CHESNEYS CONTEMPORARY FIREPLACE COLLECTION
SIMPLE MODERN DESIGN COMBINES WITH CLEAR ARCHITECTURAL FORM TO ENSURE THE FIREPLACE REMAINS THE FOCUS OF THE ROOM
These designs have been guided by the premise that whilst the detail and form of the fireplace may have been re-imagined to suit modern tastes, its proportions should still be governed by traditional considerations that ensure its size suits the room which it is to be installed.
The Chesney's contemporary collection contains both re-workings of classical designs and a number of entirely new designs that offer an innovative alternative approach to traditional fireplace design.
The Burlington
The Burlington fireplace is a timeless design carved from limestone. With its simple geometric lines and classical proportions, it will give architectural interest and a sense of scale to both modern and traditional interiors.
