It is very easy to get sick of seeing the same-old same-old fire pits
over and over again. They look like the smaller fire pit photo (left)
and they work just fine but they are so dull! Can't we look outside the
box a bit more for inspiration?The fire pit below is a simple indentation filled with rock chips
(remember to be careful picking this material- some rocks explode when
you expose them to high heat) and the back of it is a panel of CorTen
steel with a lazer-etched design of a tree. It would be a great way to
reflect the heat into the sitting area. Now, this picture actually isn't
real- it is a computer rendering- but as a design concept I like it a
lot. What do you think?
