Keeping the Fire Alive

This linear bonfire, designed by London sculptor Cathy Azria, is a dramatic construction of steel rods. Each piece is custom and made to fit into any opening. The “burning branches” glow and emit crackling and popping sounds as the steel expands, providing a sensory impact that is unique each time it is lit.
As her website explains, ”Fireplaces are no longer just about winter warmth.
