Stove Spotlights

Functional Art for Contemporary Homes

Few woodburners manage to balance sculpture and performance quite like the Wanders Black Diamond. Designed in the Netherlands, this striking stove is more than just a source of heat — it’s a centrepiece that redefines how a modern fire can look. With bold geometric lines, dark glass accents, and a commanding presence on the wall or pedestal, the Black Diamond is as much a design statement as it is a practical heating solution.

Evolution of a Classic

The Black Diamond is the successor to Wanders’ original Diamond stove, a model that earned a reputation for its angular styling and modern feel. This second-generation design builds on that success with refined details: sleek matte black steel, a polished glass top plate, and black-edged viewing glass that enhances the stove’s visual symmetry. The result is a sharper, more cohesive finish that feels timeless yet contemporary.

Performance Behind the Glass

Beneath its sculptural exterior, the Black Diamond is built to perform. With an 8kW nominal output, it is ideal for medium to large living spaces, while its 78% efficiency rating demonstrates a balance between design-led glazing and serious heat delivery. It comfortably accepts logs up to 50cm in length, making loading simpler and extending burn times. As an Ecodesign-compliant stove with external air options, it also meets today’s efficiency and emissions standards, blending style with responsible heating.

Flexible Installation Options

By default, the Black Diamond is a wall-mounted stove, appearing to float above the floor with clean, architectural lines. For homes where a supporting wall isn’t suitable, Wanders offers an optional pedestal base, echoing the stove’s angular geometry while allowing it to stand freely. To complete the effect, an optional flue casing extends the stove’s diamond-shaped silhouette upward, concealing the round flue pipe and delivering a seamless, sculptural finish from floor to ceiling.

Clever Dutch Engineering

Wanders’ attention to engineering detail sets the Wanders Black Diamond apart. Unlike many wall-mounted stoves, it features twin side-loading doors, a smart solution that reduces the chance of smoke escaping when reloading. This dual-access design also makes it easier to place longer logs inside, while offering flexibility depending on your room layout. The Black Diamond isn’t just about looks — it’s about practicality in everyday use.

A Fire with Atmosphere

Of course, performance is only part of the story. The Black Diamond truly comes alive when lit: flames framed within its angular glass create a living artwork on your wall. The radiant warmth fills the room with a cosy, enveloping heat, while the flickering firelight transforms the atmosphere into something both relaxing and dramatic. It’s this harmony of function and feeling that makes the Black Diamond so compelling.
