Homeless people have all the luck, what with not having to work, or clean a house, they really have it all and by all (just joking!). Anyway, inspired by the chic look many homeless people have, comes the Philadelphia Fire Barrel.
Because the look of homeless people gathered around a fire to stay warm in something you may want to emulate, artist John Briscella was inspired by just that vision. Now you can have a Philadelphia Fire Barrel in your life, and have a fire wherever you want.
