ARDĒO founder reviewing fireplace sketches with a friend

/01 - ARDĒO STORY

ARDĒO began

with one London flat

My best friend wanted a fireplace to feel home. But she couldn't touch a single wall in her rental flat. 

Because i'm an architect, she asked me. And everything here started as the answer to her question.

No fire in a rented flat

A fireplace traditionally means a flue, a permit, a builder and a budget of thousands.

In a rented flat, it means a flat no. I believe a flame belongs in a home, not in a construction project, and that long grey evenings deserve one.

And here we are!


We sell one thing: a bioethanol fires in steel that don't need a chimney, selected with an architect's eye for design and stability. 


Each arrives by next weekend, assembles in minutes, and burns with no smoke, no ash and no chimney. Every model had to pass one test: would it work in my best friend's flat?

From people who care how their home looks and feels and who want a real fire tonight, not after six months of works.
