The non-planar firepit combines artistry and function through 3D concrete printing. It was designed with non-planar printing techniques, turning a familiar outdoor object into a sculptural centerpiece.

Its fluid, organic shape makes it a standout feature for outdoor spaces. It balances appearance and practicality: a modern design piece that is also a durable, functional structure.

Design and features

  • Non-planar geometry: Instead of flat layers, the firepit uses curved, flowing print paths. This creates a smooth, dynamic surface that feels natural.
  • Function and form: The firepit is designed for long-term use and to hold up in different outdoor settings.
  • Material efficiency: The printing technique minimizes material use, which reduces waste and supports the sustainability and strength of the structure.

A collaborative achievement

The firepit reflects Vertico's focus on design and sustainability in construction. It shows how 3D printing techniques can change functional outdoor elements, a theme also explored in our article on customizable street furniture.

It is a functional object and a piece of modern design at the same time, and a clear demonstration of what non-planar paths can do, as in the 90-degree angle print.
