Product Feature: Axis I1000 Series

Posted on January 1st, 2026 by marketing@sculptfireplaces.com.au

The Axis I1000 Series combines bold design with exceptional heating performance. Handcrafted in France, these fireplaces don’t just warm a room, they shape it. Whether freestanding or inbuilt, single-sided or double-sided, the Axis I1000 range delivers clean lines, strong presence, and enduring performance.

Fire That Commands Attention

The Axis I1000 Freestanding DS is built to stand out. Its double-sided design creates a dramatic focal point, allowing flames to be viewed from both sides. Ideal for open-plan layouts, it helps define spaces while keeping them visually and emotionally connected.

Prefer a more understated approach? The Freestanding SS (single-sided) offers a powerful flame view from the front, anchoring the room with refined symmetry.

 

Options to Suit Every Layout

The I1000 Series includes a range of configurations to suit different architectural needs:

Axis I1000 Freestanding SS – A single-sided freestanding unit that delivers bold styling and radiant warmth

The Axis I1000 Freestanding DS – The double-sided freestanding model for open rooms and shared spaces

Axis I1000 Inbuilt SS & DS – Inbuilt options for a flush, streamlined look within custom joinery or feature walls

Additionally, each fireplace is constructed with a durable steel firebox and frameless glass design, maintaining a refined, minimalist aesthetic across all models.

 

Efficient Heating Meets Elegant Design

Furthermore, the I1000 range performs as beautifully as it looks. Its advanced firebox design delivers strong radiant heat and clean, efficient combustion. Moreover, homes with high energy ratings can benefit even further — pair the I1000 DS with an optional outdoor air kit to introduce fresh air directly into the firebox. Additionally, this boosts efficiency and supports cleaner burning, especially in tightly sealed homes.

Form, Function, and French Innovation

Moreover, each Axis I1000 fireplace is assembled by skilled artisans in France. The result? A product that combines reliability, precision, and modern design values. Moreover, from build quality to fire performance, every detail reflects decades of fireplace engineering.

Project Feature: The Silo House, Inverloch VIC

Posted on December 25th, 2025 by marketing@sculptfireplaces.com.au

Perched on a rural block in Inverloch, Victoria, The Silo House merges rustic history with architectural ambition. Originally the site of a modest cedar farmhouse, the property has been reimagined into one of Australia’s most talked-about design stays, featured on Grand Designs Australia (Season 10, Episode 2) and listed among the country’s top 100 unique getaways.

At the heart of this distinctive cabin-style retreat stands the Seguin Super 9 freestanding wood fireplace, supplied by Sculpt Fireplace Collection. It not only heats the home but defines its soul.

Where Rural Charm Meets Modern Craft

The design honours the site’s origins while embracing reinvention. Materials from the original build — timber, steel, concrete — are repurposed to form a backdrop for bold architectural moves. Exposed concrete walls, raw finishes, and vintage textures meet contemporary detailing throughout the home’s three-storey layout.

The two original silos now serve as self-contained bedroom towers, each with an ensuite and dramatic vertical volume. High ceilings in the main pod accommodate mezzanine sleeping quarters, creating a warm, loft-style energy.

 

Fireplace as Design Anchor

In the centre of the home, the Seguin Super 9 becomes the visual and emotional anchor. Mounted on a black steel bench, it delivers both architectural weight and functional warmth. The strong lines and robust cast iron finish mirror the project’s industrial edge, while the rich flame softens the concrete palette and invites guests to gather.

Surrounded by salvaged leather sofas, vintage rugs, and panoramic countryside views, the fireplace transforms the living room into a space of connection and comfort.

 

A Layout Built for Lifestyle

The Silo House was made to be shared. The large industrial-style kitchen flows into an open dining area, which spills out to a deck and outdoor firepit. Downstairs, a hidden speakeasy lounge brings a sense of surprise and retreat. It’s a moody, low-lit space designed for slow drinks, late conversations, or quiet reflection.

