Walking Man Chiminea
New York, New York
Functional Sculpture for fire
Design, Engineer, Fabrication
Inspired by the shapes found in Japanese origami and the explosive energy of Futurist and Cubist work, Joe returned to his roots as a fine arts sculptor to create a chiminea that is both functional and sculptural.
The Walking Man, as titled, resembles a dynamic shape in motion when viewed from a distance. It is 3-sided and designed with hinged panels that open and close, allowing for the directional control of smoke.
In the same primal way that fire beckoned the caveman, the Walking Man draws people to it and offers a warm and interactive place for gatherings and conversation.
The Walking Man is available in either Corten or stainless steel and tailors to every environment. The Corten steel appears more rustic and takes on a beautiful patina over time, while the stainless radiates a majestic elegance. Each offers unique details that complement the chosen material.
The Walking Man is available as a limited edition series and signed by Joe.
