apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Designed by Fredrik Hylten-Cavallius, the Piet stove, named after Danish architect and mathematician Piet Hein, is shaped like an ellipse to better reflect the heat it produces. The stove is comprised of a ceramic outer shell, behind which a layer of rockwool fire insulation keeps the shell from getting too hot, and a heat reflector to radiant heat out of the egg like stove. Since the fuel source is ethanol, there's no installation or connection needed. Simply fill the fuel reservoir, and light.
