Ben and his wife, Hailey, own a home design business – H. Bee Architecture. For him, coming up with envelope-pushing furniture designs and concepts he can turn into reality for his clients is nothing new. It’s a way of life.
Ben’s vision for H. Bee Fire was borne from spotting two needs.
First, Ben saw a gap in the market: a lack of high-quality outdoor gear for nature enthusiasts that lasted longer than a year or two.
Second, Ben was helping to build a custom home for a client who wanted a custom fire pit. When nothing fit their requirements was found, the idea to create a functional fire pit with an easy-to-assemble slotted design came into being.
After testing numerous metals, he found two that stood up against time
and looked great doing it: Hot Rolled Pickled & Oiled steel (HRPO) and Corten steel.
Fire pits that are a perfect marriage of sculptural art and functional portability – for play, travel, and beyond.
Ben didn’t want to just add another product to the market that wouldn’t last longer than a few years. He wanted to create an aesthetically pleasing, easily portable piece that would sturdily stand the test of time. A piece that that he could enjoy with family and friends, and get that campfire feeling in many different settings.