Across four bedrooms, the home sleeps up to 12 guests. Every detail, from raw beams to custom joinery, plays a role in the storytelling. Yet it’s the fireplace that ties everything together, offering warmth, grounding, and timeless character.

The Art of the Central Fireplace

Posted on December 18th, 2025 by marketing@sculptfireplaces.com.au

The Art of the Central Fireplace: Why Suspended Fireplaces Make a Statement

Suspended fireplaces don’t just warm a room, they shape it. With their sculptural form and 360-degree presence, these fireplaces do more than serve a function. They become the centrepiece of the home, capturing attention and anchoring the space with elegance and intent.

Whether you’re working with an open-plan layout, a double-height void, or a contemporary renovation, a central suspended fireplace introduces drama, movement, and architectural clarity like no other design element.

Why Go Central?

In traditional homes, fireplaces often sit flush against a wall. A suspended fireplace reimagines that placement entirely. By hanging from the ceiling, it occupies the centre of the room — offering warmth, light, and connection from all angles. This positioning allows for seamless flow around the fire while maintaining a strong visual anchor.

A centrally placed fireplace defines zones without using walls. It creates intimacy in large rooms and balances vertical volumes, especially in homes with tall ceilings or open voids.

 

Design Impact from Every Angle

Unlike standard models, suspended fireplaces provide a 360-degree flame view. This not only maximises visual impact but also encourages interaction and movement. Whether viewed from the kitchen, lounge, or hallway, the fire becomes a constant presence, dynamic, calming, and sculptural.

The suspended form offers a sense of lightness. It lifts the fire off the ground and makes it appear to float within the space. This effect works beautifully in interiors that emphasise space, flow, and material contrast.

 

A Statement in Craftsmanship

Suspended fireplaces require more than clever placement, they demand exceptional craftsmanship. At Sculpt Fireplace Collection, we supply JC Bordelet suspended fireplaces, each handmade in the South of France using high-grade steel and traditional spinning techniques.

These fireplaces are not mass-produced. Each one is crafted in small numbers and finished by hand, offering a level of precision and artistry that sets them apart from standard options.

 

Design Versatility

Despite their bold form, suspended fireplaces suit a wide range of styles — from ultra-modern homes to earthy, textural spaces. With options for colour finishes, fixed or rotating models, and a variety of silhouettes, you can tailor the fireplace to suit the architectural intent.

When installed with purpose, a central fireplace can do more than heat a space. It creates atmosphere, encourages connection, and invites people to gather.

Project Feature: Libby’s Retreat, Peel WA

Posted on December 11th, 2025 by marketing@sculptfireplaces.com.au

Tucked into the Peel region of Western Australia, just south of Perth, Libby’s Retreat offers a calm, grounded escape for three generations of family. Positioned on the edge of the Darling Ranges, this single-level farmhouse looks out over sweeping views of the Peel Estuary, bringing together landscape, lifestyle, and legacy.

Designed by Suzanne Hunt Architect (SHA), the home reflects Libby’s vision for connection, comfort, and long-term living, with the Axis H1600XXL wood fireplace from Sculpt Fireplace Collection anchoring its heart.

Architecture Shaped by Light, Land, and Family

Rather than building one large structure, the architect designed three distinct pods that form a cohesive whole. Each pod captures northern light, preserves view corridors, and serves a specific purpose, from shared family living to private spaces for children and grandchildren.

The design allows multigenerational living to unfold naturally. Central gathering zones bring everyone together, while smaller, quieter areas provide privacy when needed.

 

Fireplace as a Gathering Point

At the core of the main pod, the Axis H1600XXL stands tall. This wood-burning fireplace doesn’t just heat the home, it creates a natural gathering point. With its strong form and expansive glass, it frames the flame while reinforcing the home’s material palette and architectural rhythm.

The fireplace defines the living area without dominating it. It draws family members together and invites conversation, calm, and connection, day or night.

