Production Technology: The oven is made out of technical ceramic and the "Gratino"-Bowls out of porcelain. The cutlery is out of metall and is slightly flexible to be clicked in the hot bowl after cooking for easy handling without burning hands. All textiles are made non flammable in the colours dark grey and orange.

"Firo" is not in production yet. It is a working concept and prototype and I am searching for a company that produces and markets it on license.
Design Challenge: Actually it is too hot to cook in fire. The material needs a good relation between heat conductivity and isolation, has to resist hot temperature without loosing its shape, is food compliant and as lightweighted as possible. The food should stay in the bowls even in slanting position. That's why I hung the bowls revolvable in the middle of the oven on a rail. So they can stay even inside while carrying or storing. The rail allows to open and close the oven like a drawer and helps to pull out the bowls in a fire free area. The right calculation for oven length and bowl sizes was important to get a light weighted transportable set.
Research: The leading aspect was the safety for the user and the food, to find a solution to keep the pots filled with food in upright position while cooking and to get them out again of the hot oven. I did a lot of material research for high temperature. I wanted to make everything as lightweighted and multifunctional as possible: The cutlery is fork, spoon and removal tool. The porcelain vessels are cooking and eating pots. The oven is for cooking and carriage cover for pots. The accessories bag is seat pad and storage. The heatproof jacket enable to hold the hot pot in the hand, so no table is required.
Inspiration: In times of industrialisation and digitalisation people are longing for their roots and simplicity. There is the modern kitchen on the one hand, and the summer phenomen of barbeque on the other. Also electrical light next to candles, gas heating next to fire place or fire bowl. Fire is since 2 Mio years the center of life. But still there is no way to cook safely with real open fire. Either you have to get very close to the flames or you just use the burning ash to prepare your food. A change was needed.
Project Duration: The project started in April 2005 and was finished in July 2006 in Halle (Saale)/Germany. It was first published in Leipzig/Germany at Designers' Open and won the first price "Designers' Open Award".
Operation Flow: "Firo" will be halfway placed in open fire. The handy "Gratino"-pots will be filled with food and put in the oven. Possible are four "Gratino's" at the same time for soup, gratin, ragout, dessert. The oven remains in the fire and will be handled like a drawer - open and close. Once the food is cooked, the multifunctional cutlery (fork and spoon) is clicked in the deepening of the pot and carried out in an isolating bag for eating.
