Judges comments
Bowl - Firepit & BBQ
Graceful, multifaceted and eye-catching, the product appears both rugged and refined with its minimalist stand nestling a rounded enamel-coated body. Clever, interchangeable accessories and simple usability result in a product that can be used as both a fireplace and BBQ in a number of possible ways.
Spin - Tabletop Fire Lantern
The product appears effortlessly slender, stylish and arresting with a choice of base to extend use for in and outdoor applications. Clever utilisation of form in the metal base results in a twisted flame that is encapsulated and framed by a thin, resilient glass tube, which creates a visually enchanting effect.
