Bon-fire

As summer is timidly approaching, many of us cannot wait for that first outdoor dinner. In Denmark, a perhaps surprisingly barbecue-fanatic nation, one of the hottest new contraptions for outdoor cooking is the mobile Bon-fire kitchen. As the name reveals, the Bonfire kitchen is not a grill but a range of equipment for cooking on open fire. Developed by two friends, designer and product developer Torben Eriksen and chef René Stage, the Bon-fire kitchen is the quintessence of ‘hygge’. “What we wanted to create was that feeling of ‘hygge’ and togetherness you have when sitting around a bonfire. Unlike gas or coal grills, where you can’t really see anything, the Bon-fire kitchen creates that special atmosphere,” explains Stage.
