\"Oslo<\/div>\n

It’s rapidly cooling down across the northern hemisphere. To mark the seasonal shift, we’ve collected a lookbook<\/a> of eight fireplaces<\/a> installed in living spaces from Lithuania to Chile.<\/span><\/p>\n

Whether boxy or more conical, these fireplaces are united by their striking appearances and ability to anchor and warm living spaces as winter begins.<\/p>\n

This is the latest in our lookbooks series, which provides visual inspiration from Dezeen’s archive. For more inspiration, see previous lookbooks featuring double-height living rooms<\/a>, homes in former factories<\/a> and Halloweeny bedrooms<\/a>.<\/p>\n
