The Avignon Fireplace

Design Heritage

Avignon is rooted in contemporary minimalism with an architectural, almost sculptural sensibility. Its strong rectangular frame and pared-back detailing echo modernist interiors, while the softened, angled reveals add a sense of design pedigree—like a finely detailed aperture set within a solid surround. The result is a fireplace that feels confidently modern without ever appearing stark.

The Details

The defining feature is the deep chamfer that sweeps inwards from the outer frame, creating a faceted “picture-frame” effect around the opening. Clean, sharp arrises and a precise stepped relationship between outer surround and inner recess introduce shadow and contrast, giving the design depth and visual drama while remaining elegantly understated.

Proportions & Presence

With its substantial legs and broad mantel line, Avignon reads as a confident statement piece—ideal for anchoring a feature wall. The wide opening and pronounced inner taper pull focus to the fire, while the strong geometry keeps the composition balanced and calm. It suits rooms where you want a single, decisive focal point rather than ornamentation.

Styling Suggestions

Avignon pairs beautifully with contemporary textures—plaster walls, large-format tiles, timber floors and modern metalwork—where its crisp lines can take centre stage. For a transitional look, combine it with softer furnishings, layered rugs and classic accessories to introduce warmth against the clean architecture. Crafted by master artisans in your choice of premium stone, it can be specified to harmonise with both tonal, minimalist palettes and bolder contrast schemes.