 

Materials That Reflect and Respect the Landscape

Libby’s Retreat uses natural materials to create a sense of permanence and harmony. Rammed limestone, granite, and bluestone offer bushfire resilience while visually anchoring the home to its setting. Inside, rammed earth walls, natural stone, and timber accents add richness and texture without excess.

Large retractable glass doors open the main suite to the outdoors. The result is a seamless connection to the land, where the home breathes with the landscape and evolves with the seasons.

 

A Home Built for Generations

Libby’s Retreat balances practicality with emotion. The layout supports day-to-day function while reflecting deep personal values. It’s a home made for shared meals, quiet mornings, and meaningful time together.

At the heart of it all, the Axis H1600XXL provides warmth, strength, and timeless presence. It stands not only as a piece of design, but as a living part of the family’s story.

How to Integrate Fireplaces into Minimalist Home Designs

Posted on December 4th, 2025 by marketing@sculptfireplaces.com.au

Minimalist homes rely on clean lines, open space, and intentional design. Every element must serve a purpose — and that includes the fireplace. Far from being just a heat source, a well-chosen fireplace can enhance minimalism by introducing warmth, visual rhythm, and architectural depth.

Here’s how to seamlessly integrate a fireplace into your minimalist space.

Focus on Simplicity in Form

Minimalism demands restraint. Fireplaces with smooth lines, frameless glass, and minimal visual weight work best in pared-back interiors. Avoid ornate finishes or heavy detailing. Instead, choose a design that blends seamlessly into the architecture, whether it’s set flush into the wall or suspended above a simple hearth. The goal is to enhance the space without introducing visual clutter.

 

 

Let the Fireplace Anchor the Space

In an open-plan or simplified layout, the fireplace can act as a grounding element. It offers natural rhythm and visual pause without relying on excessive decoration. When positioned with intention — along a clean feature wall or at the centre of a shared living space — it becomes a quiet focal point that draws attention without overwhelming the room.

 

Use Raw, Neutral Materials

Minimalist design often leans into materials like timber, stone, concrete, and steel. These elements bring warmth and tactility without excess. Fireplaces that echo or contrast these textures — whether through a black steel body, cast iron firebox, or polished hearth — create depth and harmony. The result is a subtle but powerful presence that aligns with the rest of the interior.

 

Pair Design with Purpose

Minimalist homes aren’t just about aesthetics — they also prioritise function and longevity. Choosing a fireplace that offers efficient heating, clean combustion, and low-maintenance performance supports this philosophy. A well-designed fireplace should not only look good, but also improve the comfort and liveability of the space without adding complexity.

 

Minimalism with Warmth and Purpose

When integrated thoughtfully, a fireplace can become the most inviting feature in a minimalist home. It brings atmosphere without excess, character without clutter, and warmth without compromise.

Product Feature: JC Bordelet Tatiana 997

Posted on November 27th, 2025 by marketing@sculptfireplaces.com.au

The JC Bordelet Tatiana 997 suspended fireplace combines sculptural presence with refined performance. Handmade in Montpellier, France, this striking fireplace offers a dramatic flame experience and a clean, contemporary silhouette. Whether you choose a rotating or fixed model, the Tatiana creates a bold centrepiece that instantly elevates the space.

Striking Form with a Fixed or Rotating Presence

You can select the non-rotating model to create a stable, calming anchor in the room. Its 180-degree flame view ensures the fire remains a visual focal point from multiple angles. The fixed design suits symmetrical layouts or spaces where clean lines take priority.

Prefer flexibility? The rotating model lets you turn the suspended firebox to face different areas throughout the day. It works especially well in open-plan settings where living and dining zones share the same central feature.

 

Striking Form with a Fixed or Rotating Presence

The Tatiana 997 Non-Rotating model provides a calm and grounded presence, perfect for interiors where symmetry and balance matter. Its 180-degree flame view allows the fire to be enjoyed from multiple angles, while the fixed position maintains a clear focal point and clean visual lines.

