Minimal, Monolithic, Timeless: Why KATLA Feels like Architecture, not an Accessory
High‑end outdoor spaces in Europe are moving beyond seasonal décor toward quiet architecture—pieces that stay beautiful in January as well as in June. The SUNJOY KATLA classic fire bowl embodies that idea. With a 67 cm diameter stone‑effect surround and a deep, powder‑coated steel bowl, KATLA reads like a minimal courtyard element rather than a temporary accessory. A mesh spark screen with a top handle, an internal steel grate that boosts airflow, and integrated ventilation at the base turn clean lines into cleaner burns. Portable side handles and a fire poker are included for easy tending.
Architectural presence, scaled for EU terraces
KATLA’s proportions are monolithic but not imposing: Ø67 cm across and 46 cm tall means it centers a compact lounge without overwhelming sightlines. The stone‑look ring delivers the calm of masonry while the steel bowl inside keeps performance precise and predictable. The effect is quietly sculptural—equally at home next to a louvered pergola, a small urban deck, or a gravel court in a modern garden.
Materials & engineering that matter
The bowl is powder‑coated steel; the surround uses a stone/“clay” composite that keeps the overall weight to about 13 kg—stable to the touch yet easy enough to reposition when layouts change. The mesh screen captures stray embers and the steel grate improves oxygen flow for a hotter, more even burn. Finished in a natural brown/grey palette, KATLA pairs with timber, concrete and metal furniture without visual noise.

Daily rituals & seasonal hosting
Weeknights: a small hardwood fire, screen closed, wine breathing nearby—the chimney‑free bowl still draws well thanks to its internal grate. Weekends: set up a low lounge around the bowl; with the deep profile, heat reaches knees and shins even in shoulder seasons. Seasonal highlights—St. Martin, Advent, New Year’s Eve—benefit from the contained flame and from wood kept clean and dry before use.
Placement & care for European settings
Place the bowl on a level, non‑combustible base (pavers/concrete/gravel). Burn dry, untreated hardwood; avoid strong winds; and respect local by‑laws on open flames. Let ash cool completely before disposal. For convenience, SUNJOY offers free delivery, arrival in about 5 working days, and 30‑day free returns within the EU.
