B & D Design

Fireplaces are no longer just about winter warmth. Now they are year-round focal points in our living spaces. Sculptor Cathy Azria takes the concept still further - creating completely one-off installations in which fire animates a structural composition. Lit or unlit, they are significant pieces of art. Born in Tunisia, Cathy came to London in 1980 to study sculpture. Living in London ever since, working for private customers, architects and decorators, her sculptural installations draw their inspiration from natural materials and organic forms.
