Testimonials

I have come to know John Unger well over the last year. John is one of the hardest-working, most selfless artists I have met. Whenever we speak on the phone, he inevitably will turn the conversation to how he is helping other artists to be successful at their business.

Matt Trifiro, CEO of 1000 markets


John has always been a friend to the art community… sharing his artwork, his ideas and his stories. We've all learned a lot from him. We've all benefited from the help he has generously provided.

Clint Watson, Fine Art Studio Online


An inventive and talented artist with a generous spirit, Unger not only makes a good living by using the web, he shares his knowledge and experiences out loud on his blog for the benefit of other people on the same path. What's more, he does it with as much style, humor and care as he seems to put into his art; I'm a sucker for any fine artist who can also write his ass off.

Colleen Wainwright, the communicatrix


Eternal Flame sculpture arrived… It's great! Thanks for your fantastic science/art collision… it will be a wonderful representation of our "make it glow" culture and serve as a terrific staff recognition icon.

The Beach burner Portable Bonfire

The Beach burner Portable Bonfire is the most portable of my full size firebowls, perfect for trips to the beach, camping or maybe even roadtrips. Make yourself at home wherever you go by bringing hearth and home along. The distinctive hand-cut flames of the Beach Burner will draw attention wherever you carry it. Make your mark by having the fire that *everyone* wants to gather round. Leave your mark by keeping the world in pristine condition for other campers, unsullied by burn scars.

If you appreciate lasting tools and high quality gear, the Beach Burner is the kind of superior design you can feel proud to pass down through the generations. Start a tradition of gathering under the stars, enjoying the wilderness, exploring the world and telling stories over the fire. Get primal in the primeval wilderness, create a center for your expeditions, forge lasting bonds with friends around this hand-worked steel firebowl. Since man first tamed fire, fire has been the heart of the home. Now you can take it with you and share the warmth and beauty of companionship around the flames.

The Sculptural Firebowl Story

The power of fire and the strength of steel fuse in elemental elegance to create sculptural fine Art reborn from the ashes of industry. Since I created the first Great Bowl O' Fire, my art has set the world on fire— I've shipped over 800 firebowls to 49 states and 10 countries. Check the Locations map to see how the blaze has spread, including firebowls you can visit such as SouthEast Porch in Bryant Park, Sandals, Montego Bay, and the Sheraton Waikiki's Rumfire bar.

As Gabriel Guzman writes in The Daily Book of Art:
Who would have thought that a bowl of fire could be so beautiful? Hand-cut out of recycled steel, these bowls combine sculpture and function to create unique works of art with industrial flair that provide warmth and an exciting centerpiece for events. When in use, the flame-like edges of these bowls cast mesmerizing shadows that dance across the ground, acting as part of the art.

It's easy to see why fire features have become such a popular element of landscape design… The warmth and focus of an open hearth under the stars provides a great space for socializing and conversation, extending the living area of your home to the outdoors. An evening around the fire is a pleasurable pastime, as flames capture the imagination, sparking ancient memories spanning back to the dawn of time. The constant movement and change of fire is both soothing and exciting, the perfect backdrop for tall tales, quiet reflection or intimate moments.

Sculptural Firebowls make a stunning focal point for yards, patios and gardens. Unlike many outdoor firepits which look dirty or empty when unlit, Sculptural Firebowls function as a gorgeous sculptural element either hot or cold. By day, the designs cast intriguing shadows both inside and outside the bowl and the rich tones of the patina suggest a warm blaze. At night, with a fire burning, the bowl casts flickering shadows as lively as the fire within.

Gather friends and family to celebrate around a roaring blaze year-round. The raised bowl allows you to sit comfortably without having to lean forward to stay warm. Keep your feet toasty, tucked below the rim of the bowl and bask in the full-body radiance that a raised firebowl offers. An outdoor fire pit is a great way to extend the outdoor living season.

Sculptural Firebowls are unique works of art hand-cut by artist John T. Unger. No two are exactly alike, as the designs are drawn free-hand. Each firebowl is singed with a stainless steel nameplate that guarantees authenticity.

Sculptural Firebowl Facts

  • Each firebowl is a unique work of art, signed by the artist
  • Dynasty Guarantee— your firebowl will last lifetimes
  • Cut from 100% recycled, American made steel
  • Provides safer fires on windy evenings
  • A small hole in the bowl's center provides drainage, and makes it simple to convert the bowls to clean-burning propane or natural gas
  • When used for wood fires, hold more wood than commercial fire pits
  • Holds and radiates heat
  • Raised bowl warms the whole body, allowing more comfortable seating
  • The weight of the bowl makes this an exceptionally stable outdoor firepit

  • 1/4" plate steel will last essentially forever

If my job as an artist is to fill the world with "more things," I feel it is equally important that I reclaim materials from the waste stream to make space for my work. I also believe strongly in designing for permanence and for functionality. Designed to become an everlasting part of your family tradition, Sculptural Firebowls come with a Dynasty Guarantee— a legacy to be passed down to your children and theirs.
