As winter is approaching in the northern hemisphere, for our latest lookbook we have rounded up ten unusual fireplaces that add both visual interest and warmth to their surroundings.
Included in the roundup is a fireplace that doubles as a staircase, a fireplace that took its design cues from a Venetian tomb and a campfire-inspired fireplace within a cave-like home.
This is the latest roundup in our Dezeen Lookbook series providing visual inspiration for the home. Previous articles in the series showcased domestic gyms, cross-laminated interiors, exposed brickwork and hotels with a bohemian feel.
