Handsome Salt

Design comes naturally to Sara Simon and her Los Angeles–based firm, Handsome Salt. Her latest work, the Front Facing Fireplace Malibu Project by Handsome Salt, transforms a ridge-line family home overlooking the Pacific Ocean and deep valleys. As one of the last homes on the ridge, the property offers unmatched 360-degree views, the perfect backdrop for a 100-inch frameless modern gas fireplace from Flare Fireplaces, anchoring the space as a stunning focal point.

Sara’s eclectic industrial style combines bold pops of color with the clean architectural lines you’d expect in a contemporary home. The Front Facing Fireplace Malibu Project by Handsome Salt blends these elements seamlessly. The frameless design of the Flare fireplace ties together the home’s open-plan living space, creating a focal point that feels both modern and inviting.

Hip, colorful accent pieces bring personality to the room, making it a space any family can feel connected to. It’s a design that speaks to a happy, adventurous heart while honoring the sophistication of Malibu’s coastal lifestyle.

“It is very design forward,
and will be great for a family
who appreciates design.”

Modern Gas Fireplace

“It is very design forward, and will be great for a family who appreciates design,” says Sara Simon. Her choice of a front facing modern gas fireplace not only delivers warmth but also elevates the atmosphere of the room, framing the fire against the backdrop of Malibu’s natural beauty.

With its 100-inch width, frameless look, and crisp modern detailing, the Flare fireplace anchors the space without overwhelming it. This balance allows for a relaxed, family-friendly environment that still embraces high design.

The Front Facing Fireplace Malibu Project by Handsome Salt showcases what happens when great design meets premium fireplace engineering. The result is a home that inspires, from its ocean-facing windows to the warmth of its contemporary fireplace.

Kelli Gibson, Architecture firm

I work at an Architecture firm and called for some technical assistance on a room-dividing unit. In the past, other companies have just answered my questions with as little detail as possible just to get off the phone. The guy who answered my phone call at Flare Fireplaces (Kyle) went above and beyond and walked me through the entire set up of the unit, toured me through different diagrams on the website so I could visually see what he had explained, and then followed up with an email with EVERYTHING I needed. I tend to ask a lot of questions, and I never once felt like he was annoyed or that he was trying to pawn me off. I never leave 'reviews', but this was such a positive experience, I had to leave one. You can tell this is a great company and the employees are very passionate about their product. I highly recommend!.
