Bespoke Marble Mantel Gas Fireplace with Fluted Steel Interior

This bespoke open-fronted wall fireplace offers a modern interpretation of a traditional open hearth. Its arched form and stone mantel draw on classic fireplace design, while the restrained detailing and dark metalwork give it a distinctly contemporary character.

The interior of the fireplace is lined in black ribbed steel, creating texture and depth behind the flames. This ribbed finish continues around the arched steel fascia at the front, clearly defining the opening and giving the fireplace a strong architectural presence. A substantial stone mantel surrounds the fire, with chamfered edges that soften its profile and add a refined level of detail.

The burner is recessed into the floor of the fireplace, allowing the flames to appear directly from the base of the opening. This keeps the fire bed simple and uncluttered while retaining the atmosphere and proportions associated with a traditional fireplace.

Shown here as an open-fronted gas fire, the design can also be adapted for wood burning or bioethanol, subject to the technical requirements of the property and installation. Each version can be tailored in size, materials and finish to suit the surrounding interior.

Designed in collaboration with Helena Bell Lowry Interiors.

BESPOKE DESIGN

Architectural fireplaces, designed without precedent

If you can conceive it, we can deliver it. That is what Modus does best. Working closely with our in-house design team, and in collaboration with Europe's leading manufacturers, we develop fireplaces that respond precisely to the architecture, materiality, and intent of each project. The result is a fireplace tailor-made for its setting, and for no other.

01
Material Choices

Every element is open to specification, from stone, metal, and finish through to proportion and detailing.

02
Precision Engineering

Each fireplace is engineered in close partnership with Europe's leading manufacturers, with structural detailing and combustion performance resolved as part of the design.

03
Seamless Integration

We work as an extension of the project team, from concept through to commissioning, so the fireplace sits within the architecture rather than against it.
