FJARVIK live-fire plancha cookers — more than a fire grill.
Fire brings us together.
FJARVIK leads Apollo's dedicated Live-Fire Cookers section, combining live flame, a broad circular cooking surface and sculptural steel into one remarkable centrepiece for food, conversation and long evenings outdoors.
Inspired by the landscapes and atmosphere of the north, FJARVIK is made for the moments when fire, food, people and place come together.
FJARVIK · direct answers
What project teams need to know about FJARVIK live-fire plancha cookers.
Which FJARVIK size suits the project?
The current range runs through 1000, 1200, 1500, 1700 and 2000 mm pathways. Selection should consider simultaneous cooking area, guest numbers, circulation, service style and how visually prominent the live-fire station should be in the space.
Can FJARVIK be used for hospitality as well as homes?
Yes. The smaller pathways suit private entertaining, while larger configurations can be considered for lodges, restaurants, resorts, events and destination hospitality. Final selection remains project-specific.
What information should Apollo receive for a FJARVIK quote?
Provide the project type and destination, approximate available area, expected number of users or hospitality service model, access conditions, site photographs or drawings and any known fire-clearance or operating constraints.
Who is responsible for installation and fire compliance?
Apollo is supply-only. Base preparation, positioning, fire clearances, local fire rules, installation and any hospitality or statutory compliance remain with the appropriate local project team unless expressly included in the written scope.
The story
Fires of the North
Long before there were kitchens, dining rooms or terraces, there was fire.
People gathered around it for warmth. They cooked over it. They told stories beside it. They stayed a little longer because of it.
That simple idea sits at the heart of FJARVIK.
Inspired by the landscapes and atmosphere of the north — deep water, rock, timber, changing skies and long evenings around an open flame — FJARVIK reimagines live-fire cooking as something architectural, social and enduring.
This is not simply somewhere to cook.
It is somewhere to gather.
The cooking experience
Cook around the flame.
At the centre is the fire. Around it, the substantial circular carbon-steel cooking plate creates a changing landscape of heat.
Food closer to the centre can experience more intense heat for searing and browning. Move outward and the temperature becomes progressively gentler, creating space for roasting, finishing and holding.
Steaks can sear while vegetables roast. Seafood can cook alongside bread. Breakfast, burgers, skewers and shared plates can all find their place around the fire.
A working heat landscape — not one cooking temperature.
FJARVIK Heat Landscape
Move the food. Work the fire.
The central fire establishes the coal bed and visual theatre. Work closer to the centre for stronger searing and browning, then move outward for gentler finishing, roasting and holding.
Elemental by design
Fire. Steel. Wood. Food.
FJARVIK is built around honest materials, purposeful geometry and the simple idea that cooking and gathering belong together.
Live-Fire Cooking
A real central wood fire creates heat, atmosphere and visual theatre while the surrounding plate becomes the cooking surface.
Circular Heat Zones
Use position around the fire to move between stronger searing heat and gentler finishing or holding zones.
10 mm Carbon-Steel Cooktop
A substantial steel plate designed to hold heat and provide a broad working surface for varied cooking.
4 mm Corten-Steel Base
Architectural weathering steel gives FJARVIK its substantial form and distinctive material character.
Built for Gathering
The circular layout keeps cooking and conversation together rather than separating the cook from the group.
Residential to Hospitality Scale
Five size pathways take FJARVIK from premium private outdoor spaces through to restaurants, resorts and destination hospitality.
Northern inspiration
Inspired by a wilder outdoors.
FJARVIK draws its visual character from northern landscapes — water, mountains, rock, forest, timber and changing weather.
Not through ornament. Through restraint. Strong forms. Natural materials. Warm fire against cool air. Spaces designed around people rather than objects.
The result is a Nordic-inspired live-fire collection suited to contemporary homes, lodges, resorts, restaurants, hospitality terraces and destination outdoor spaces around the world.
Create the fire. Cook the food. Bring people together.The FJARVIK Ritual
From first flame to late evening.
The ritual is deliberately simple: establish the fire, bring the steel to life, cook around the flame, share the food and let the evening continue.
Build the fire
Start with dry, clean cooking firewood and allow the flame to establish naturally.
Heat the steel
Give the circular cooking plate time to develop its working temperature and heat gradient.
Cook around the flame
Sear closer to the fire. Roast and finish farther out. Move ingredients as the food and fire evolve.
Share as you cook
Cook in stages. Pass plates. Try different foods. Let dinner become part of the conversation.
Let the evening continue
When the cooking slows, the fire remains.
When dinner ends, keep the fire.
