Fireplaces are a sort of single-season element in most cases, turned on in the winter and left empty the rest of the year – but what if the same illuminating space could be put to other uses?

Jean-Marie Massaud proposes Seasons, a table with a void that can be filled with anything from stones or fish to fire or flowers, allowing you to add greenery during the summer then turn up the heat toward the end of fall … or put something else in the middle that you wish to feature at any time of year.

The fully-transparent design allows whatever is placed in the center to have maximum visibility, whether it be dynamic fire, living fish, growing greens, stoic stones or anything in between.
