It was in 1967 that sculptor Dominique Imbert created his first fireplace for his own personal use in his studio at the foothills of the Cévennes, Southern France. He then reproduced it for several enthusiastic viewers, and so began the history of Focus. Fifty years later, with nearly 100 people working for Focus, and a range of more than 50 models available around the world, sales exceed 2 000 units each year.
