This year, the city has latched onto something to stave off the season\u2019s menacing grip: the backyard fire pit, a simple (almost paleolithic) invention that makes outdoor merriment feasible\u2014complaint-free\u2014for a little longer. Khai Foo, the designer and pyro enthusiast behind Paloform\u2014whose flame-filled showroom in Corktown is worth seeing for the fiery spectacle alone\u2014turns the camp and cottage staple into a sleek, patio-friendly hearth that\u2019s distinctly urban. The crisp, angular lines of the Bento (the popular unit above) are set off by a brilliant open flame, fuelled by clean-burning natural gas or propane and radiating up to 60,000 BTU (for the record: that\u2019s pretty hot). It\u2019s available in six colors, each made to order from hand-cast concrete and topped with Japanese lava rocks\u2014the kind found in Zen gardens\u2014or basalt river rocks. It\u2019s as much a conversation piece as anything\u2014a happier topic than how frickin\u2019 cold it\u2019s getting.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"691\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/paloform.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Paloform-toronto-life1-scaled-1-691x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/paloform.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Paloform-toronto-life1-scaled-1-691x1024.jpg 691w, https:\/\/paloform.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Paloform-toronto-life1-scaled-1-203x300.jpg 203w, https:\/\/paloform.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Paloform-toronto-life1-scaled-1-768x1138.jpg 768w, https:\/\/paloform.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Paloform-toronto-life1-scaled-1-1037x1536.jpg 1037w, https:\/\/paloform.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Paloform-toronto-life1-scaled-1-1382x2048.jpg 1382w, https:\/\/paloform.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Paloform-toronto-life1-scaled-1.jpg 1728w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 691px) 100vw, 691px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":7076,"template":"","categories":[51],"class_list":["post-5741","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-fire-pits"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/paloform.com\/eu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/5741","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/paloform.com\/eu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/paloform.com\/eu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/news"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paloform.com\/eu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paloform.com\/eu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7076"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/paloform.com\/eu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5741"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paloform.com\/eu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5741"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
