🛠️ Material & workmanship
- Material: genuine Corten steel – column and square bowls 1 mm, round bowls solid 1.5 mm
- handcrafted in our workshop in Bavaria – Made in Germany
- Corten steel is a weather-resistant structural steel (used in bridges and facades) – extremely durable
- each column is one of a kind – the decorative rust patina makes every piece unique
🌿 Weatherproof & durable
Corten steel forms a protective barrier layer beneath the visible rust that seals the material and prevents further corrosion. The column is frost-proof, weather-resistant and low-maintenance, can stay outside all year round and only gains in character over time – a piece that, like the family itself, stands the test of years.
💡 Planting tip
Since all bowls are removable, they can easily be planted separately and stored away in winter. For healthy planting, we recommend first adding a drainage layer of gravel so that the drainage hole remains clear. The larger bowls in particular offer space for a lush mix of seasonal flowers, grasses and small evergreen plants.
🎁 For which occasion?
With its quote about family, this column is a particularly personal gift – for Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, birthdays, Christmas, for a housewarming or simply as a sign of togetherness for the whole family.
