Lisa has spent over a decade working in design, with a focus on creating spaces that feel both functional and inviting. For the past five years, she has built and grown Nuri Fire, to develop high-quality boutique bioethanol fireplaces designed for modern living. She specifically designs each piece from it’s initial conception, to CAD drawings, to manufacturing.
Her interest in fire started long before the business, something of a lifelong fascination. That early curiousity has evolved into a passion for creating fire features that are not only beautiful, but practical, safe and designed to enhance everyday spaces. Those who are close to her, know her as the Firepit Lady, or Pyro Lady.
Lisa ensures every product balances design, performance and value, bringing premium sleek, and modern fire features within reach. With more people moving towards smaller living spaces, Lisa focuses on designing compact fire features that suit modern homes small or large.
Her pieces are warmer than you think, so Lisa has grown purely via word of mouth alone. Nuri has grown throughout Gold Coast, Brisbane, Noosa and Sunshine Coast. Her orders are now reaching Australia wide, showing the power of word of mouth.
No wonder, her simplistic taste, and design show through her pieces.
At Nuri, our name reflects a deep connection to heritage and tradition, as well as our Aboriginal, Irish, and English background. My English grandmother fell in love with an Aboriginal man.
“Nuri,” which means “fire” in the Wiradjuri language, embodies the warmth, light, and unity that our firepits bring to your space. We chose this name to honour our background and celebrate the vibrant culture that inspires our designs.
Nuri Meaning
Light: In certain contexts, “Nuri” can mean light or brightness, which relates to fire or illumination.
Sun: Refer to the sun or sunlight in broader Aboriginal languages, symbolising warmth and energy.
Our story is deeply intertwined with the Wiradjuri people, whose ancestral lands span across New South Wales. Tullibigeal, a significant part of this region, is where our family’s journey began. Lisa grandfather was born in this area, this is their picture.
This connection to our land and history informs every aspect of our business, from the thoughtful craftsmanship of our firepits to our commitment to sustainability and quality.
At Nuri, we are proud to blend modern elegance with cultural respect, creating products that not only enhance your environment but also focus on natural elements such as lava rocks, concrete, stainless steel and metal.
