The Hemisphere is exactly what we were looking for to complete our outdoor space. The scale and presence make it a true centerpiece, and the clean, sculptural design blends beautifully with the circular hardscape and surrounding landscape. Made of solid cast iron and weighing in at 125 lbs., it feels incredibly well-built and should have the durability to last for years. We’ve already enjoyed numerous evenings around it, and it throws off plenty of warmth while looking fantastic day or night. What surprised me the most is how cleanly the fire burns – there’s almost no smoke once it gets going as the wide bowl provides a vortex-like supply of oxygen for complete combustion. Couldn’t be happier with the purchase and highly recommend it to anyone wanting a statement fire feature that’s as functional as it is beautiful.
