You know, the campfire kind you enjoy when camping. The urBonfire is made from glass and steel and uses [bioethanol](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/le-feu-fires) which is both odorless and [smoke-free](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ninja-fireside360). This allows the fireplace to be used either outside in a patio or balcony or indoors in a living room. The dancing flames will add a warm ambiance to any living space. German designer, Michael Hilgers created the urBonfire for Rephorm.de. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.1/10 - Popularity: 37% | Activity: 78% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Outdoor-inspired Indoor Fireplaces:** Designing indoor fireplaces that mimic the warmth and coziness of outdoor campfires, using bioethanol, presents disruptive innovation opportunities in the home decor and interior design industry. - **Bioethanol-based Fireplaces:** Increasing popularity of eco-friendly and cost-effective bioethanol-based indoor and outdoor fireplace models is generating opportunity for the energy and construction industries to explore further innovation and sustainability options. - **Multi-purpose Fireplaces:** Developing multipurpose fireplaces like urBonfire that can be used both indoors and outdoors presents potential for disruptive innovation in the hospitality industry as well as in the home appliance and real estate sectors. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Home Decor and Interior Design:** Creating indoor fireplaces that mimic outdoor campfires could disrupt the home decor and interior design market by bringing an innovative and cozy option to homeowners. - **Energy and Construction:** Increasing demand for eco-friendly and cost-effective bioethanol-based indoor and outdoor fireplace models could disrupt the traditional energy and construction industry, creating opportunities for sustainable innovation. - **Hospitality, Home Appliance, and Real Estate:** Producing multipurpose fireplaces that can be used both indoors and outdoors like urBonfire presents new innovation opportunities for use in hotels, apartments, and homes, creating business opportunities in the hospitality, home appliance, and real estate sectors. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Cooking-Friendly Outdoor Fireplaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/regg-surprise.md) - [Dining Table Fire Pits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tabletop-fire-pit.md) - [Convenient Personal Fireplaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/personal-fireplace1.md) - [Portable Cylindrical Fireplaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ecosmart-fire-pillar-3t.md) - [Eco-Friendly Bioethanol Fireplaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glammfire-contour.md) - [Slick Modern Holographic Fireplaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/holographic-fireplace.md) - [Portable Smokeless Fire Pits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bondstove-fire-pit.md) - [Bioethanol Fireplace Website Debuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/le-feu-fires.md) - [Rounded Smoke-Free Fire Pits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smokeless-fire-pit.md)
