Need inspiration for your project? Check out photos from around the world to see how people have incorporated Hudson Valley Sculptural Fire Pits into yards, gardens, decks, pools, patios and fountains.

View Gallery

More than 60 restaurants, hotels, churches and public spaces have installed Hudson Valley Fire Pits as dramatic decor and outdoor gathering spaces. Hudson Valley Fire Pits clients include Google, Calvin Klein, Telfar, Sandals Ochi, Rum Fire at the Sheraton Waikiki, 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge, and the Catholic Archdiocese of Chicago.

Custom Fire Pit designs are all about making sure you get exactly what you’re looking for. Lead times for custom work are typically much longer, involving concept discussions, collaboration on image research, and drawings. I am not able to do custom sizes.
