Revolutionizing Outdoor Leisure: The Horizontal Long Mesh Bonfire Stand

Shigeru Yamada's Innovative Design Wins Silver A' Award

The outdoor lifestyle has seen a resurgence in recent years, with a focus on compact and efficient gear. Amidst this trend, the Horizontal Long Mesh stands out as a beacon of innovation. This bonfire stand, conceived by the creative minds of Shigeru Yamada and his team, addresses the common pitfalls of traditional fire pits—susceptibility to wind and cooking difficulties. The product's unique concave mesh structure, which hooks onto side frames, is not only a patented design but also a testament to Yamada's commitment to functionality and aesthetics.

Unlike conventional mesh fire pits, the Horizontal Long Mesh boasts a robust stainless steel frame that can be assembled in under 30 seconds. This design choice not only ensures durability and ease of use but also enhances combustion efficiency, even in challenging windy conditions. The mesh's weave permits air flow while preventing ash from escaping, ensuring a clean and efficient burn. The stand's adaptability extends to cooking, allowing for the attachment of a stove for a seamless outdoor culinary experience.

Size and portability are also key features of the Horizontal Long Mesh, with its compact storage dimensions making it an ideal companion for modern campers. When assembled, the stand measures 53cm in width, 18cm in depth, and 32cm in height, striking a balance between functionality and portability. The use of stainless steel (SUS304) for the main body, sidebars, legs, and mesh sheet, along with aluminum dovetails, ensures longevity and resistance to the elements.

Shigeru Yamada's creation is not only a practical solution for outdoor enthusiasts but also a work of art. At night, the flames dance through the mesh, creating a mesmerizing visual spectacle as the wood transforms into ash. This product is a testament to the ironworker's dual expertise as a craftsman and a camper, bringing together the best of both worlds.

The Horizontal Long Mesh has been recognized for its excellence with a Silver A' Design Award in the Camping Gear and Outdoor Equipment Design category for 2024. This accolade is a nod to the product's superior design and the positive impact it has on outdoor leisure. The award highlights designs that evoke amazement and wonder, and the Horizontal Long Mesh does just that, enhancing the outdoor experience with its blend of practicality and beauty.

Launched in Japan on September 1, 2021, the Horizontal Long Mesh is a shining example of how design can elevate lifestyle. It is a product that not only meets the needs of the modern camper but also contributes to the sustainable enjoyment of nature. With its innovative design and award-winning recognition, the Horizontal Long Mesh is set to become a staple in the world of outdoor leisure.
