Overview
Pure flame. Sculptural form.
The Arteflame Classic 40" Fire Pit is a dedicated outdoor fire feature designed to create a striking gathering place around a live flame.
Unlike Arteflame's cooking-focused models, this configuration includes no cooktop or grill grate. Instead, the design centers on a substantial 40" U.S. CORTEN weathering-steel fire bowl that develops Arteflame's signature natural patina with outdoor exposure.
Choose a Short Round Base for a clean minimalist profile, Short Euro Base for a more architectural presentation, or No Base for an appropriate custom installation.
No unnecessary complexity—just steel, fire, and a natural gathering place.
Key Features
- Dedicated Fire-Only Design — No cooktop or grilling surface; created specifically as an open-fire centerpiece.

- No Base Option — For integration into an appropriate purpose-designed installation.
- Wood-Burning Design — Primarily intended for seasoned hardwood, with charcoal also listed as an option.
- Made in USA — Manufactured in the United States.
Why This Product Stands Out
The appeal of the Classic 40" Fire Pit comes from its restraint.
There is no cooktop, no center grill grate, and no attempt to turn it into a multipurpose cooking appliance. The entire design focuses on the visual and social experience of an open fire.
The circular CORTEN bowl creates strong architectural presence, while the low-profile base options complement contemporary patios, pool areas, courtyards, and custom hardscapes.
As the CORTEN develops its characteristic weathered finish, the fire pit gains additional depth and character.
For customers who appreciate Arteflame's sculptural aesthetic but don't need cooking capability, this is its most direct fire-focused expression.
Choose Your Configuration
Short Round Base — A clean, understated freestanding silhouette with circular geometry that complements the bowl.
Short Euro Base — Adds architectural character with geometric styling and visible negative space beneath the bowl.
No Base — Provides the fire bowl for an appropriate custom masonry, hardscape, platform, or other purpose-designed installation.
Custom installations must follow Arteflame's current structural, ventilation, clearance, and fire-safety requirements.
CORTEN Weathering Steel
The fire bowl is constructed from U.S. CORTEN weathering steel.
Rather than maintaining a uniform painted appearance, CORTEN is intended to evolve with exposure, developing the warm natural patina associated with Arteflame's Classic collection.
Variations in color and surface appearance are part of the material's intended character.

FIRE + DESIGN + GATHERING
Care & Safety
Allow the fire, embers, ash, bowl, and base to cool completely before cleaning or handling. Remove cooled ash and excessive debris as needed.
The CORTEN bowl is designed to develop a natural weathered patina and does not require routine exterior painting.
Use outdoors only on an appropriate stable surface with adequate ventilation and required clearance from combustible materials. Follow local fire restrictions and never leave an active fire unattended.
For No Base installations, confirm structural, ventilation, clearance, and local-code requirements and follow Arteflame's current installation instructions.
