Any look that one desires to see as the pillar in the firebox can be installed as a back panel, and that will become the dominant pillar of any given fireplace. The dancing flames around the pillar form a moat of fire, which encompasses the chosen pillar.

This method of lining changes the “box” shape of a fireplace into a polygonal fireplace; where the flames are encompassing a central stage polygonal pillar of one’s choice of design.
