The Fireplace
Francis Kéré x next125
An experimental pavilion in sustainable timber construction combines the archaic and organic design language of the globally active architectural pioneer Francis Kéré from Burkina Faso with the perfection and purist aesthetics of the next125 premium kitchen. Experience the story of an inspiring, creative collaboration.

„The Fireplace“ – a wooden pavilion with a kitchen by next125 at its centre. A temporary structure that celebrates the kitchen and cooking in equal measure.

„Working with next125 on "The Fireplace" immediately took me back to my childhood. With this project, I want to touch people emotionally and bring together archaism and perfection of form."
