Every home needs a center of serenity. The calm lines of the Bowl O' Zen make a statement without speaking loudly. It just is.

Modern, classical, contemporary, the Big Bowl O' Zen fits equally well into any landscape. A perfect hemisphere of heavy duty steel on a slim, nearly hidden base, the Big Bowl O' Zen is as simple as truth, as solid as the foundations of knowledge. As the focal point of a meditative space the Big Bowl O' Zen holds it's own council and invites you to peer deeply into the fire to contemplate the spheres of existence.

The pleasing rust patina of the Big Bowl O' Zen gives it a very natural look that harmonizes with the colors of your plantings, landscaping or garden. Hand-cut and ground to a smooth finish, the Big Bowl O' Zen is a hand-crafted, humble artifact requiring no maintenance to last generations. If you prefer black, you can paint the bowl with a high-temperature grill or automotive spray paint. The heavy 1/4 inch thick steel plate can be left outdoors year round. A hole is cut in the center of the bowl to allow water to drain.

The Big Bowl O' Zen can also be used to stunning effect as a planter or container garden.

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 do not make screens for any of the firebowls but I can refer you to someone who can.

Hi there!

Can this be placed on a trex deck, or do I need some kind of pad. How would I rig it to drain through the deck, instead of on the deck?

Also, I was wondering how heavy these are?

Also, do you make a topper that can be placed on the bowl to make a table?

Thanks!
