Vas.co

Vision

A modern fire pit combining aesthetic appeal and functional cooking capabilities.

Innovation

A heat-resistant concrete and stainless steel construction designed for even heat distribution and outdoor cooking.

Description

Vas.co is the result of a design process that sought to merge the ancient tradition of fire with contemporary urban living. Fire, one of humanity’s most important discoveries, has long served as a source of warmth, light, and a means to cook food, bringing people together across time. With this understanding, Vas.co was designed not only as a functional fire pit but as an elegant piece that fits seamlessly into modern outdoor spaces.
The design began with the goal of creating a fire pit that was both aesthetically appealing and highly functional. Through multiple simulations and material tests, Vas.co’s form was refined to enhance durability and performance. The body of the fire pit is made from a specially selected heat-resistant steel-reinforced concrete, engineered to withstand the high temperatures generated by the fire without cracking or warping. The concrete expands at a rate similar to stainless steel when exposed to heat, ensuring structural integrity and longevity.
One of the key features of Vas.co is the stainless steel ring that sits atop the concrete base. This ring is elevated by sturdy metal rods, which allow for an optimal distance from the fire, enabling efficient heat distribution. The stainless steel ring not only helps to radiate heat evenly outward but also doubles as a cooking surface, similar to a Teppan Yaki grill. The smooth, flat surface is perfect for preparing meals while maintaining an interactive and communal cooking experience.
Vas.co’s design is minimalistic yet robust, perfectly suited for urban environments. The combination of durable materials and a sleek profile ensures that it complements a variety of outdoor spaces, from terraces to backyards. Beyond its function as a heat source, Vas.co is also a centerpiece, designed to bring people together around the fire, whether for warmth or for sharing a meal. The precise engineering of its components guarantees that the fire pit can withstand the elements and perform reliably, making it a versatile addition to any modern outdoor setting.
