Quote column “Giving & Taking” (1 m) made of Corten steel – rustic column with love quote and planting bowl

Four lines that say it all: This 1-metre-high, tapered column (32 × 32 → 22 × 22 cm) made of genuine Corten steel bears one of the most beautiful quotes about love – finely laser-cut, line by line. With a plant bowl of your choice up to Ø 60 cm, it becomes a flower column for outdoors – and a gift that reminds you of what really matters every time you look into the garden.

Giving, receiving, sharing, holding – four words that describe what makes a good partnership. That’s exactly why this column is one of our most popular wedding gifts: a garden present that doesn’t disappear into a cupboard, but stands in the couple’s garden for decades and grows more beautiful with every season.

• Material: genuine Corten steel – column and square bowls 1 mm, round bowls solid 1.5 mm
• the quote is cut by laser – every column is one of a kind
• handcrafted in our workshop in Bavaria – Made in Germany
• Corten steel is a weather-resistant structural steel (used in bridges and facades) – extremely durable
• 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 character over time.

💡 Planting tip

All bowls are removable, can be planted separately with ease and are simple to store over winter. For healthy planting we recommend a drainage layer of gravel so the drainage hole or slots remain clear. Especially lovely as a wedding gift: present the bowl already planted – with white flowers.

🎁 For which occasion?

With its quote about love, this pillar is the perfect gift for a wedding, engagement, anniversary, silver or golden wedding – or for Valentine’s Day for the person at your side.

❓ Frequently asked questions

What quote is on the column?

“Giving without demanding – taking without possessing – sharing without asking – holding without tying down” – laser-cut in four lines.

Can I illuminate the column?

Yes. The quote is cut all the way through and the column is open at the bottom – with a string of LED lights or a candle inside, the words glow atmospherically outwards in the evening.

Will the column be delivered fully rusted?

Yes. Your column made of genuine Corten steel is already fully rusted when delivered – you’ll see the decorative rust finish immediately, just like in the photos. No waiting, no after-treatment required.

Which planter bowl fits the column?

You have the choice: square bowls (50 × 50 cm, standard or 15 cm deep) or round bowls with Ø 50, 53 or 60 cm – all removable.

Can the column stay outside all year round?

Yes. Corten steel is weatherproof and frost-resistant and designed for long-term use in the garden, on the patio or balcony.
