Rust decor column (57 cm) made of Corten steel – simple column with 35 × 35 cm planting bowl
Small, clean, timeless: This 57 cm high decorative column (tapered 28 × 28 → 18 × 18 cm) made of genuine Corten steel deliberately comes without a motif – calm surfaces, warm rust patina, finished. With its removable planter tray (35 × 35 cm), it’s the compact classic for indoors and outdoors: as an outdoor decor column by the front door, as a slim plant pedestal on the patio, on the balcony or as home decor in the entrance area.
With no motif, the entire stage belongs to your decoration: spring flowers in early spring, lush summer blooms, grasses and heather in autumn – and at Advent time fir branches with baubles and fairy lights. The calm rust surface suits every style, from country house to modern.
Column and bowl made of 1 mm genuine Corten steel – not thin sheet metal that dents in the first storm. Welded, folded and rusted in our Bavarian workshop by trained metalworkers. The bowl rests securely on four welded-on spheres.
Your column arrives already fully rusted at your home exactly as shown in the product photos. No weeks of waiting for the patina, no messing around with rust recipes as with bare metal. Unpack, set up, done.
💡 Prefer it larger or with a motif? From the same family: the delicate 70 cm, the 85 cm medium size, the 1 m classic and the 1.30 m flagship – or in the same size with a dandelion motif.

🛠️ Material & workmanship
- Material: genuine Corten steel, 1 mm – sturdy and durable
- welded and folded by trained metalworkers – Made in Germany
- handmade in our workshop in Bavaria
- 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.
💡 Decorating tip
The removable bowl can be planted separately with ease and is easy to store in winter – or use it all year round: in Advent, fir branches, baubles and a string of lights turn the planter into ready-made Christmas decor in no time. For planting we recommend a drainage layer of gravel so the drainage slots stay clear.
❓ Frequently asked questions
Why doesn’t the column have a motif?
Quite deliberately: the smooth surfaces give your plants and decorations the stage and suit any style. If you’d like a motif, you’ll find the link above to the dandelion version in the same size.
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.
Is the bowl removable?
Yes, the bowl (35 × 35 cm) sits on four balls, is removable and can be planted or decorated separately.
Can I illuminate the column?
This column has no laser-cut motifs – for atmospheric lighting effects in the evening we recommend our motif columns, such as the dandelion version (link above).
57, 70, 85 cm, 1 m or 1.30 m – which size is right for me?
All five are deliberately understated: the 57 cm is the compact one with fixed bowl (35 × 35 cm) – ideal for entrance and windowsill. The 70 cm is the slender one for seating height. The 85 cm is the mid-height option under windows and along railings. The 1 m classic carries bowls up to Ø 60 cm. And the 1.30 m flagship holds bowls up to Ø 70 cm, perfect for planting while standing. You’ll find the links above in the description.
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.
Our handcrafted rust decorative column is a simple, compact rust-look column with planter bowl – as an outdoor decorative column, small planting plinth or flower column for garden, patio, balcony and entrance area.
