The Font O' Fire has a grace to it that complements nearly any setting. If you're looking for a tasteful, minimalist firebowl for a modern home this might be just the ticket. The Font O' Fire holds a good-sized fire, using charcoal or wood.

Hand-cut and ground to a smooth finish, the Font O' Fire has a pleasing rust patina as the standard finish. If you prefer black, you can paint the grill with a high-temperature grill or automotive spray paint. The heavy 1/4 inch thick steel plate can be left outdoors year round, requiring no maintenance to last generations. A hole is cut in the center of the bowl to allow water to drain.

Statement + Bio | Curriculum Vitae | Bibliography

I'm best known as an artist and designer. Relaxing makes me tense, so I tend to put in a lot of hours on diverse projects.

On the way to a successful art career I've been a poet and writer, a tech geek, a print and web designer, illustrator, industrial designer, musician, teacher, actor, set designer and even a paid guru once.

It's all the same thing in the end— I wake up most days thinking about how I want to change, fix or improve some aspect of the world. And after a couple cups of coffee I get started on it.

My specialty is impossibility remediation: if it can't be done, I'm on it.

I'm interested in the Font o fire...
I have searched all of your pictures and can't seem to find any with the solid versions or any in the 31" size.
Before deciding 37 or 31, I'd like to see them in relation to something (person, chair, etc..)

Thanks!
