The Katell Italia Genoa Flat-To-Wall Fire and Fireplace Suite combines traditional fireplace proportions with the Charlton & Jenrick i790e iRange Slimline electric fire. Its profiled painted MDF surround, 1268mm mantel width and shallow flat-to-wall format create a classic focal point without requiring a chimney, flue or recessed fireplace opening.
The Genoa is particularly well suited to interiors where a more decorative fireplace surround is preferred over a minimal contemporary suite. Detailed profiling gives the mantel greater definition, while the landscape electric fire introduces modern flame effects, smart control and electric heating.
At 941mm high, the Genoa has the proportions of a conventional fireplace while retaining the simplicity of an electric installation.
Charlton & Jenrick i790e Slimline Fire
The suite incorporates the Charlton & Jenrick i790e iRange Slimline electric fire.
Its Slimline construction helps reduce the depth required by the complete fireplace while still providing a broad landscape flame display and detailed woodland-style log arrangement.
This makes the i790e particularly well matched to a traditional flat-to-wall surround where excessive projection into the room would be undesirable.
LiveFlame Technology
The i790e uses LiveFlame technology with three flame colour options.
Each colour includes five mood settings, while flame height, brightness and movement can also be adjusted.
This allows the appearance to be changed from a softer, more traditional fireside effect to a brighter and more prominent display.
Ambient Fuel-Bed Lighting
The woodland-style fuel bed is supported by adjustable ambient lighting.
There are nine fuel-bed colours and four mood settings, providing a choice between warmer ember-style illumination and more contemporary colour effects.
The flame and fuel-bed lighting can also be operated without heat.
Smart Control and Heating
The i790e can be operated using the supplied remote handset or the C&J Smart App.
Heating output is up to 1.5kW, with two automatic heat settings and an electronic thermostat helping regulate the selected room temperature.
A seven-day programmable timer provides scheduled heating control, while open-window detection responds to sudden temperature drops.
Optional crackling sound effects can also be accessed through the app.

Expert Insight
The Genoa is a strong option where a traditional fireplace appearance is wanted without installing a conventional inset fire or creating a chimney recess. Its profiled surround gives the suite more architectural detail than Katell’s simpler contemporary models, while the i790e Slimline keeps the overall fireplace practical for flat-to-wall installation.
The result works particularly well in period-inspired and transitional interiors where a completely minimalist electric fireplace could feel too modern.
Suitability
The Katell Italia Genoa is suited to lounges, sitting rooms and traditional or transitional interiors where a complete fireplace centrepiece is required. Its electric format also makes it suitable for homes without an existing chimney or usable fireplace opening.
