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, â€Fireplaces are no longer just about winter warmth. Now they are year-round focal points in our living spaces.†Whether they provide solace and comfort on a cold winter evening or a stunning visual display, we are enticed by the ever transforming pieces that Cathy has created.
