| Elena ColumboElena Colombo is a classically trained sculptor and architectural designer, who owns and operates Colombo Construction Corporation, a full service conceptual design and fabrication firm specializing in site specific, large scale works: fire, water and wind features, memorials, markers, environmental art, and sculpture.
Colombo's design work has appeared in Architectural Record, The New York Times, Interiors, British Elle Décor, InStyle Home, Vogue Living, Garden Design, Flair, Country Home, Country Living, Robb Report, Mademoiselle, and Glamour magazines, and several recently published books: Waterside Living, Ancient and Modern, On Display, and Outdoor Spaces.
Colombo works directly with clients and architectural firms to create works that extend the realm of architecture further into the landscape. Colombo creates forms that are simple, elegant and ancient which address our primal need for the elements earth, fire, water and wind. She uses bronze, steel, stone, concrete and bone.
Colombo is currently manufacturing a series of interior and exterior fire features for public and private clients. The first in the series are the outsized outdoor firebowls. The six-foot diameter Cor-Ten steel bowls are fitted with a 300,000 BTU burner, a connection for propane or natural gas, and a manual pilot ignition system for safe and controlled ignition.
Among Colombo's early clients are hotelier Andre Balazs, who commissioned firebowls for the cocktail terrace at Sunset Beach, his Shelter Island hotel, for his private residence in New York, and for the new Raleigh and Lido Hotels in Miami Beach; Lisa Marie Presley; Anne Rice; and the landmark Hotel Roosevelt in Hollywood has installed 10 firebowls around the pool.
Colombo's Firebowl has been nominated as 'Best Outdoor Product' by the 2004 Design and Decoration Awards.
