Traytier Fire Pillar – Custom
The Traytier Fire Pillar is defined by a vertical stack of offset horizontal tiers that wrap around a central core, creating depth, rhythm, and shadow from every angle. The layered geometry builds outward in a controlled progression, giving the piece a structured yet organic presence. As flame rises through the center, light interacts with each tier, reinforcing the composition and adding dimension throughout the form.
Traytier works as a freestanding sculptural element that introduces height and architectural layering without feeling heavy or enclosed. Its open transitions between tiers allow the flame to remain visible while the structure creates a strong, grounded focal point suited for modern outdoor environments.
Key Features
• Layered tiered design that creates depth, rhythm, and shadow
• Open vertical composition that keeps the flame visible and central
• Balanced proportion for a strong, architectural presence
• Powder coated metal construction using steel or aluminum as required by scale and environment
• High quality burner systems with precision jet technology
• Burner options available in stainless steel or solid brass
• Natural gas or propane compatible
• CSA certified burner systems
• UL compliant ignition options including switch, Bluetooth, or WiFi

Powder Coating
Modofire finishes use premium exterior powder coating for long-term durability and color stability.
Texture
Fine sand texture with low sheen that reduces glare and helps hide fingerprints and wear.
Metallic
Smooth finish with fine metallic flake that adds subtle reflectivity and depth without high gloss.
Vein Texture
Two-tone finish with natural veining that adds movement while disguising dust and weathering.
Stone Texture
Mineral-textured coating that replicates the look and feel of natural stone.
Artisan Patina
Hand-finished layers applied over powder coat. Each piece has natural variation with a flat-to-satin sheen.
Powder Coating Care
Clean occasionally with mild soap and water using a soft cloth or sponge, then rinse well.
Avoid abrasive pads, steel wool, solvents, bleach, acidic cleaners, and close-range pressure washing.
In coastal or dusty environments, clean more often to remove salt and buildup.
Minor marks are cosmetic, and textured finishes naturally help conceal wear. Patina finishes should be cleaned gently with soap and water only.
