ColsenKeane

Over the course of 25 years traveling to more than 40 countries, Scott Hofert was always on the hunt for the ideal leather bag, wallet or case that would weather his lifestyle. His search eventually led him to start making his own items that would best serve his needs. Focusing on simple, rugged and durable goods, he discovered fulfillment – and that other people were also on a search for what he was making.

Fire Bowls As Art

Fire Bowls As Art

We’re not typically proponents of most yard art. While a handful of artists or eccentrics may be able to pull it off, for the rest of us it’s a risky proposition.

However, after discovering these fire bowls we’ve made an exception. The recycled and carbon steel shapes are reminiscent of a Viking gathering – raw, significant, powerful. Their sizeable nests allow for attention-getting burns that can warm a crowd on a chilly fall evening.
