The Fiery Fleur-de-Lis Firebowl from artist John T. Unger is a tour de force in fire and steel. Whether you are hosting an intimate gathering of your inner circle, plotting an award winning landscape design or seeking the perfect focal point for a trendy new French Bistro , this firepit is sure to make a statement. A recent addition to the line of 100% recycled steel firepits handcrafted by artist John T. Unger, the Fiery Fleur-de-Lis evokes images of royalty and class that will add a regal flair to any backyard setting.
Unger was inspired to create the Fiery Fleur-de-Lis because of his commitment to crafting work which endures the flux of fashion as readily as it outlasts the elements. "I try to create objects that will never go out of style by drawing from primal metaphor and classical elements of design that speak to what it means to be human and alive," says the artist.
The history of the fleur-de-lis design goes back centuries but its message and ambiance are as timeless as the steel from which these firebowls are born. Think warmth of design. Think style and elegance. The Fiery Fleur-de-Lis is the perfect firepit for those wishing to bring an air of sophistication to their own private retreat. Gaze upon the flames flowering like a night blooming lily from this stylized design and savor the daytime silhouettes, shadows cast like a sundial upon the soil.
It may not be possible for everyone to recreate the enormous French paterre, formal gardens like those seen at the brilliantly opulent Palace of Versailles but the price of the Fiery Fleur-de-Lis brings it well within the reach of modern formal gardens. No matter how humble the size of your estate the Fiery Fleur-de-Lis can add majesty and class that expands the feel of your garden to the far horizons. Create your own version of these well-known odes to green, with affordability and individual expression.
Your Fiery Fleur-de-Lis Firebowl, with its rich and spirited history will lend the strength of the ages and a royal feel to any outdoor space. Each one is crafted from hand-finished 100% recycled steel and sized to reign prominently over your private kingdom. In an effort to showcase the natural beauty of the steel itself, the artist leaves a natural rust patina, which lends its beauty and protection for years to come. You are also free to coat the firepit in your choice of fire-resistant paint to add a personal touch to the design. The firebowl can be left outdoors year-round, requiring no maintenance and guaranteed to last for generations.
