Designer Paper Clip Sculptural Centrepiece Gas Fireplace
By concealing the extraction route within the fireplace structure and beneath the floor, the design leaves the space above completely open and unobstructed. The result is a striking architectural fireplace with no visible overhead flue, preserving the clarity, scale and openness of the surrounding interior.
The fireplace base is finished in Carrara marble, introducing a refined natural material that complements the sculptural form of the canopy. The fireplace can be designed as either a gas fire or a bioethanol fire, allowing the fuel system to be selected according to the technical and architectural requirements of the project.
The design can be fully customised, with bespoke sizes, shapes, materials and finishes available to respond precisely to the proportions and character of the space. Particularly well suited to large open-plan interiors, this fireplace creates a defining focal point without compromising the architectural composition of the room.

FAQ’s
A double-sided fireplace is a single fire designed to be viewed from two spaces simultaneously, typically installed within a wall or architectural divide. At Modus, these fireplaces are designed as spatial elements, linking rooms while maintaining openness and flow, rather than simply acting as a heating appliance
When designed correctly, double-sided fireplaces are one of the most effective architectural features in open-plan spaces. They create a strong focal point, connect adjacent areas, and allow a single fire to serve two rooms, enhancing both visual continuity, spatial definition and dispersing light between spaces
Double-sided fireplaces can be more complex and typically involve a higher initial investment due to bespoke design and installation requirements. Heat is shared between two spaces rather than concentrated in one, so correct specification is essential to ensure performance.At Modus, each design is carefully engineered to balance visual impact with effective heat distribution and long-term performance





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.
Every element is open to specification, from stone, metal, and finish through to proportion and detailing.
Each fireplace is engineered in close partnership with Europe's leading manufacturers, with structural detailing and combustion performance resolved as part of the design.
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.
