Living Flame is a New Zealand, family owned business that’s been passionate about creating luxury, custom-made gas fireplaces for over 35 years. Living Flame products are crafted in New Zealand by our highly skilled artisans, either by hand, or with the use of specialised, modern machinery. Every product is manufactured in the Living Flame factory in Auckland, using only the best quality materials that will stand the test of time. As a family business, we have a unique focus on the customer, where our knowledge, experience and cutting-edge equipment enable us to bring your ideas and designs to fruition.
With a solid background in the heating industry, Stan Jones established Living Flame in 1982. His son Paul joined the business in 1997, and during the school holidays you’re likely to find Paul’s son Kingston there too.
In the company’s fledgling years, Stan installed baking kilns at The Ford Motor Co. factory in Wiri, boilers at Kraft Foods factories, and played an integral part in designing and installing the heating systems for the first Hot Houses in New Zealand. With industrial expertise, Living Flame’s innovation and cutting-edge designs meant that more and more residential heating applications were sought after; so much so that in 1983 the company became the first gas fireplace manufacturer in New Zealand.
