Mini planting column (40 cm) made of Corten steel – small rusted steel column with 30 × 30 cm bowl
Small, but with a big presence: our mini column brings the charm of the large plant columns down to 40 cm height – tapering from 20 × 20 to 15 × 15 cm, with four spheres supporting the square planting bowl (30 × 30 cm). Perfect for all places where the 1-metre sisters would be too tall: on the windowsill, the table on the patio or balcony, the step at the front door – and as a gift that always fits.
⭐ The little one – big look in mini format
Same shape, same material, same craftsmanship as its big sisters – just in 40 cm: this makes the mini column the most charming introduction to the world of rust-look columns and, with its small price, a popular gift idea for birthdays and Mother’s Day.
💪 Genuine workshop craftsmanship – even in the small details
Even the mini is made just like the big ones: from genuine Corten steel, welded, folded and rusted in our workshop in Bavaria by trained metalworkers. No thin imported sheet metal – a small piece of craftsmanship.
✨ Genuine Corten steel – instantly in a finished decorative rust look
Your column arrives already fully rusted arriving at your home exactly in the look of the product photos. No weeks of waiting for the patina, no fiddling with rust recipes as with bare metal. Unpack, set up, done.

🛠️ Material & workmanship
- Material: genuine Corten steel – 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

🌿 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
The bowl is removable and can easily be planted separately – with violas in spring, succulents in summer, heather in autumn or a small arrangement for Advent. A thin drainage layer of gravel keeps the planting healthy.
