Modern Flames Orion Multi Series 3-Sided Smart Electric Fireplace

Overview

The Modern Flames Orion Multi is a 3-sided electric fireplace built for rooms where the fire feature needs to read from more than one angle, such as a peninsula wall or a room divider. It is offered in a built-in or wall-mounted configuration and spans five widths, from 52 to 120 inches, so the same design line covers everything from a secondary sitting area to a great room feature wall.

Flame Presentation

The Orion Multi uses a layered flame display with adjustable color, brightness, and flame speed, giving multiple looks from a single unit. An optional crackling sound effect adds to the sensory experience without requiring a real burn or venting. Because the flame effect and heater operate independently, the fireplace can run as a lit feature with the heat switched off, which matters in warmer climates or shoulder seasons.

Heating Performance

An electronic heater provides on-demand heat rated for approximately 400 to 500 square feet. Heat output and flame settings are controlled separately, so room temperature does not dictate whether the flame display can be used.

Installation

Depending on the model and width selected, the Orion Multi supports either hardwire installation or a plug-and-play setup, giving flexibility for new construction versus retrofit projects. The unit carries CSA certification, confirming it meets recognized electrical safety standards for indoor installation. Three-sided viewing means the surrounding wall or partition framing needs to account for viewing angles on more than one face, which is worth confirming with a contractor ahead of ordering.

Controls

Wi-Fi connectivity pairs with a companion app and included remote, allowing flame color, brightness, and heat to be adjusted without a wall-mounted switch. This is useful for installations where the fireplace sits above reach or across the room from a light switch.

Who It's For

The Orion Multi suits homeowners and designers working with an open floor plan or a room divider where a single fireplace needs to be visible from multiple seating areas, as well as anyone replacing a single-sided unit with a more architectural, multi-angle feature.

What's Included

Fireplace unit, remote control, and mounting hardware. Trim and surround options vary by width and are sold separately depending on the installation type.
