Fireplace Industry Exhibtion, 2011

Hestia took Bodart and Gonay to the fireplace industry exhibition 'Hearth and Home', held at Harrogate in June 2011.
The exhibition is a showcase for the fireplace industry, and features the very latest in appliances, accessories and surrounds from the countries leading Manufacturers and Distributors.

Working with Bodart and Gonay, we had designed a 27m2 stand that would allow us to feature the very latest woodburners and gas fires on live display in a stylish and contemporary setting.

The build up went something like this....

The finished result








The stand took a small team of 4 men 3 full days to complete, and about 5 hours to completely dismantle and load up for removal!

The exhibition lasted for 3 days and was a great success for Hestia-Bodart and Gonay.

The incredible performance and looks from the worlds finest fireplaces went down a storm with some of the newest, most advanced woodburning inset stoves in the world on live working display.

There were a significant number of new leads from prospective retail partners, some great revitalised commitment from existing dealers and a tremendous interest from Architects and Interior Designers alike for future project specifications.

Watch the following video to see the show fires in action and begin to appreciate just how good these woodburners and gas fires are.
