01. FIRE AS ART 

Designed by acclaimed Barcelona-based designer, Hiroshi Tsunoda, the multi-award-winning EcoSmart Stix is a visually striking firepit combining contemporary styling with exceptional practicality and safety. The dramatic and sculptural ethanol fire is crafted from weather-resistant stainless-steel tubes of varying lengths. It creates a modern twist on the traditional campfire. The firepits are portable and freestanding, which means they can be easily positioned almost anywhere to create a stunning centre piece or to define a zone within an alfresco or indoor space. Stix firepits are fitted with compact, clean-burning ethanol burners, they offer easy, safe operation, don’t require connection to electricity or gas, and create a captivating golden flame for hours. They are available in two sizes — the larger original Stix, which holds an AB8 burner producing a larger–scale flame, and the smaller Stix 8, which comes in black and houses a compact yet effective AB3 burner. ecosmartfire.com.au
