"Andirons may not top your design wishlist, but these modern iterations make a compelling case for why they should be."
"If you're the custodian of a fireplace, remember: it's off far more often than it's alight. A well-designed set can make the hearth worth admiring, even when the fire isn't burning."
"For me, the 1969 steel design by French architect Jacques Quinet is exemplary-spare, architectural, impeccably made. But there's no need to shop the past; today's designers are forging new forms, refined in equal measure. Here are the designs we admire."
Andirons combine practical support for a fire with an opportunity for aesthetic impact. Fireplaces spend far more time unlit than burning, so hardware appearance matters when the hearth is dormant. Thoughtful andiron design can make the hearth a focal point of a room even without flames. The 1969 steel andiron by French architect Jacques Quinet exemplifies spare, architectural craftsmanship and precise fabrication. Contemporary designers continue to refine andiron forms, producing modern iterations that balance restraint and refinement. Carefully chosen andirons can elevate fireplace presentation and contribute to overall interior composition.
