A sculptural firepit system that doubles as seating and integrated wood storage. The steel ring, curved benches, and radial log layout make it both functional and beautifully minimalist. A nice blend of industrial design and outdoor warmth.
Also, as it heats up it'll dry off the surrounding wood so as long as you have at least one good dry log and some kindling you'll be fine after some initial burning.
Are you all mentally challenged in the comments here? Who the fuck sits with their back to fire this close?
Benches AROUND are for sitting (in the corners of the picture), the ring around the pit is just a fancy ring around the pit, which also includes a space for keeping logs. Plus the thin metal and the construction itself looks like it isn't even designed to hold a person sitting on the ring.
A sculptural firepit system that doubles as seating and integrated wood storage.
If the “benches” that are out of frame are the seating, they aren’t “doubling” as anything. And the furniture isn’t exactly “multi-functional” in that case, either.
A better explanation would be that it’s only supposed to “double as seating” when the fire isn’t in use.
The only picture showing people sitting has them in camping chairs around the fire. So I don’t think the out-of-frame “benches” are part of this product. They aren’t in all the other images, either.
How is that multi functional? The fire pit has once function. The ring has one function. The benches have one function. I see 3 components here and none have multiple functions.
And what is "doubling as seating"? It's a bad description. Why defend it?
Good point. But I took the "doubling" only for integrated wood storage part. Like: seatings around, the fire pit AND integrated wood storage.
So, hard to tell. Might be poor choice of words. And I still think it doesn't even look like the ring around can hold a person sitting on it. But really hard to tell from the picture.
It literally says "doubles as seating". What is doubling as seating?
I see the benches on the outside but they're not "doubling as seating". The only thing that could potentially be "doubling as seating" is the wood storage ring, and sitting there would be a terrible idea. I only see one interpretation for the description.
Most likely op is just dumb and made up a description that is wrong.
Don't forget about the fact that you can't talk to the others on the "bench" either. Because we're all facing outwards and our faces are not lit by the fire 🙃
Edit: your ass will also be frozen or hot if the metal does or doesn't absorb the heat from the fire, metal sucks in the winter lol.
Not only is the bench stupid, but I’ve set an entire pile of wood on fire that was next to a pit. The wood was somewhat wet so I piled it next to the pit to dry out. It dried out. Someone just has to get it hot enough and the wood will spontaneously combust. It was terrifying and amazing to turn around see such a big fire.
The ring with the firewood is not the bench part, the benches are barely visible in the corners of the picture, they are separate from the piece where the fire is.
And therefore not multifunctional as seating like the OP claims. They added incorrect features to the product as they posted it, which is annoyingly similar to how most salespeople operate, in my experience
The firewood storage is a fine idea for when you're actively using the fireplace but you can't really store firewood there for longer periods of time since there's no weather protection at all.... Which means that you'd have to move firewood from one storage solution to this to use it and then put the rest back again when you're done, or just not use the storage function of this in the first place.
Spiders absolutely love wood piles. Guess who comes running your way as the pit starts to heat up...
More protein for the fire
What are you, a bat?
This is the sole reason we burn the wood. The heat and light source are just convenient afterthoughts.
It's also a design for the desert, where it never rains, otherwise that wood would be unusable. Typical artistic product: all looks, no function.
I don't see the problem. It's just as covered as any wood shed I've seen.
Also, as it heats up it'll dry off the surrounding wood so as long as you have at least one good dry log and some kindling you'll be fine after some initial burning.
How is it no function when you just said it’s designed for the desert. I’m not complaining that a fur coat doesn’t work for me on the equator
Fair enough. It's just a highly specialized device.
Not really. The wood is relatively covered from the rain, and if you're using the fire pit it is working to dry out the rest of the wood.
This would be a great fire pit, even in the PNW where it's 6 months of rain and fog.
Mice too. I usually keep a couple cords handy and find mouse nests quite a bit.
Pro tip- keep your woodpile 40+ feet away from your house
So? a few spiders running around? I don't see the problem.
If you feel a spider on your leg just lift up your legs and lean back into the roaring fire that’s inches behind you with no barrier
Do you think that’s meant to be sat on?!? The metal alone is too hot. It’s still chairs around the fire.
“A sculptural firepit system that doubles as seating and integrated wood storage.”
OP thinks it’s for sitting.
Why do they?
hot
The description is misleading. I should hope it doesn't double as seating

What was supposed to help me about that site? Was it the fact that the benches are sold as a separate item?
If we have to search the Internet to understand the post, we are not the problem ;)
The multifunction comes from the fact it can hold wood and burn it its not a bench.
Cool, now explain what “doubles as seating” is supposed to mean.
It means nothing, it's just OP's claim. Nowhere else they mention that the actual fire pit rim doubles as a seating area.
It's a plausible thing they could say that might get you to buy it.

1 - hit your tibia on the logs
2 - sit on a metal sheet that is heated by a fire
3 - Sit on a plain flat and hard surface with no cushion whatsoever
4 - Sit with no back support at all.
5 - Cook your back, and if you have long hair or have your back tired of not resting, burn yourself.
6 - Enjoy the good fumes from the fire next to you entering your lungs.
7 - look at the world around you alone as you wont see anyone else.
8 - Be wary of the wind or you might suddenlly feel a gentle heat on your back.

It would be a less comfortable borne settee
long hair also

You the fuck sit that far from the fire ?
At least one of those functions is burning your legs.
Put a griddle on top now you got a low seat tepanyaki
I think the seating is intended to happen when the fire isn't in use, ya dummies
You dont sit on the part where the wood is stored...
Then how does the fire pit “double as seating”?
Seriously why isn’t anyone grasping the idea of pulling the seat out and sitting a few feet away? The missing piece tells me this modular.
They should have put it closer but slightly pulled out imo if that’s the case. I also can’t see the legs for them
dumb af design.
you want to sit on it? fine, enjoy your time sitting back to back with your friends all looking in different directions.
want to use as grill? fine, enjoy reaching across this "sitting" dpace all the time.
want to use as fire place? fine, enjoy actually not getting warm because there is so much stuff beween you and the fire.
RIP anyone with long hair or loose clothing as they sit with their back to the flames.

Yep, its OP that messed up here, not the designer as everyone seems to be assuming
I think they’re assuming OP wouldn’t make such an obvious blunder when posting. Either way, the post as it’s written is a problem
More like r/designdesign honestly
OK but… spiders. And rain.
The Moróro-Rocco you say?
Rocco siftedi I believe
It seems too close to the fire to sit on.
If you want fire to be warm, don't require it to pass it's heat though it's entire wood pile before reaching you.

Looks nice enough tho
The biggest issue I have is the blatant fire risk.
There's 5mm gaps in that top surface where embers can and will fall.
Literally no advantage bar the aesthetic.
oh that's lovely
Now when I tell my family how each of them have disappointed me, it will be over a classy fire pit thing!
Thanks, I hate it. Probably costs like $3990 too.

Burning wood is really bad for climate and health.
Well. That's porn.
How are those “seats” on the right side being supported? Smells like slop.
1cm steel should be even enough for this one who don’t know what cm are.
The question was more of a is it welded and are their braces? Hi, I’ve worked in fab shops for the last 20 years.
