Reimagining the Hearth for Contemporary Living

ELORA™ originates from a fundamental question: How can hearth design be redefined to balance comfort, efficiency, and emotional experience? Traditionally, stoves have functioned as static systems reliant on a single energy source for heating and limited beyond the colder months. ELORA™ responds by introducing a hybrid technology that integrates gas and electric systems into an adaptive platform.

This duality allows users to shape the fire experience—from a subtle ambient presence to a powerful heat source—optimizing energy use and reducing reliance on gas in milder climates. In doing so, ELORA™ reframes fire not only as a fixed output, but as a responsive system that adapts to behaviour, environmental conditions, and evolving expectations of sustainable living.

At the core of the design, Luminous Logs technology by NAPOLEON® enables flames to emerge directly from the logs, enhancing realism while reducing fuel consumption. This approach intensifies the perception of flame volume and depth without increasing energy demand, creating a more immersive, efficient visual experience. The system offers two ultra-realistic log options—Oak and Birch—allowing users to personalize the visual identity of fire.

ELORA™ introduces a layered lighting system that extends its function beyond heating. A modulating LED ember bed and customizable perimeter lighting in seven colours create dynamic atmospheres even without flame, transforming fire into a continuous presence. This allows the product to remain relevant year-round, shifting from a heating appliance to an atmospheric element.

Seamless transitions between Ember Bed, Low, and High Flame modes provide intuitive control over visual intensity and energy use. With up to 30,000 BTUs of output—25,000 gas and 5,000 electric—ELORA™ balances performance and efficiency across conditions, while a built-in backup system ensures operation during power outages and an advanced remote enhances interaction.

Its three-sided glass architecture elevates the fire into a sculptural presence, dissolving the traditional frontal constraint of stoves and inviting immersive, multi-perspective engagement. Subtly curved front panels soften its geometry, reinforcing a contemporary, approachable design language. It captures the intimacy of a forest campfire, reinterpreted within the domestic environment.

The versatile venting configuration—allowing both top and rear venting—enhances adaptability to diverse architectural conditions and installation preferences. Optional decorative panels support seamless integration across interior styles and architectural contexts.
