The Goods: Fireplaces
These indoor fireplaces combine thoughtful craftsmanship with modern technology to create a timeless aesthetic and a cozy atmosphere.

Born from a simple family ritual, Oramood’s fireplaces blend Nordic design, artisanal craftsmanship, and gentle technology to create soothing environments with their heat-free glow. Crafted in Joliette, Québec, Oramood fireplaces are made from materials such as solid maple and birch plywood and come in three sizes ranging from the compact “Rustik” model to “Scandik.” Their exclusive LED light, designed to mimic the flicker of a real flame, boasts a lifespan of over 40,000 hours. A free mobile app that is included with the purchase of an Oramood fireplace also offers exclusive audio content, all accompanied by the crackle of a fire to extend the sensory experience.
“This project was born from a simple yet touching question my son asked during our difficult move to a new home: ‘Dad, will we have a wood stove in the new house?’” said Mathieu Cloutier, founder of Oramood. “It stemmed from a need for grounding and comfort. Today, I’m proud to see our fireplaces finding their place in homes, classrooms, and care facilities across the country.”
Ortal’s Corner series, which is configurable on both the right and left side, features frameless glass on two sides and helps turn overlooked space into architectural focal points. The collection is powered by Ortal’s Direct Vent technology, a sealed system that ensures cleaner, safer, and more efficient heating. Its advanced power vent and heat-control systems also allow installation in typically restricted areas and enables heat to be transferred to other rooms.

Stûv America, manufacturer of wood stoves and fireplaces, has unveiled the s16-V, the fifth member of the s16 family. Inspired by mid-century aesthetics, the s16-V features adjustable legs, and can be precisely leveled and installed in various settings. As with other members of the s16 family, the s16-V incorporates smart mechanisms that help ensure simple, efficient operation. The door opens with a removable key, while a mobile smoke deflector activates automatically to evacuate smoke and prevent any backflow into the room. It also features no visible handle which offers an unobstructed view of the fire. The s16-V is available in three models: 58, 68, and 78; all EPA-certified and fully compliant with current environmental standards.
