Short Base

The Pique Short Base is a sleek, low-profile platform designed to support the Pique Ascent in custom tabletop installations. Engineered for versatility, it gives you the freedom to create a premium, tailored outdoor space.

Crafted from the same premium, weather-resistant materials as the Ascent, the Short Base replaces the standard 335 mm base with a compact 110 mm foundation — keeping the firebox opening at the ideal height for tabletop integration. Its clean lines and minimalist form allow the flame to remain the hero, seamlessly complementing both modern and rustic design styles.

Tabletop Design Tips

Planning a tabletop installation that looks great and functions well? Here are a couple of things to consider:

Higher isn’t always better.
While lifting the firebox (900 mm+ to the bottom of the opening) is great for cooking, it reduces the heat felt when seated around the fire. Even though the flame sits at eye level, the warmth drops noticeably for those sitting nearby.

For social outdoor spaces
If your goal is relaxed seating and time spent sitting around the fire, we recommend a custom built base height of 400m to 600mm, giving a firebox height of 500–700 mm to the bottom of the firebox opening. This range provides the best balance of visibility, ambience, and radiant heat.
