Herman Miller Nelson Fireplace Caddy
Possessing one of the most inventive minds of the 20th century, George Nelson described his creative abilities as a series of "zaps" – quick flashes of inspiration he turned into innovative design ideas. In 1945, Nelson became director of design at Herman Miller, a position he held until 1972. While there, he recruited other seminal modern designers, including Charles Eames and Isamu Noguchi. Nelson also developed his own works, like this Fireplace Caddy (1950s), which consists of a removable canvas sling with carrying handles resting on a steel base fashioned to endure years of use.

Malm Fireplace
Located in Sonoma County, California, Malm started as a sheet metal manufacturer in the 1950s.

Malm was one of the original manufacturers of freestanding fireplaces and is the only one still in existence today. The Malm Fireplace comes with a three-piece flue for ceilings up to eight feet. (Additional flue pieces are available for taller ceilings.) Made in U.S.A. Photo Courtesy of DWR
Glaze Wooden Matchbox
Strike while it’s hot. Matches are an indispensable household tool: for lighting the stove, the hearth, holiday candles, or in the bathroom for… well, the things we keep matches in the bathroom for. Whatever you’re using matches for, it’s better to do it in style. And whatever your style—from stripey zebrawood to rippled maple—these large and small handmade wooden matchboxes are just the thing. Each matchbox is made from American-sourced wood that’s been handpicked for its distinct and beautiful grain, and each has a strike strip on the back for perfect ignition with every match—whatever you’re using it for.

Frederik Roijé Smoke Stack Fireplace and Grill
The opposite of bland, the Smokestack Fireplace and Grill is made with design lovers in mind. Bold and eye-catching, it draws attention with its factory chimney silhouette and rusty brown color. It’s the perfect choice for those who love creative designs and the industrial-style aesthetic. Designed by the Frederik Roijé studio, the fireplace references classic smokestacks. The corten steel material will corrode to develop a natural protective surface, enhancing the character of the fireplace at the same time. Compact and convenient, the stainless steel Smokestack Grill fits inside the opening perfectly, transforming the wood-burning stove into the coolest barbecue money can buy. Photo Courtesy of Gessato
The Companion Group Fire Up! Charcoal Starter Wand
We didn’t start the fire…but you can. You know the grill routine: Dump in charcoal. Pour in your lighter fluid. Toss in a match and shield your eyes. Okay, now scratch steps 2 and 3, because lighter fluid is pretty dangerous and super toxic. Opt instead for the Fire Up! Charcoal Lighter, a plug-in fire-lighting wand that uses two simple switches to take your charcoal from cold to smoldering in minutes. The heat setting ignites, while the blow setting distributes the flames. And don’t be shy: The stainless steel end of the lighter is high heat resistant, so you can bury it into the coals.

Wood
Wood is a fresh, insightful and surprising look at the world's best timber architecture. With 170 structures from the last 1,000 years, Wood features projects from some of the world's most celebrated architects. Renzo Piano's otherworldly New Caledonian Cultural Centre is found alongside projects from Tadao Ando and Peter Zumthor. Even the work of Le Corbusier, an architect best known for his work in concrete, is shown - his humble Mediterranean log cabin, Le Cabanon, was his last home. Arranged to promote comparison and discussion, the selected projects take the reader on a global tour of inspiring and intriguing structures: a Vietnamese village hall sits beside a state-of-the-art Belgian laboratory, an Italian anatomical theatre alongside a luxurious Canadian sauna and an onion-domed Russian church next to a fortified Japanese castle. Illustrated with extraordinary photographs, each project includes an extended caption providing an insightful commentary on the building. An essay by the bestselling author and naturalist Richard Mabey explores the close relationship between trees and architecture. Following the popularity of Concrete and Brick, Wood is a beautiful and informative visual exploration of a natural material that harbours an extraordinary range of expression and potential and has inspired architects for generations.

Maison Margiela Replica By the Fireplace Fragrance
The sweetness of a winter evening by the fireplace. Brightness, freshness and the purity of newly fallen snow through the frozen window. Day breaks. Outside it's snowing on a frosty, cold landscape. Inside the flames of a comforting fire crackle in the fireplace. By the Fireplace is the Replica collection's first feminine and masculine fragrance, evoking a morning by the fireplace in Chamonix in the 1970s. The silhouette of each Replica bottle is inspired by classic apothecary jars, allowing the collection to be instantly identifiable. Each bottle features a 100% cotton label, which is printed using black ink text and resembles the tags used on clothes and accessories found in the Replica couture collection, in addition to a unique pump wrapped with rope to symbolize the authentic reproduction of the original couture line. The same label concept is carried onto the packaging of each fragrance. Each carton label is associated with a Polaroid photograph—a fleeting moment captured in muted colors and soft light that is a poetic allusion to the story behind each fragrance.

Primus Kamoto Folding Fire Pit & Open Fire Pan
All fired up. There’s something so primitively satisfying about an open fire—the crackle, the woodsmoke, staring into the flames and feeling all nostalgic. Since on-the-ground campfires aren’t allowed everywhere (and for good reason, no one likes a forest fire!), a safer work-around is this folding, portable fire pit made from stainless and powder-coated steel. It works with firewood or charcoal and comes with an ashtray to collect the cinders (your park ranger will appreciate that it leaves no trace). Plus, the quick set up, wind protection and air inlet underneath make it a snap to use, no Scout badges required. The pan completes the look: With its lightweight aluminum core and durable stainless steel exterior, the combo is easy to carry, and lets you do dinner cracklin’ hot. Kebabs on the beach, anyone?
