Cyclone lounger
The Cyclone rollercoaster is one of Coney Island’s oldest functioning rides, and the New York icon is the inspiration (and material) for Uhuru’s Cyclone lounger. It’s crafted from reclaimed wood from the demolished boardwalk—the weathered ipe wood was first installed in the 1940s. The lounger was added to the permanent collection of the Smithsonian American Art Museum in 2012.

Toluca Fire Table
Perfect for staying warm on chilly evenings as the sun sets, these sculptural fire tables are crafted from hand-packed concrete and make an architectural statement. Part of RH Outdoor’s latest collection, the fire tables are heat resistant to the touch and the multi-step hand-finishing process captures the texture and color of natural travertine limestone, meaning no two tables are alike.
Available in linear (pictured) or cube. $7,795, available from rh.com

Gaucho Wood-Fired Grill
Inspired by traditional Argentinian wood-fired grilling and paired with modern conveniences, the Gaucho is as technically sound as it is stylish. The 30in wheel smoothly raises and lowers the grill grates and rotisserie, allowing you to control heat by adjusting the proximity of food to the flame. Customize your grill by including your initials or family name.
