Aquafire — A Fire of Water and Light
The oldest illusion in the room, made newly convincing. Aquafire builds a fire out of the two things fire has never been — water and light. An ultrasonic plate turns ordinary tap water into a cool, fine mist; LEDs light it from within; and what rises off the bed reads, for all the world, like flame — flickering, curling, catching the eye across a room. Their own three words say it best: all flame, no fire.
Because nothing actually burns, there is nothing to tend and nothing to fear. It runs on tap water and a standard wall outlet — no gas, no fuel, no flue, no fumes. And the flame is cool to the touch. You can pass your hand straight through it.
That single fact — no combustion — changes where a fire is allowed to live. With no chimney to run and no clearances to keep, Aquafire goes where a real fire never could: directly beneath a television, in a high-rise condominium, along a hallway, in a bedroom, in a restaurant or a hotel lobby, in a bright warm room where you'd never actually want the heat.
And it gives off no heat at all — which sounds like a shortcoming right up until the first warm evening, when it turns out to be the whole point. A real flame you can enjoy in July, in a room that's already comfortable. For placement, it is the most liberating fireplace we've shown since the Holographik® — and finding a way to put fire where fire could never go is precisely our idea of a Creative FireSpace™.
It is also, quietly, the most adjustable fire we sell. From a remote or your phone, you set the flame's height, its speed, its density — a calm, low burn or a lively one — and its colour, from a natural amber that passes for real fire to, on the Pro, more than thirty colours for something frankly theatrical.
And it scales. Pro and Original units can be joined end to end into a single unbroken ribbon of flame — up to forty feet of it — so the same technology that warms a small den can run the length of a feature wall or a bar. As intimate or as architectural as the room asks for.
Aquafire comes as a small family, each with its own reason to exist. The Original gives the most natural flame; the Pro adds dual-flame depth and the full range of colour; the Lite is the pared-back way in, starting compact at sixteen inches; and the Gatsby is a freestanding, luxury piece that asks for no renovation at all — set it down, fill it, plug it in.
Every one is built around clean water. Onboard UV-C treatment and softening keep the mist pure and the unit healthy even where the tap runs hard — so the fire stays as effortless in year five as it was on the first night.
A note on what it is: Aquafire is an atmosphere piece, not a heat source — it makes the look, movement and glow of fire with none of the warmth. In a condo, a warm climate, or a room that's already cozy, that's exactly what you want. The parts that need doing well — a discreet water line, the power, and a clean built-in that hides everything but the flame — are the parts we handle from start to finish.
All the flame. None of the fire.
Questions people tend to ask
Is it a real fire?
No — and that is the whole design. An ultrasonic plate turns ordinary tap water into a cool, fine mist, LEDs light it from within, and what rises off the bed reads for all the world like flame: flickering, curling, catching the eye from across a room. Nothing burns. Aquafire’s own three words put it best — all flame, no fire.
Does it give off any heat?
None at all. That sounds like a shortcoming right up until the first warm evening, when it turns out to be the entire point: a flame you can enjoy in July, in a room that is already comfortable. It is an atmosphere piece rather than a heat source, so if warmth is what the room needs, this is the wrong fireplace and we will say so.
Is the flame hot? Is it safe around children?
The flame is cool to the touch — you can pass your hand straight through it. With no combustion there is no hot glass, no fumes and nothing to tend, which is a large part of why it suits rooms where a real fire would never be considered.
Can it go directly beneath a television, or in a condo?
Yes to both, and that single fact — no combustion — is why. With no chimney to run and no clearances to keep, it goes where a real fire never could: under a television, in a high-rise condominium, along a hallway, in a bedroom, in a restaurant or hotel lobby, in a bright warm room where you would never actually want the heat.
What does it need in order to run?
Tap water and a standard wall outlet. No gas, no fuel, no flue, no venting. For a built-in the parts worth doing well are a discreet water line and the power, detailed so that everything but the flame disappears into the wall — which is the part we handle from start to finish.
How much can the flame be adjusted?
More than any other fire we sell. From a remote or your phone you set the flame’s height, its speed and its density — a calm low burn or a lively one — and its colour, from a natural amber that passes for real fire to, on the Pro, more than thirty colours for something frankly theatrical.
What is the difference between the Original, the Pro, the Lite and the Gatsby?
The Original gives the most natural flame. The Pro adds dual-flame depth and the full range of colour. The Lite is the pared-back way in, starting compact at sixteen inches. The Gatsby is freestanding and asks for no renovation at all — set it down, fill it, plug it in. Pro and Original units can also be joined end to end into a single unbroken ribbon of up to forty feet, so the same technology suits a small den or the length of a bar.
Does the water need looking after?
Very little. Onboard UV-C treatment and softening keep the mist pure and the unit healthy even where the tap runs hard, so the fire stays as effortless in year five as it was on the first night.
