When approaching clients, Robert Kolenik makes a list of their wishes and develops a number of design ideas in regards to fireplaces. A piece of advice he often gives to many customers is for them to opt for Boley fireplaces. According to him: ‘Boley is the Mercedes of design fireplaces. A Boley offers you the feel of a real wood fireplace, but with the ease of use of a gas fireplace. This gives you the best of both worlds.’

In regards to his fireplace designs, Robert Kolenik has a habit of looking for distinctive shapes and materials. If the client picks a gas fireplace, it’s the best option in regards to material options to create the mantle, among them beautiful dark cork or leather, wood, marble or unusual plasterwork. Not to mention the fact that the fireplaces by Kolenik are usually installed in a mechanically ventilated environment.
One of the main topics regarding the philosophy of the designer in regards to these decorative and warming elements is that each fireplace has a different function and finish in every distinct space type. In the words of Robert Kolenik himself: “A fireplace adds a sense of luxury. Not only to a sitting room but also to a bedroom, bathroom or kitchen.”
