Most of our most cherished items aren’t new, shiny or in pristine condition. Rather, their value comes from the experiences, people or places they represent. When something becomes worn, loved and well-used, its importance inherently increases in sentimental value.


The Japanese concept of wabi-sabi has many interpretations but is grounded in an appreciation of imperfection. “Wabi” originally translated to reference the loneliness found in nature but evolved to mean a recognition of the beauty seen in simplicity. The word “sabi” refers to finding beauty in old age and the serenity that comes with time. The aesthetic is most apparent in mismatched combinations of old and new and an acceptance of flaws.

Exceptional quality is a core principle of Snow Peak design, and few products epitomise it more than the Takibi Fire Pit. Fresh from the package, the fireplace glimmers with a reflective shine but with each use, the metal develops a patina, often with iridescent colour variations. There’s a special aurora to a well-used Takibi Fire Pit, especially when you consider the memories and experiences represented in each mark. Fires tend to be the centre of outdoor gatherings and have a special way of reconnecting us to nature and one another. No two fireplaces look the same over time, but their performance and functionality remain unchanged.


The Snow Peak Takibi Fire Pit is an outdoor heirloom, made to withstand a lifetime of use and then passed on, to continue a tradition of connecting with others around the flames in nature.
