Glowing Bowl
The Vesta fire pit, designed by Boxhill owner Elizabeth Pzygoda-Motgomery, is the first in a collection of "goddess-inspired fire pits" from its Glow! Collection. This one is named after Vesta, the Roman goddess of hearth, home and family, and the inspiration for the rounded shape are the sanctuaries of the goddess that still exist in Italy. The fire pit, new for 2015 and priced for $395, is part of Boxhill's Glow Collection.

Rustic Modern
Fire pits can be functional and exude a sense of design, as with the Bentintoshape 30-inch round fire pit. The Cor-Ten steel will weather to an antique appearance, and an optional cover can turn it into a cocktail table.