For those seeking more flexibility, the rotating model offers dynamic interaction with the space. Additionally, the suspended firebox can be turned with ease, allowing the flames to face different directions throughout the day.

 

Made by Hand in the South of France

Each Tatiana fireplace is hand-shaped by master artisans in the South of France, using high-grade steel and traditional spinning techniques. The attention to detail is visible in every curve and finish, creating a fireplace that feels as much like sculpture as it does a functional heat source.

Additionally, the fluid, tapered body and minimalist canopy sit suspended from the ceiling, offering a sense of lightness and elegance that contrasts beautifully with the elemental power of fire.

 

Design That Anchors and Elevates a Room

Whether installed in a modern home, boutique accommodation, or luxury retreat, the Tatiana 997 transforms the atmosphere of a space. Its suspended form opens up the room, while the flame provides a sense of intimacy, rhythm, and quiet drama.

Furthermore, from fixed stability to rotating versatility, this fireplace delivers both visual impact and long-lasting warmth.

Explore the JC Bordelet Collection

The Tatiana 997 is part of Sculpt Fireplace Collection’s exclusive range of suspended fireplaces by JC Bordelet. Each piece reflects the heritage, artistry, and innovation of French design, backed by premium materials and timeless appeal.

Project Feature: House NB, Slovenia

Posted on November 20th, 2025 by marketing@sculptfireplaces.com.au

Perched at the edge of a valley in Podgorje pri Slovenj Gradcu, Slovenia, House NB is a masterful expression of architecture in harmony with landscape. With its sculptural Art Deco form and seamless transitions between interior and exterior, the residence invites both contemplation and connection.

At the centre of the home, the JC Bordelet Lea suspended fireplace, proudly supplied by Sculpt Fireplace Collection, anchors the open-plan space with warmth and visual drama.

Fire at the Heart of the Home

Suspended mid-air beneath soaring ceilings, the JC Bordelet Lea creates a striking focal point in the main living zone. Flames remain in full view from every angle, casting light and comfort across the living, dining, and kitchen areas. Its central placement encourages both gathering and quiet reflection.

 

A Home Designed for Flow and Light

Daylight pours in through floor-to-ceiling windows, illuminating the organic transitions between spaces. The home features a raised dining platform, a library nook, a gallery-style play area, and a floating stone kitchen island—each with a unique purpose and feel, yet all grounded by the fireplace.

The result is a unified interior experience, where each zone feels intentional, open, and tactile.

 

Architecture That Embraces Its Setting

Outdoor terraces wrap around the building and extend the living areas into the surrounding valley. These spaces blur the boundaries between inside and out, offering year-round use and uninterrupted connection to the land.

The bold exterior form shelters the quiet, material-rich interiors, where wood, stone, and soft lighting create a calming rhythm throughout.

 

Details That Elevate Everyday Living

In private zones, the same design language continues. A spa-inspired bathroom, influenced by Henri Rousseau’s lush, surreal landscapes, integrates art, nature, and texture. Every surface and transition reflects careful attention and refined restraint.

At every turn, House NB reveals new layers of experience. The JC Bordelet Lea fireplace doesn’t just heat the home, it brings it to life.

Double-Sided Fireplaces

Posted on November 13th, 2025 by marketing@sculptfireplaces.com.au

Double-Sided Fireplaces: Smart Ways to Divide Open Spaces Beautifully

Open-plan living creates flow, light, and connection, but it also presents design challenges. How do you define zones without disrupting openness? How do you create intimacy while maintaining a clean layout?

A double-sided fireplace offers the perfect solution. It acts as both a heat source and a sculptural room divider, delivering function, atmosphere, and architectural interest all in one.

 

Seguin MV8000 DS

Create Distinct Zones Without Walls

Unlike solid partitions, a double-sided fireplace separates spaces without blocking them. It introduces warmth, texture, and a central focus, while keeping sightlines open.

