The Y. Yara Fireplace is a sculptural travertine fireplace designed by Kelly Boukobza for the Y. collection.
Three nested arches define its front face, each set slightly within the last to create a layered, tunnel-like depth. The flanking ends are composed of vertical fluted stone elements, their cylindrical rhythm contrasting with the quieter weight of the arched center. The overall silhouette is low and horizontal, closer to a stone console or altar than a conventional fireplace. In matte travertine, the surface holds natural beige tones with subtle grey undertones across the mass.
Travertine runs the full length of the Yara, chosen for its mineral character and the variation it introduces between pieces. The arched geometry is ancient in reference and rigorous in execution, cut with the same precision that defines the Y. collection. The fluted ends recall classical stonework without citing it directly.
The Yara Fireplace is one of the defining objects of the Y. collection by Kelly Boukobza, an exploration of colliding volumes in raw natural stone. It pairs naturally with the other travertine pieces in the collection, including the Yu Dining Table and the Yoki Dining Table. Available on Monde Singulier.

About
Kelly Boukobza
Kelly Boukobza is the founder of KY Architecture, a Paris-based interior architecture studio she established in 2012. After studying architecture and working alongside architect Isabelle Stanislas for five years, she launched her own studio with a style she calls Modern Art Deco.
Her references are the French Decorative Arts of the 1950s: Charlotte Perriand, Jeanneret, Serge Mouille, Le Corbusier. She works them against raw materials and the restraint of contemporary minimalism. Her interiors are structured yet lively, built around sober tones and refined atmospheres adapted to how her clients live.
KY Architecture works across private residences, boutiques, hotels, and art galleries, mainly between Paris, Saint-Tropez, Avignon, Deauville, Geneva, and Méribel. A villa in Saint-Tropez in 2018 was the studio's first major reference. An apartment on Avenue Rapp in Paris (2022) and a hôtel particulier in Neuilly-sur-Seine (2022) followed. The studio has completed around a hundred projects.
Kelly Boukobza also designs furniture. The Y. collection is a capsule of colliding volumes, combining curves and angles in meticulous finishes worked in Calacatta Verde marble, Onyx Green, travertine, and walnut. It is her first collection released under her own name, outside interior commissions.
Each project at KY Architecture integrates bespoke furniture and close collaboration with craftsmen, from conception through delivery.
