Notre histoire
Urban Bonfire is dedicated to designing and manufacturing timeless quality products for outdoor space activation.
Un début modeste
Founded with the idea of being “the Williams-Sonoma of the outdoors,” Urban Bonfire started humbly as a full-service outdoor kitchen appliance store in a 400 square foot retail space. Founders Ryan and Stefan used community and experiential events to build the brand and create an atmosphere that was both country sweet and city smart. Warm wood tones contrasting with stark white walls dominated the retail space. A curated assortment of only the best of the best appliances and accessories was showcased.
Using creative designs and expertise in appliances and outdoor cooking techniques, Urban Bonfire quickly became known as the experts in outdoor kitchen design in North America. Its designers were sought after by the likes of Charbroil, for whom Urban Bonfire’s design team envisioned the entire outdoor cooking pavilion in their new offices in Georgia.
Before long, 400 square feet turned into 4,000 and then 10,000 and the rest is history.
L'évolution
Your Kitchen Outdoors
Being at the forefront of the evolution of the outdoor kitchen is deep inside Urban Bonfire's DNA. Like many other rooms in the house, the outdoor kitchen space is in constant evolution.
Our in-house team of Kitchen and Industrial Designers work closely with Interior and Architectural designers to see where the most value can be added to their designs. With these conceptual ideas in hand, our team of experienced engineers, machine operators and artisans are constantly testing, improving or prototyping new processes, products and services.
