Corten steel column with dandelion motif and half-sphere bowl â 1 m flower column for outdoors
A particularly elegant version: This 1 m tall, slim column (20 Ă 20 cm) made of real Corten steel carries its finely laser-cut dandelion motif on all sides. The special feature: the column is open at the top, so the round half-sphere bowl (Ă 30 cm) slides flush into the opening and everything looks like itâs cast from a single piece. As an outdoor decor column, plant pedestal or rusty flower stand, itâs a calm, refined eye-catcher for garden, patio and entrance.
Unlike columns with a bowl placed on top, this column is open at the top â the round half-sphere bowl Ă 30 cm slips directly into the opening and sits perfectly flush. No visible balls, no edges: a harmonious, continuous silhouette.
The column is open at the bottom â place an LED string of lights or a candle inside and the light will shimmer out through the delicate dandelion motif. This turns your column into an atmospheric light source on the patio or in the flower bed in the evening.
Your column will arrive already fully rusted, exactly as shown in the product photos. No weeks of waiting for the patina, no fiddling with rust recipes as with bare metal. Unpack, set up, done.
The same slim column is also available with deep square planter bowl (30 Ă 30 cm, 18 cm deep) â ideal for lush planting.

Beate, a trained florist, contributes the eye for beauty. We handcraft every piece in Bavaria â and weâre personally available if you have any questions.
đż 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.
đĄ Planting tip
The half-sphere bowl is deliberately kept shallow to emphasize the elegant silhouette â ideal for shallow-rooting plants, succulents, moss arrangements or seasonal accents. For deeper planting we recommend the version with a deeper square bowl (see link above).
â Frequently asked questions
How does the half-sphere bowl sit on the column?
The pillar is open at the top â the round half-sphere bowl (Ă 30 cm) slots directly into the opening and sits flush and stable, with no visible spheres.
Will the column be delivered fully rusted?
Yes. Your column made of genuine Corten steel is already fully rusted when delivered â youâll see the decorative rust finish immediately, just like in the photos. No waiting, no after-treatment required.
Can I illuminate the column?
Yes. The column is open at the bottom â with a string of LED lights or a candle inside, the dandelion motif glows atmospherically outwards in the evening.
