Patio Productions has acquired Starfire Direct, expanding their outdoor furniture portfolio to include premium fire pits and tables. This April 2025 acquisition combines two California companies to offer complete luxury outdoor living solutions at accessible prices.

San Diego, California, United States, 16th May 2025 – Patio Productions, a premier California-based outdoor furniture manufacturer and retailer, today announced its acquisition of StarfireDirect.com, a leading provider of premium fire pits, fireplaces, and outdoor living accessories. The strategic acquisition, completed in April 2025, significantly expands Patio Productions’ product portfolio and reinforces its commitment to offering comprehensive outdoor living solutions.

Since its founding in 2006, Patio Productions has built a reputation for sourcing and designing high-quality outdoor furniture at accessible price points. The addition of Starfire Direct’s extensive catalog of fire features creates a natural synergy that will benefit customers seeking complete outdoor living environments.

“I’m excited about what Starfire Direct will bring to our customers. It’s a natural fit. Their team, their passion for outdoor design, and their product lines are a great complement to our own vision and mission,” said Ben Harvey, Founder of Patio Productions. “I can’t wait to see how this partnership allows us to serve more neighbors as they create beautiful outdoor living spaces.”

The acquisition brings together two companies with parallel growth trajectories and complementary expertise. Patio Productions has evolved from a dedicated retailer to a manufacturer with its own showroom in San Diego, while Starfire Direct has transformed from a small fire glass operation in 2007 to a nationally recognized brand in the outdoor fire feature market. Notably, Starfire Direct has earned a place on the Inc 5000 list of fastest-growing companies for five consecutive years.

Based in Temecula, California, Starfire Direct has established itself as an innovator in the outdoor fire pit and fire table market since expanding into this niche in 2009. Their elegant, innovative solutions have attracted both private and commercial clients across the United States, creating memorable outdoor experiences through thoughtfully designed fire features.

The acquisition enhances Patio Productions’ already robust catalog that features over 50 leading outdoor furniture and accessory brands. With a shared passion for quality materials, innovative design, and eco-friendly offerings, the combined companies will provide customers with unprecedented options for creating personalized outdoor sanctuaries.

This business move comes at a time when interest in outdoor living continues to flourish, with homeowners increasingly viewing their outdoor spaces as essential extensions of their homes. The integration of Starfire Direct’s premium fire features with Patio Productions’ extensive furniture collections creates a one-stop destination for consumers looking to transform their patios, decks, and backyards into sophisticated living areas.

Customers can expect the same commitment to quality and service that has defined both companies, with an expanded selection of products that blend functionality, durability, and style. The acquisition reinforces Patio Productions’ core mission of making luxury-quality outdoor living accessible to more people through reasonable pricing and exceptional product offerings.

In celebration of its 10th anniversary, TWOPAGES introduces TWOPAGES X, a global design initiative calling on creatives to submit original designs for window treatment collections. More than an aesthetic challenge, the contest provides a global platform for showcasing cultural vision and design storytelling.

The contest is now officially open for submissions and will run through multiple phases over the coming months, culminating in a final awards ceremony in September 2025.

“TWOPAGES X is more than a design competition – it’s a creative collaboration. TWOPAGES provides a space for designers, artists, and dreamers to turn their visions into reality, with the chance to see their work come to life in homes around the world.” -Ray Chen, Founder of TWOPAGES

A Global Design Contest for Creative Voices

TWOPAGES X has been launched with an emphasis on accessibility and global reach. The contest is completely free to enter, with participants retaining full ownership of their work.

Submissions will be evaluated based on three weighted criteria: Innovation (45%), Market Potential (35%), and Production Feasibility (20%), ensuring that winning designs are both creative and commercially viable.

Entrants can view all guidelines and submit their designs through the official event page: https://twopagescurtains.com/pages/twopages-x-design-contest

The TWOPAGES X Design Contest is positioned as more than a creative challenge. It represents a platform for global design voices to explore the deeper emotional and narrative potential of interior textiles. Participants are asked to submit original window treatment collections that do more than decorate, designs that evoke a lifestyle, reflect heritage, and connect with how individuals shape their living environments.

According to the official event brief, entries must adhere to specific submission guidelines. All design files should be in a square format (1:1 aspect ratio). Each submission must include at least two complete product collections, with each collection showcasing a consistent pattern or design style presented in 6 to 12 distinct colorways. A colorway refers to a unique color palette or combination applied to the same base pattern. Submissions must also include detailed fabric and craftsmanship information, such as recommended fabric types (e.g., linen, cotton) and production techniques (e.g., printing, embroidery, jacquard weaving). Submission opens on May 9, 2025. The contest is open to individuals aged 18 and above worldwide, regardless of background or professional affiliation.
