J. Rotherham, one of the oldest and most respected stone masonry companies in Britain, is pleased to introduce The Contemporary Collection: a new set of fireplace designs.

Designed to lead the way with an innovative new standard of British fireplace design, The Contemporary Collection by J. Rotherham offers a new level of quality, style and value.

As well as new and exotic engineered materials, The Contemporary Collection is designed to complement the large range of stylish new “hole in the wall” inset fires designs on the market. Carefully selected materials and well-defined proportions form the basis of this collection, presenting a simplistic beauty without obvious excess.

Take the new Taurus fireplace surround (pictured); a true example of modern fireplace design with authenticated style and quality. Inspired by Victorian heritage and engineering, Taurus is artistically framed with steel bolt studding to create a modern aesthetic which nods to the architectural influences of the Victorian era. Creating an impressive and dramatic focal point, Taurus is manufactured from Neolith; a sintered stone which guarantees a high quality surface without the interruption of seams and joints.  

One of the many impressive features of The Contemporary Collection is the material choices offered as part of the designs. J. Rotherham stocks over 5000 slabs of natural and composite stone, and some designs, such as The Taurus seen pictured, have the option to select from this extensive range of materials which include marble, granite and stone.
