Gas FireBalls
The flame, reconsidered.
For generations, fire meant timber. Rasmussen FireBalls offer a quieter proposition: refractory ceramic spheres, hand-finished and precisely placed, through which the flame moves as freely as light through glass. Fire becomes a sculptural element, composed rather than merely contained.
Three Distinct Collections
A modern approach to the traditional hearth, FireBalls bring clean lines and sculptural form to the fireplace, with flame that rises through and around every sphere. Offered in a variety of sizes and colors, every set can be tailored to the fireplace and the room around it.
Each FireBall is cast from ceramic-bonded refractory concrete and finished with a ceramic stain that absorbs into the material, creating subtle variations in tone and depth. Rather than masking the material’s character, the finish draws it out, so no two sets are quite alike. Because the stain becomes part of the surface rather than sitting on it, the color holds through years of fire.

-
An exercise in order. Identical spheres rise in a measured pyramid, with every interval considered. This is the most architectural expression in the collection, offered from 18" to 60" and in wide configurations for deeper fireboxes.
-
Spheres of varying scale, gathered with the apparent ease of stones shaped by water. The composition feels found rather than designed, which is precisely the point.
-
Scale as statement. Spheres of six and seven inches in diameter, set across a linear burner, lend the firebox a monumental calm. They are equally commanding in single-sided and see-through installations.
-
The precision of the Alterna arrangement, engineered for vent-free systems. It is a 30" composition in single- or double-sided form, for spaces where a chimney was never part of the plan.

Seven Color Variations
Every sphere is finished by hand with a translucent ceramic stain that penetrates rather than coats. The result is a subtle, natural variation from piece to piece, and a color that endures for the life of the fire.

Please Note: The appearance of the FireBall's will change significantly in as little as one burn. Carbon buildup or "sooting" occurs with all gas burners, but can appear more significant on the lighter color options of the FireBall Refractory Ceramic Set. Color options other than natural are custom made and not returnable.
