Elementi not only stands for design and quality, but also for
responsible action.
Sustainability is an integral part of the brand strategy – from the choice of materials
to global logistics. At the same time, Elementi is looking to the future,
to open up new product worlds and continuously expand its production capacities.

Durable materials for less resource consumption

Elementi fireplaces and concrete furniture are made from particularly
resistant materials such as GFRC concrete, natural stone or
temperature-resistant special cement.
Thanks to this quality, the products remain stable and attractive for many years,
thereby conserving resources and reducing waste.

Efficient supply chains

A global distribution network with locations in the USA, Europe and Asia
enables shorter delivery routes and lower transportation costs.
Less logistics effort not only means faster deliveries,
but also a smaller ecological footprint.

Expanding production for the future

In the coming years, Elementi plans to increase its production capacity from the current
30,000-40,000 to 50,000-60,000 GFRC products per year.
This expansion goes hand in hand with investments in new technologies, stricter
quality controls and even more efficient production.

New product categories

In addition to the established fireplaces and concrete furniture, Elementi is working on expanding the range at
.
The plans include

  • Outdoor kitchens – for a complete outdoor living experience.
  • Bathroom furniture – high-quality solutions for indoor and outdoor areas.

These expansions demonstrate the company’s ambition to set new trends in the outdoor sector
and to establish Elementi as a holistic lifestyle brand.

Conclusion

With durable materials, a global distribution system and clear plans
for increasing production, Elementi is well prepared for the future.
New product categories such as outdoor kitchens and bathroom furniture will expand the portfolio
and further strengthen Elementi’s position as a trendsetter for outdoor fireplaces and furniture
.

Beauty is the foundation of everything

For Elementi, beauty is not a superficial detail, but the starting point for every product.

.
This results in products that fit seamlessly into modern outdoor landscapes and at the same time

experience of aesthetics, comfort and lifestyle.

With the guiding principle “Beauty is the foundation of everything”, Elementi
has established itself as a brand that creates products that are both practical and aesthetically
groundbreaking.

Safety and quality are top priorities at Elementi. To ensure that every fireplace
not only looks good, but also functions reliably in daily use,
undergoes a total of 12 quality tests during the production process.
From material selection to final inspection, every step is carefully monitored.

The 12 quality checks at a glance

Every component is checked several times during the manufacturing process. This ensures that only flawless products leave the factory:

  • Incoming material inspection – only inspected raw materials reach the warehouse.
  • Body shaping & surface inspection – no cracks or defects in the concrete.
  • Heat resistance test – patented special cement withstands high temperatures.
  • Intermediate inspection in the semi-finished product warehouse – early quality control.
  • Installation of the burner system – precise processing of 304 stainless steel.
  • Leak test – no gas leaks, absolute safety.
  • Function test of the flame effect – uniform, stable flame pattern.
  • Safety check of the ignition – double ignition needle for reliable start-up.
  • Automatic switch-off function – protection against unintentional gas leakage.
  • Final inspection in the finished goods warehouse – only inspected products go on to the next stage.
  • Random checks before dispatch – additional security for customers.
  • Traceability & root cause analysis – every product is documented.

CE and CSA certification

Elementi fireplaces comply with the European CE directives and the North American
CSA standards. These certifications confirm that the products meet the highest requirements
in terms of safety, environmental compatibility and energy efficiency.

The 304 stainless steel burner system

The heart of every fireplace is the burner system. Elementi only uses
304 stainless steel, a material that is corrosion-resistant and extremely durable.
The design ensures an optimum flame shape and a heat output of up to 16 kW.
This creates an even flame pattern that is both atmospheric and efficient.

Intelligent security systems

In addition to material and quality control, technical safety plays a central role:

  • Double ignition needle – for reliable ignition at the first attempt.
  • Automatic safety cut-out – the gas supply is stopped immediately in the event of a flame failure.
  • Manual check – all systems are checked by technicians before delivery.

Conclusion

The combination of 12 comprehensive tests, internationally recognized certifications
and innovative safety systems makes Elementi fireplaces a safe choice
for gardens, patios and restaurants. Customers can rely on this:
Quality and safety are guaranteed with Elementi.

Elementi ‘s strength lies not only in its design, but above all in the
materials and innovative processes used. This results in fireplaces and concrete furniture that are both visually impressive
and last for decades. We present the most important innovations below.

GFRC concrete at the heart

Elementi has been using GFRC concrete (glass fiber reinforced concrete) for years. This material
combines lightness with high stability and makes the products particularly resistant to
everyday wear and tear. For customers, this means easy handling and durable outdoor products.

Technological innovations at a glance

  • Patented cement: Specially developed heat-resistant cement that does not crack even at extreme temperatures.
  • 3D high-pressure injection molding: A technology that almost doubles the strength and creates smooth, robust surfaces.
  • Weather resistance: Even at -40 °C in northern European winters, the structure remains stable and unchanged.

More than just concrete

In addition to GFRC concrete, Elementi integrates other materials into its collections. Natural stone, porcelain
and metal
complement the designs and open up new creative possibilities. This results in
furniture and fireplaces that are not only functional, but also create architectural highlights in the garden
or on the patio.

Practical example

An Elementi fireplace can serve as a central design piece in the outdoor area: robust thanks to GFRC concrete,
elegant thanks to natural stone elements and durable thanks to weatherproof processing. Each product thus becomes a
statement for modern outdoor living.

Conclusion: With innovative materials and patented processes, Elementi is setting new standards in
outdoor design. Anyone looking for a fireplace that is both technically impressive and visually appealing will find the perfect solution at
.

The Elementi brand was founded in Los Angeles, USA, in 2015. From the very beginning, the vision was to combine art, craftsmanship and the aesthetics of outdoor living. With a team of artists, engineers and
craftsmen, a collection of fire pits and concrete furniture was created that combines modern design and functionality.

The foundation in Los Angeles

In the early days, Elementi developed its first gas fireplaces and concrete furniture, which quickly attracted a lot of attention on the US market
. The location in Los Angeles not only offered creative inspiration, but also access to an international network of designers and partners. Even then it was clear: Elementi should not only manufacture products, but also create a lifestyle.

The vision of the brand

Since its foundation, Elementi has pursued a clear guiding principle: “Beauty is the foundation of everything”.
This means that every product must be both aesthetically pleasing and technically reliable.
This philosophy shapes the entire development process – from the choice of materials and the burner system to the finished
fireplaces and furniture.

Expansion into Europe

With growing international demand, OCEAN ROCK EU GmbH was founded in Germany in 2022.
Today, it is responsible for sales, logistics and marketing in the European market.
Thanks to local warehousing and a network of specialist retailers and online stores, customers throughout Europe can be supplied faster
and more efficiently.

Elementi as an international brand

Today, Elementi is represented in North America, Europe, Australia and the Middle East.
While the US market continues to account for around two thirds of sales, Europe is becoming increasingly important and
is developing into a strong pillar of the brand. With its dual focus on the USA and Europe, Elementi
is ideally positioned to further expand design, quality and innovation worldwide.

Conclusion

From its beginnings in Los Angeles to the founding of OCEAN ROCK EU GmbH, the history of Elementi is an example of
successful internationalization. With a clear vision, high-quality materials and a strong team,
Elementi creates products that are not only functional, but also a statement for modern outdoor living.
