FIREBYDESIGN

Updated: Feb 14

A stove makes quite the difference. A cup of tea, family time or a good book - made all the more pleasurable by a glowing fire. A stove from Contura provides tranquillity, inspiration and peace of mind. It brings people together. It fills you with a special feeling. It’s that feeling of cosiness that people love to embrace. Contura have been adding warmth to people’s lives for more than 50 years, believing that building more relaxation into our daily lives is beneficial to everyone’s health and general well-being.

The design and product development of Contura stoves occurs in Sweden, as does the assembly of all stove parts. Their stoves meet strict quality requirements before leaving the factory in Markaryd, giving full control over the build in all stages of production. Contura are proud to mark their stoves “Made in Sweden”.

Log burners from Contura are appreciated because they show so much of the fire. This makes the stoves easy to position, even in small spaces. Thanks to the large glass areas, in most models the flames can be seen from at least three sides. Their modern wood stoves are available in most shapes, round, angular, oval, tall, low, narrow or wide. Have a good look! We are sure that you will find the perfect log burner or wood burning stove for you.

With cleaner lines and a large glass door giving a light and modern impression, the Contura 556 can be varied almost infinitely. Choose a soapstone, glass or painted aluminium top. Choose a turntable or a hotplate and a fan for an extra boost to the heat flow.

The Connect 556 is as groundbreakingly innovative as it is simple to use. The stove automatically regulates the supply of air to ensure optimisation, giving a cleaner and more efficient combustion with minimal emissions. It works with an app that lets you control and monitor the fire from your mobile device.
