A Central Fireplace for a Sculptural Flame and a Designer Interior

Elegant, bold, and resolutely contemporary, the central fireplace embodies the very essence of design and sophistication. Whether it adopts a minimalist, modern, or cozy style, it asserts itself as a true centerpiece, drawing every gaze.

Looking to bring style and character to your interior? Have you considered a central fireplace? When unlit, it structures the space and enhances the room. When lit, it magnifies the flame and creates an enchanting atmosphere. Here’s how to make this signature piece your own.

THE CENTRAL FIREPLACE: A CENTERPIECE OF INTERIOR DESIGN

From the moment you enter, it catches the eye. A true focal point, the central fireplace structures the space and gives it a unique signature. It brings a strong identity, a distinct personality, and redefines the ambiance—whether in a sleek living room, an industrial loft, or the lobby of a prestigious hotel. On its own, it transforms the perception of the room, striking a balance between volume and height, between minimalism and impact, between delicacy and strength.

Its central position blurs boundaries and naturally reshapes the flow of movement within the interior. Life begins to revolve around the fire, here elevated by the grandeur of a central fireplace. It becomes a true link between spaces an invitation to slow down and savor the moment.

More than a heating element, it becomes a sculptural piece where the flame comes alive with elegance and poetry. Its airy volume, graphic lines, and choice of noble materials make it a timeless design icon that captivates the eye and awakens the senses. Take, for example, the EVA 992 central fireplace by JC Bordelet an object that exists and fascinates within any interior.

A THEATRICAL SETTING FOR THE FLAME

The central fireplace creates a true scenography of fire, elevating the flame and reinventing the mood. Much more than a heat source, it becomes the vibrant heart of the room—a hypnotic show around which eyes and conversations gravitate. Like a theatrical set, it comes in a range of silhouettes, each offering a unique experience and a powerful presence.

Perched on a base, it evokes a sculptural pedestal, asserting its presence with grace and poise. Just like the LEA 998 central fireplace by JC Bordelet—a true domestic sculpture—it commands attention even when unlit. With its wide ledge, it invites you to sit close to the fire, creating a cozy and intimate moment. When suspended, it becomes an architectural feat, defying gravity and captivating the eye with its boldness.

Whether crackling or still, the central fireplace is always a natural gathering point. Around it, people come together, share, and surrender to the softness of a suspended moment, where the fire gently warms the atmosphere.

 

MATERIALS, DETAILS, AND FINISHES… EVERYTHING FOR AN EXCEPTIONAL CENTRAL FIREPLACE

The choice of materials, colors, and finishes defines the identity of a central fireplace and how well it integrates into the space. You may opt for natural harmony or, on the contrary, a more daring contrast. In all cases, every detail matters to make your fireplace a true centerpiece of your décor.

When it comes to materials, black steel stands out as a must-have. It’s particularly showcased in the stylish MARINA 993 model by JC Bordelet. Its graphic lines sculpt the space and open up new perspectives. Metallic fireplaces, with silver or patinated tones, bring a subtle yet modern industrial flair. They catch the light and create a unique atmosphere. More mineral in essence, stone lends the fireplace a timeless presence both warm and authentic.

Colors, too, adapt to trends and personal preferences. Deep blacks and elegant ochres cross generations with grace. White finishes offer a clearly contemporary look. Bolder, patterned or colored models stand out as design elements in their own right. A matte effect emphasizes a raw and sophisticated character, while a lacquered finish plays with the light for a more radiant appearance.

Lastly, every finish must be flawless: the height of the base, the tint of the glass, the handle design, the choice between open or closed hearth… These are the details that elevate the central fireplace into an exceptional object designed to combine aesthetics with everyday pleasure.

THE PERFECT BLEND OF DESIGN AND PERFORMANCE

Sculptural and beautiful, but also functional and efficient—the central fireplace merges aesthetics with ingenuity. A true interior centerpiece, it doesn’t just draw attention: it delivers unparalleled comfort. Installed in the heart of the room, it instantly creates a cozy atmosphere, diffusing gentle, even, and subtle warmth.

Some models take innovation and sensory experience even further. Just look at 360° rotating fireplaces their technical brilliance is striking. With a simple gesture, you can direct the flame to suit your mood and needs, offering absolute comfort and unique flexibility. A technical feat in the service of beauty and design, where the flame becomes a living spectacle to admire at every moment.
