Phoenix + Flames Sculptural Fire Pit with Stone Benches

Lori in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan just sent me the above photo of her Phoenix + Flames Sculptural Fire Pit with a note:

We love our new fire pit and thought you might like a photo. You do beautiful work!

I love the way this installation turned out. I made the base a little shorter than usual by special request, since the fire pit was to be installed on the slab of stone. The ring of stone seating is a beautiful mix of function and natural landscape. The natural gas line that runs through the stone slab into the Fire Sculptural Fire Pit is perfectly concealed.

The way the fire pit is set directly into the boulder reminds me of the story of King Arthur pulling the sword Excaliber from the stone.
