About YRON
YRON is a product manufacturer from Darmstadt that develops, manufactures and distributes a garden grill made of cast iron. The cast iron grill bowl is cast by hand into its own sand mould, which is then destroyed; as a result, every grill is a one-of-a-kind piece with individual characteristics. The legs are made of turned oak wood, which is machined in the company's own wood-turning workshop. The design is done computer-aided in combination with handcraft production. The founders and designers are the Darmstadt-based designers Frank Person and Daniel B. Lechowski. The grill is distributed in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, with free shipping within Germany. The grill can also be used as a fire bowl.
