The magic of Fire with Ercole

Ercole is a wood outdoor fireplace with a bearing structure of steel and a circular concrete seating area.


 

With a strong visual impact the outdoor fireplace can be placed in different architectural contexts. Contemporary or historical gardens, outside areas of hotels and restaurants, are the ideal places for enjoying the magic of fire with Ercole.

Not just the fireplace but also a seating area and a container for firewood which, when not in use, can also be a useful storage surface. The Ercole outdoor fireplace is provided with a closing disk that covers the combustion chamber, so as to prevent residual material getting out in the event of rain or wind.

‘Strong and statuesque, you cope with bad weather like a mythological hero. You are made of concrete that surrounds a primitive fire. You know how to be elegant and informal, your materials age and are transformed with the passing of time, giving you a more and more authentic flavour. Your generous dimensions mean that you are always the centre of attention. Your common sense can be seen in the way you organise your precious wood.’
