The Corten Droplet Firepit is a true eye-catcher in any outdoor space. With its striking teardrop shape and curved, open-slat design, it creates a captivating interplay of light, shadow, and form.
When lit, the Droplet transforms into a dramatic fire feature, casting a soft, flickering glow. Crafted from premium Corten steel, the Droplet matures with time, developing a rich, rusted patina that adds depth and character.

About Corten:
When you first receive your Corten steel item (aka weathered steel), it may be a bright orange or sometimes a darker brown (depending on how much it’s weathered on its journey to you).
As it’s exposed to the elements, especially rain and dry spells, it naturally starts to rust. This forms a protective layer called a patina, which changes colour over time, from orange to deep brown, and eventually a rich, almost-black tone. Patina is a type of rust (but not a damaging kind). Unlike regular rust, this patina seals the surface and actually prevents further corrosion, which is why Corten is often used for outdoor structures and sculptures.

Safety
Metal surfaces become extremely hot during use and can cause serious burns if touched. Burning temperatures can be very high—always supervise children and pets around the fireplace.
In New Zealand, outdoor fireplaces must be situated at least 1 metre away from any building or legal boundary. However, to light the fire, a permit may require a minimum distance of 3 metres from structures, hedges, or other combustible materials. Check local council guidelines to ensure compliance with placement, safety, and fire restrictions in your area.
