Varde Lincoln wood-burning stove

Varde Lincoln wood-burning stove

The Varde Lincoln wood-burning stove (also available as a multifuel stove) is a little similar in shape and size to the popular Hwam wood-burning stoves. The cylindrical shape, extended viewing area and the general look and feel of the stove bode well for traditional or contemporary style decor. While there is no doubt that traditional wood-burning stoves, with their solid square shape, continue to sell extremely well, there is also no doubt demand for more contemporary and more adventurous stove designs is growing. So, the Varde Lincoln wood-burning stove is placed right in the middle of this particular range and we are sure it will do very well.

Technical aspects

As we touched on above, while the Varde Lincoln wood-burning stove version is more popular, there is also a multifuel option. Classed as contemporary in style it has dimensions of height 1000 mm, width 510 mm and a depth of 450 mm.

Hwam woodburning stoves

 

 

For those with an interest in woodburning stoves it is not very difficult to spot the distinctive style of a Hwam woodburning stove. Interestingly, the company is one of Denmark’s larger bespoke stoves manufacturers but unlike many competitors it only has a history which goes back 40 years as opposed to well over 100 years in some cases. What the company lacks in history it certainly makes up in terms of enthusiasm and innovation – it is amazing how quickly the company has become a recognised figure and a very popular brand.

Like so many of the Scandinavian stove companies Hwam has remained true to its roots working from the original factory and employing the same personnel. There have obviously been expansions in the workforce as sales across Europe continue to grow but the methods used and the location remain unchanged.
