The birthday night
The table everyone stays at
Light it at the end of the table and nobody reaches for a jacket. Dinner turns into dessert, and dessert into another hour outside.
The birthday gift · Planika Faro
Give them a real fire for the patio — a slim glass tower with a 360° flame they’ll light every evening, not once. No installation. Ready the night it arrives.
Why it works when nothing else does
“I don’t need anything” usually means “I don’t need more stuff.” The Faro isn’t stuff. It’s the reason to step outside after dinner — and it changes how their patio feels the very first night.
A flame you light on an ordinary Tuesday. Not a gadget that ends up in a drawer by spring.
No gas line, no installer, no permit. Casters and glass go on in about 10 minutes; a standard 20 lb grill tank hides inside the base.
Matte black steel and a glass tower, designed and made in Poland by Planika. It reads as design, not equipment.
A gift that outlasts the party
Most birthday gifts have one great moment. This one has the birthday night — and then every evening after it.

The birthday night
Light it at the end of the table and nobody reaches for a jacket. Dinner turns into dessert, and dessert into another hour outside.

A random weeknight
One turn of the knob and the patio becomes the place to end the day — a real flame, warm on your face from a few feet away.

Every season after
It stretches patio season at both ends. And because it rolls, it follows them from the pool to the dining table to the front porch.
What you’re actually giving
14.2″ square and 58.9″ tall — about chest height. Small enough for a balcony corner, striking enough to anchor a whole backyard.
A living gas flame over lava stones, visible from every seat through four tempered-glass wind shields.
Up to 27,300 BTU, adjustable down to 17,100. You feel it roughly 2–4 ft away — made for the people sitting around it.
A standard 20 lb grill tank hides inside the base. About 18 hours at full flame, up to about 45 hours on low.
No gas line, no flue, no contractor. Piezo ignition — no batteries, no electronics to fail.
Four locking casters and 44 lb — one person can move it from the pool to the table.
Powder-coated galvanized steel and tempered glass. Designed and made in Poland, EU.





Ready to give
Gift tip: the propane tank isn’t included. Pick up a standard 20 lb grill tank (any hardware store or gas station) and they can light it the same night.
Put the price in perspective
Lit just two evenings a week, the Faro works out to about $4.50 an evening in its first year — and it keeps going.
Dinner out is over in two hours. A sweater is in the closet by March. This is the gift they see from the kitchen window every night — and think of you.
Giving two? Buy 2 Planika heaters and save $46.90 — applied automatically“Great outdoor fireplace. It provides warmth and looks very classy.”
“Great product. It gives off strong heat, and the build quality is excellent.”
“Very good build quality. On our covered patio with open sides, the heat feels limited, but the flame is beautiful. Overall, we’re happy with it.”

No. It’s freestanding: attach the four casters and the glass wind shields (about 10 minutes), connect a 20 lb propane tank with the included regulator and hose, and light it with the built-in piezo igniter. No gas line, no flue, no contractor.
A standard 20 lb (5-gallon) tank — the same one used for a gas grill — available at any hardware store or gas station. It stores out of sight inside the base. The tank isn’t included, so grab one with the gift.
It puts out up to 27,300 BTU and you feel the warmth roughly 2–4 ft from the unit. It’s designed ambience-first: perfect beside a lounge corner, at the end of a dining table or at the entrance, where people sit close by. It isn’t meant to heat a wide open lawn.
Yes, if it’s partially covered with good airflow — for example a pergola or a porch open on several sides. Never indoors, in a garage or in any fully enclosed space.
Unused items in the original packaging can be returned within the window in our refund policy, which lists the exact terms. Every Faro also carries a 2-year limited warranty from delivery, handled directly by our US team — nobody has to contact the factory in Poland.
This year’s birthday
The one who doesn’t want anything will be lighting it again tomorrow night.
