1970
When the designer Bent Falk created the first RAIS on the sketchpad in 1970, he probably did not know how sustainable his design would turn out to be and how much it would appeal to the spirit of the times for more than a generation. When the original RAIS design was introduced, the basis was a strong ambition to create a new type of wood-burning stove, which was carefully planned in form, function and design. And they succeeded. The shape effectively broke with previous heat sources, which were often decorated or created to look like furniture. The original RAIS design made way for a more stringent style without superfluous details.

The functionality determined the tripartition with the heat chamber at the top with built-in circular draught for better emission of heat. In the chamber, you could also bake or fry, or even heat the teapot. Later, when barbecuing became popular, the design was altered to accommodate this function. In the middle, the fireplace itself with the door was placed and the combustion chamber underneath. The functional and pure design for both the square and round initial models would turn out to be the role model for most other stoves manufactured since. Since RAIS designed the first stoves, the development has based on functional and pure design. 29
