Signi Fires: The Aero Mini: A Chic Suspended Fireplace Made for Smaller Spaces

Suspended fireplaces are becoming more and more popular in the world of modern design, and the latest addition to the Signi Fires® collection brings plenty of drama in a more compact form. The Aero 600, informally known as the Aero Mini, offers the same design finesse and sculptural elegance as its larger sibling, the Aero 1200, but in a size that suits smaller or more minimalist spaces. Be inspired with Signi Fires.

Measuring 600mm in diameter, this handcrafted fireplace is ideal for any space where floor area is at a premium but design remains a priority. Like the larger model, the Mini can rotate a full 360 degrees, allowing you to view the flames from anywhere in the room. Whether you’re curled up on the couch or entertaining at the dining table in an open-plan living area, the Aero keeps the space warm and visually appealing.

It’s available in two formats: the suspended model (wood-burning or bioethanol) and a freestanding version on a pedestal, which runs only on bioethanol. Both versions are crafted in Cape Town with careful attention to detail. The anchor plates and body are standardised, while the hanging pipe is cut to match your ceiling height.

For those living in sectional title units or heritage buildings, the bioethanol model provides a no-flue, clean-burning option that is both safe and easy to install. There is no need to break through your roof for the chimney or for complicated approvals, just real flames and genuine heat in a form that is simple to live with.

We’re seeing more compact homes that still demand design-forward features, and the Aero Mini is perfect. In one renovation in the Garden Route, the suspended version was recommended for a reading nook off the main lounge to add just the right amount of warmth without crowding the room. In another installation, a pedestal-mounted version would become the standout piece in a small home office in Hout Bay, bringing style and comfort to the workday.

Starting from R59,995, this is a premium fireplace for those who want the look and feel of a luxury feature without needing palatial space to install it.
