Foku

Il braciere barbecue evoluto in pietra lavica dell’Etna

Lava stone, fire and outdoor kitchen

Foku 's evolved line
Foku is a line of outdoor systems made from Etna lava stone, designed for cooking, enjoying the fire, and furnishing outdoor spaces. From the advanced barbecue to the oven, from the countertops to the accessories, each element works together to create a complete outdoor kitchen: stone cooking, a central grill, a brazier function, and Italian conviviality.

Food isn't just nourishment: cooking means transforming nature into culture. An article inspired by Massimo Montanari on fire, stone, and Italian conviviality.

Cooking isn't just about preparing food: it's one of the gestures that has transformed human history. From controlling fire to cooking on stone, cooking speaks to our most ancient relationship with warmth, matter, and conviviality.

Central grill, lava stone and live fire work together: direct cooking, cooking on the stone and outdoor conviviality.

Foku was born from the culture of stone
Dalla scultura al restauro, dal marmo alla pietra lavica dell’Etna, il lavoro di Nicola Dell’Erba attraversa da anni la materia, la forma e il fuoco. Con Foku, questa esperienza diventa cucina outdoor: un braciere barbecue in pietra lavica progettato per cucinare, arredare e creare convivialità attorno al fuoco.
