Discover Cheminees Philippe
A global brand with a long and proud French history in the art of fireplace design and the original visionary behind the ‘dual opening’ slow combustion wood fire heater.
Cheminees Philippe is a family-owned company with over 60 years expertise in the design and manufacturing of world-class cast iron fireplaces.
OUR STORY
Cheminees Philippe’s global reputation has been built on a commitment to creating exceptional fireplaces. The brand is synonymous with exquisite French craftsmanship, timeless design and superior heating performance and efficiency.
Cheminees Philippe is based in France, where each cast iron wood heating firebox is meticulously designed and handcrafted in their own foundry in Pas-de-Calais.
From concept to completion, every fireplace is created with precision by a team of skilled artisans. Having their own foundry gives Cheminees Philippe unparalleled design flexibility and full control over quality, ensuring that each wood fire heater meets the highest standards of craftsmanship and performance.
With a rich and proud history in the art of fireplace design, Cheminees Philippe was the first company to design and create the ‘dual opening’ slow combustion wood fire heater – this innovative dual opening door functionality means the door can swing or lift to open, providing customers with the flexibility to enjoy both the warmth of an efficient, slow combustion heater and the timeless ambiance and sensory experience of an open wood burning fire. This breakthrough design set a new standard in the industry, providing versatility, warmth, and efficiency.
Today, the brand is available in over 30 countries worldwide. In Australia, it’s exclusively distributed by Cheminees Philippe Australia, owned by Wignells—a trusted, multigenerational family business with 70+ years of expertise in heating and cooking solutions.
