In the autumn of 2000, star architect Norman Foster commissioned Dominique Imbert, artist and founder of Focus, to create a custom-designed model for the vast reception hall of the head office of a major company in the UK.
The Filiofocus 2000 central fireplace was designed for this specific commission. Following its creation, the Filiofocus made history by winning a gold medal in the Trophées du Design at the Batimat trade show in Paris, as well as a silver medal for design at the Concours de Design in Stuttgart.
High Quality that Lasts
FOCUS products are just as beautiful as they are functional. When in use, they can be considered kinetic art. The manufacturing process not only emphasizes beauty but also quality and durability as well. Products are made with 3mm steel, which is often thicker than similar products on the market. The thickness of the steel ensures its durability over time.
When it comes to forming the metal, most manufacturers use a stamping process or press forming to shape the steel bowl, and they are assembled with obvious welded seams. Focus uses metal spinning over a custom wood mold that ensures the 3-dimensional stability of the steel. The assembly is done with invisible, ground weld seams, which makes their products look cleaner with superior quality and workmanship.
Our products are made at FOCUS’ own factory in France, an industrial site that has been shaping steel since 1892. It allows us to enforce its high-quality standards and to retain its long-standing craftsmanship. You can be assured that our products are not only the most attractive but also the highest quality on the market.
