Designey Cast Iron Wood Stoves

By Francisco Providência

Alba is a Portugese manufacturer of cast iron wood stoves. Although they offer traditional models, like this Metafire Stove…

They also have two rather radical departures from the form, by designer Francisco Providência:

Sadly, Alba is one of those old-school European companies with a Spartan website; details about either stove are scarce, save for the name of the designer. It's too bad, as I'd be really curious to learn how well those radiator fins disperse the heat.

Lastly, I think the R2D2 stove actually looks much more like a Minion.

Perplexed by the hinge orientation on the Remade... does the door open upwards at an angle?

There are so many beloved pill-shaped characters to chose from.
