warming new zealand homes since 1974
A Legacy of Craftsmanship
Firenzo is a proudly New Zealand-owned and family-run woodfire business with a heritage that began in 1974. Founded by Peter Hewitson, the business was built on a simple belief — that a great woodfire should do more than look good. It should heat efficiently, last for decades, and feel like the heart of the home.
From our base in Napier, we’ve spent over four decades refining the art of woodfire design, combining proven engineering with hands-on craftsmanship.
Hand-Assembled. Built Here. Trusted Nationwide.
Every Firenzo woodfire is hand-assembled in New Zealand by our skilled team. From welding and lining the firebox to final quality checks, each fire is carefully built to meet our high standards before it leaves the factory.
Today, Firenzo woodfires heat homes across Hawke’s Bay, Bay of Plenty, Auckland, Wellington, and beyond, trusted by homeowners who value performance and longevity.
