Modern Pyramid-shaped Fireplaces Inspired by Ancient Egyptian Pyramid
So, you want a modern fireplace. And you don't want one of those old-fashioned hearth-in-the-wall deals, not when new technology has brought so many more options.
Case in point: Arkiane's pyramid-shaped Kephren closed central fireplace.
"The Kephren pyramid, built many centuries ago, stands next to the great Sphinx, and still mystifies those who observe it. Arkiane has created a new concept with this timeless form: a fireplace without any apparent smoke shaft, a marvel for your entourage. Here, everything is but flames and beauty, freedom, calm and serenity."
In case you're wondering how it works without a chimney, the snazzy pyramid fireplace has four tubes hidden beneath it, which draw down smoke and evacuate it via a horizontal tube linked to a vertical chimney. The duct can be under your floor or under a platform that disguises the system. Thanks to the innovative venting system, your fireplace can be placed anywhere in the room and at any height.
