplines from around the world. They test, discuss and assess each product individually. Participants in the Product Design category are assessed on criteria such as aesthetics, functionality, innovation and, not least, outstanding design. A Red Dot Award is clear proof of design excellence, and we are proud and grateful to be able to add the modern fireplace Scan 87 to the list of winners.
A modern expression of Scan’s DNA
Niels Kjeldsen is a graduate of the Danish Design School and has operated the Niles Kjeldsen Design bureau since 2003. His signature style is simple and functional, which is reflected in his work on Scan 87.
In close collaboration with Scan stoves, there was a common objective of creating a new wood burner with a modern appearance, firmly rooted in Scan’s DNA. Kjeldsen explains: “I was awe-struck when I was commissioned by Scan stoves to design a completely new wood burning stove. This new fireplace had some very specific requirements – it had to have a large combustion chamber and visibility of the flames should be as wide as possible.”
Fireplace with smart details and industrial elegance
The modern fireplace Scan 87 offers many functional details with finesse.
A guillotine door that elegantly slides up and down is just one of the design elements that, in combination, made this large woodburning stove an innovative and user-friendly fireplace. Kjeldsen describes the design language as industrial, but also accommodating.
The handle on the door is another detail that distinguishes it from other fireplaces. Since the wood stove has a very large heat output, traditional solutions were challenging in terms of both design and functionality. Kjeldsen wanted to maintain symmetry. This resulted in an integrated central handle, made from non-heat-conductive glass that stays clean in use.
Kjeldsen describes the door’s functionality as a stroke of genius that Scan’s engineers can take credit for. It moves silently, elegantly and effortlessly up and down. As well as being an aesthetic design element, the construction also helps reduce smoke in the room when lighting the fire.
