You probably have one, and so do your neighbors: Firepits (usually round metal decorative ones) are good excuses to stay outdoors on chilly nights. There are many varieties on the market these days, but if you really want to make a statement with fire, turn to Elena Colombo. She is a sculptor and architectural designer who creates unbelievable artistic statements with fire, from a striking 6-foot wide 200-pound steel firebowl to this amazing bit of artistry: a steel channel with a water spill, and on top of it, a gas-fed firewall. This is just one of the amazing things she creates using fire, water, earth and air. To see more, go to her Colombo Construction Corporation website. But be warned. Her 6-foot firebowl retails for $4,500, so the larger site-specific creations won’t be cheap. Or, if that’s too high-end for you, try a firepit from Exotic Flames. It’s concrete but you assemble it yourself.
