For 50 years, Focus has been forging a perfect balance between creativity and demanding technical standards.
Artist, designer, humanist and visionary
Tucked away in the foothills of the Cévennes, in a medieval village in the garrigue north of Montpellier, Dominique Imbert took up a new calling; forging, welding, sculpting, heating and shaping metal. It all began in 1967...
"Made in France"
Focus remains where it began life, in the village of Viols-le-Fort in the south of France, in the stone house renovated by Dominique Imbert.
This is where he created the very first Antéfocus, and today it is the company’s head office. It is also the workshop (L’Atelier Dominique Imbert) where Focus models are conceived and designed.
It is from this medieval hamlet in the midst of the Mediterranean garrigue that Focus exports its fireplaces all over the planet.

Hand-crafted quality
From the inception of the idea, through the administrative offices, to the production workshop, where savoir-faire comes into full play, Focus metalworkers custom-build the fittings for each stove and fireplace, making every model unique.
The work of their hands brings to life the work of design and research, transforming the intangible into the tangible.

Responsible innovation
Sustainability
Focus has always paid particular attention to the quality and longevity of their fireplaces using entirely recyclable materials.
Environment
Creating heat by burning wood is among the least polluting for the planet; it is an ecological, effective and economical heating choice.
Social
The choice to maintain its roots in the region where Focus began has retained heritage, paid homage to its founder and created local jobs.
