The brief
The stove has been positioned as a clean freestanding feature, making the appliance and hearth shape the main design elements rather than relying on a heavy fireplace surround.
The Di Lusso R4 Euro is a contemporary wood burning stove with a refined, minimal appearance, making it well suited to modern new homes and open living spaces.
How the project came together
The Dekton hearth is the standout finishing detail. Its shaped teardrop profile softens the installation visually and gives the stove a more bespoke, premium feel than a standard rectangular hearth.
Using a luxury surface material for the hearth helps the project feel more considered, especially in a newer home where finishes and clean lines are important.
Details worth noticing
The finished result is modern, compact and polished — a real wood burning stove installation with a clear design-led edge.
