A storied history

Founded by designer Jean-Claude Bordelet, JC Bordelet has been designing and manufacturing forward-thinking fireplaces since 1976. Based out of Jean-Claude’s workshop in his hometown of Montpellier, France, the JC Bordelet has become known for its avant-garde take on wood fireplaces — the brand first caused a stir at a Parisian trade show in 1982 when JC Bordelet presented a central fireplace suspended by its flue, open on all sides and with a vibrant glossy blue finish. The brand has retained the suspended effect as a signature to this day.

Contemporary leanings

Almost half a century later, every JC Bordelet designer wood fireplace is still handmade by experienced craftspeople. Imbuing any space with contemporary elegance, the JC Bordelet Eva 992 is the result of decades of artisan engineering and dedicated pursuit of fireplace excellence. The sleek, modern appearance of the JC Bordelet fireplace range makes them ideally suited to Australian residences and commercial properties, with locals often gravitating towards contemporary interior design styles. However, its versatile nature and a plethora of colour customisation options – in addition to anthracite grey and metallic black as standard, there are over 180 colour options available – make these fireplaces able to effortlessly integrate into homes with retro, mid-century modern, and traditional interior design styles.

The largest in the range, the JC Bordelet Eva 992 is designed to serve double duty as both a heater and a statement piece. Lending itself to both residential and commercial applications, its 360-degree viewing area is set to captivate and delight those around it.

Thoughtful design

Every facet of the JC Bordelet Eva 992 is designed with aesthetics, durability, and longevity in mind. In order to facilitate ease of use and maintenance, all JC Bordelet suspended fireplaces come standard with grates and ash containers. The top components of each suspended fireplace – that are affixed to ceilings and roof cavities with brackets – are created bespoke for each unit, ensuring ease of application for residential and commercial projects alike.

A functional sculpture, the JC Bordelet Eva 992 marries harmonious design with a practical necessity, introducing the aesthetic and ambience of a roaring fire into any space.
