VERTIGO SERIES

EcoSmart’s new contemporary fire pits scale the heights of design: introducing the new Vertigo Series

Modern, sleek and practical: three words that sum up the chic new Vertigo Series of fire pits from award-winning EcoSmart Fire, a pioneer of contemporary open fireplaces.

Within the Series, there are two different square-shaped styles: the larger, Vertigo 50, and the slightly more compact Vertigo 40 – both designed to enhance the ambience of myriad interior or alfresco spaces and provide practicality for entertaining purposes. Apart from their unique shape and size, the two low-set fire pit tables share the same features. They’re both clean lined with a sleek yet sturdy concrete table surface for setting down plates, glasses and cups, and both are designed with square bases, allowing many options to pair with other furniture, such as positioning multiple armchairs around the fires or using a combination of loveseats and single seaters or ottomans.

“Versatility really is keynote, and these multi-functional fires enable you to personalise your space and then reconfigure as needed, depending on the occasion,” says Stephane Thomas, Director of MAD Design group of brands, which includes EcoSmart Fire. “They bring character and functionality into a room, whether it’s inside or outdoors. And to further enhance the flexibility of these fires, there are also optional smoky glass cover plates that allow for easy conversion to full coffee tables when the fireplaces aren’t in use.”

Vertigo 40 and Vertigo 50 are handcrafted using high quality, weather-resistant Fluid™ Concrete, an incredibly strong yet relatively lightweight material. The fire pits feature a stain and impact-resistant barrier that protects them from environmental weathering, even under extreme conditions and long UV exposure. And there are three timeless colours to choose from: Natural, Graphite and Bone.

At the heart of the fires is a round-shaped stainless steel burner which allows for all-flame enjoyment, surrounded by the included recessed square toughened glass fire screen. For those seeking a different aesthetic, also offered is an optional round raised glass fire screen. And to provide a finishing touch and further define the flame, there’s also a large burner tray with decorative media.

The ethanol models of EcoSmart’s Vertigo 40 and Vertigo 50 fire pits are powered by clean-burning e-NRG, a natural, renewable energy source with no harmful emissions. “Our clients love the fact that our ventless ethanol fires can be used in a myriad of indoor and outdoor spaces, including apartments and condominiums,” adds Stephane. “No connections, chimneys or flues are required, which really reinforces EcoSmart’s point of difference – design freedom.”

And in the US, UK and Europe, EcoSmart’s Triple Fuel Technology also provides the choice of plumbed natural gas or readily available propane gas, for outdoor-only gas fire pits.
