Designed by sculptor and artist Melissa Crisp, these globe-like fire pits are unlike any other on the market. Made completely from steel, each ‘Up North’ fire pit is a 37-inch round handmade sphere. Melissa then carves out a design in the sphere and the ‘Up North’ fire pits feature a Minnesota wilderness forest scene with deer and a moose. Then, each fire pit is coated in a rust patina finish and features a tree branch-inspired leg stand. When ablaze, the forest design of the ‘Up North’ fire pit looks like woodland shadow cast during a sunset. With a different view of the forest scene from each angel, and a life time warranty, this outdoor fire pit is a must-have item this summer. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.1/10 - Popularity: 67% | Activity: 77% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% 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) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Artistic Outdoor Fire Pits:** Creating unique and visually stunning fire pit designs that incorporate art and design into outdoor spaces. - **Handmade Steel Fire Pits:** Producing fire pits that are skillfully crafted from steel, offering durability and a rustic aesthetic. - **Nature-inspired Fire Pit Designs:** Designing fire pits that feature wilderness scenes, invoking a sense of connection with nature. ### Who This Affects Most - **Outdoor Living:** Providing innovative and visually appealing products that enhance outdoor experiences and create a cozy ambiance. - **Art and Sculpture:** Exploring the potential for incorporating sculptures and artistic elements into functional outdoor furniture. - **Metalworking and Fabrication:** Adopting creative steel fabrication techniques to produce unique and high-quality fire pit designs. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Floral-Inspired Concrete Fire Pits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sunflower-fire-pit.md) - [Oxidized Outdoor Fire Pits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eva-solo-firecube.md) - [Ultra-Durable Fire Pits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yeti-fire-pit.md) - [Functional Design-Conscious Fit Pits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tiki-patio-smokeless-fire-pit.md) - [Smoke-Free Fire Pits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-smokeless-fire-pit.md) - [Ultra-Durable Portable Fire Pits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flamurs-kaleidoscope.md) - [Portable Smokeless Fire Pits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bondstove-fire-pit.md) - [Modular Octagonal Fire Pits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/um-8panel-fire-pit.md) - [Collapsible Propane Fire Pits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/live-outdoor-firestorm.md)
