The Hartwynd
Hearth
A fireplace for the desk — flameless, warm, and scented. The flame is light and mist; the comfort is real.
A small fire, kept where no fire could go.
The Hearth keeps the oldest comfort — a lit fire at the edge of the room — in a form a desk can hold. A flame-shaped column of lit mist rises above the glowing log window while your chosen oil drifts through the room. No heat, no ash, no glare. Set it going in the evening and let it close the day for you.
The Flame That Isn't
An amber flame of light and mist above a glowing log window. All of the mood of a fire, none of the fire.
Scent On A Timer
Three timer settings and a remote that works from the reading chair. It ends the evening on its own.
Quiet Enough To Forget
The mist is whisper-quiet and shuts itself off when the water runs dry.
Three unhurried steps
Fill the tray
Water into the top tray, to the line.
A few drops of oil
Cedarwood was made for this object.
Press, or point
One press on the unit — or the remote from the chair. The fire takes it from there.
To be plain about it: the flame is an effect of light and illuminated mist — it warms the mood of the room, not its temperature. That is the point. It can burn all evening beside your papers and never mind them.

“It does the thing a candle does to a room, without me worrying about the candle.”
“The remote is the sleeper feature. I light it from the sofa like some kind of Victorian ghost.”
“Genuinely convincing flame at night. Guests keep checking whether it's warm.”
“The timer means I fall asleep to it and never think about it again. Exactly what I wanted.”
“Parchment finish is lovely in a bright room. Photographs do not do the glow justice.”
“My office has no fireplace and strictly speaking it still doesn't. Feels like it does.”

Before you order
Is it hot to the touch?+
No. The flame is light and cool mist — the Hearth adds no heat and is safe beside books and papers.
How long does a fill run?+
An evening, comfortably, on gentle mist — and it shuts itself off the moment the tray runs dry, timer or not.
Does it work without oil?+
Yes. Run it dry-scented as a pure fireplace lamp, or with plain water for the flame and a touch of humidity.
Which finish should I choose?+
Charcoal disappears into a dark desk and makes the fire the show. Parchment suits brighter shelves and reads softer in daylight.
What does the warranty cover?+
One full year against any fault in the shell, flame LED, mist unit, or remote.
Give the fire something to burn
The Hearth is at its best with No. I Cedarwood — dry, smoky, and made for the fireside. The full Scent Library is three notes for three times of day.
