James Treble Design Philosophy

James’ design philosophy emphasises the importance of combining aesthetics with practicality, focusing on how spaces are used as much as how they look. 

This ethos pairs perfectly with Ember Arc - the fireplace that adds ambience and style to any space and is portable for ease when moving or redesigning your space. Our designs offer a seamless blend of warmth and contemporary style, transforming any room into a cosy and stylish haven. 

Designed for DIY enthusiasts, renters and those who don’t want the hassle of a traditional fireplace, Ember Arc requires no professional trades for setup—just a standard powerpoint nearby. 

James endorses Ember Arc for this ease and functionality, sharing our passion for making beautiful design accessible to every Australian. 

He comments; "Everyone loves the idea of a feature piece that anchors a room, but not every home can accommodate a traditional built-in option. Whether it’s the practicality of installation or budget limitations, EmberArc solves this problem. This is not just a heating solution; it’s a beautifully designed piece of furniture that blends effortlessly into your space. Simply carry it in, plug it in, and enjoy."