Whether positioned between a living and dining area, or used to divide a master suite and ensuite, the effect is the same: you get two beautifully defined spaces, each with access to the same flame.

 

Axis I1000 Freestanding Double-Sided

Design tip: Use a double-sided fireplace to zone without closing off. Pair it with low cabinetry, feature ceilings, or a concrete bench to further define the area.

Enhance Light, Warmth and Flow

At Sculpt Fireplace Collection, we offer a selection of double-sided wood fireplaces that suit both traditional and modern spaces.

Popular options include:

Axis I1000 DS Freestanding – a clean, architectural unit ideal for bold, open-plan interiors

Seguin Multivision 8000 DS – a cast iron firebox with strong heat retention and expansive glass

Axis H1600XXL DS – a bold, double-sided flame view perfect for dividing large open spaces with warmth and style.

Each fireplace combines European craftsmanship with powerful performance and thoughtful detail.

 

Axis H16000 XXL

Style and Efficiency in Equal Measure

Double-sided fireplaces don’t just look good. With high-efficiency combustion systems, clean glass technology, and options for external air intake, they work hard too. These features allow you to enjoy the benefits of open-plan living without compromising on warmth or energy use.

They’re also ideal for modern renovations, where zoning and heating performance are both high priorities.

Ready to Define Your Space Differently?

If you’re designing a home or renovating an open-plan layout, consider the beauty and practicality of a double-sided fireplace. It’s more than a feature, it’s a smart, stylish way to structure space with warmth and purpose.

Product Feature – XP Series

Posted on October 30th, 2025 by marketing@sculptfireplaces.com.au

How Modern Fireplaces Are Designed for Sustainability and Energy Efficiency

Today’s homeowners want more than just warmth from their fireplace. They’re looking for high performance, refined design, and sustainable technology that works in harmony with their lifestyle and the environment. The Axis XP120 Inbuilt Wood Fireplace delivers exactly that.

Designed and handmade in France, the XP Series represents the future of efficient, elegant heating. At the heart of the range is the Axis XP120, a modern inbuilt fireplace that blends innovation with timeless European craftsmanship.

Built for Performance, Designed to Last

The Axis XP120 stands apart from conventional wood fireplaces through its durable construction and smart engineering. Its internal cast iron liners increase thermal mass and heat retention, allowing the unit to continue radiating warmth long after the fire dies down. The tapered base not only enhances airflow but removes the need for a traditional log pan, streamlining both function and form.

 

Every detail, from the blackline glass to the minimalist frame, speaks to quality and performance that doesn’t sacrifice aesthetics.

Smarter Fire with DAFS Technology

The XP120 is equipped with DAFS (Double Air Flow System), a key innovation that improves combustion efficiency. By injecting oxygen precisely into the chamber, DAFS ensures complete firewood combustion while reducing emissions. It also keeps the glass cleaner for longer and extends the burn time, offering a more efficient and lower-maintenance fire experience.

The fireplace also features Triple Action Heating:

Radiant heat from the flame and surfaces

Accumulated heat stored in the firebox

Convection heat that circulates through the room

This approach provides consistent warmth while maximising every log burned.

A Contemporary Classic

Beyond its technology, the Axis XP120 suits a range of modern interiors. The slimline silhouette, tapered base, and glass-to-flame clarity give it a sharp architectural presence. Whether integrated into a concrete bench, stone hearth, or custom cabinetry, this unit brings both performance and elegance into one refined solution.

 

Ideal for new builds or renovations, the XP Series offers an energy-conscious alternative to traditional fireplaces without compromising on atmosphere or style.

Explore the Axis XP Range

The XP120 is part of the evolving Axis XP Series, designed for architects, builders, and homeowners who value sustainability, longevity, and high-end performance. With its modern design, low-emission output, and handcrafted build, the XP120 stands as a benchmark for future-ready fireplaces.
