Everglow Garden Fireplace

Catching On

Everglow

The Everglow Garden Fireplace is an exceedingly simple product, and the result of the equally simple desire to light and observe a fire in the comfort of one’s garden. Similarly, its shape is a variation on one of the simplest shapes around, i.e. the circle. A tuck here and a tuck there on basic sheet metal give way to an organic shell-like shape.

The very contemporary, future-driven form and intention actually derives, ironically, from the most primal of elements and experiences. For it is, certainly, primal in its design, form and manufacture. And as such, the fireplace (more accurately perhaps fire-plate) also represents a connection to the past – a past when fire assumed critical, mythical status.

But don’t let those curves and curvaceous demeanour fool or distract you – the Everglow Garden Fireplace is also a truly useful product: simply drop a grill on top and it becomes a bbq grill, for roasting chestnuts, strip sirloin or just about anything else you like.

This compelling alt-fireplace is constructed of ordinary sheet iron, which is prone to rust; outdoors it’s sure to rust all the faster. Which lends it a certain primal, almost noble character. It just keeps on getting better. And as untreated iron it’s also easy to recycle. Happily, recycled iron retains its value and goes on to assume yet more forms and functions. The simple garden fireplace – and other like-minded schemes – are sure to catch fire, taking us back to simpler times and ensuring we maintain certain fundamental rituals; and ensuring we, as post-neo-primal people, get our food properly cooked.
