Rust flower column (70 cm) made of Corten steel – slim column with planting bowl of your choice

The dainty one in the family: This 70 cm high flower pillar (tapered 24 × 24 → 18 × 18 cm) made of genuine Corten steel is the slimmest of our pillars with optional bowl – deliberately simple, without motif, with calm surfaces and warm rust patina. With a plant bowl up to Ø 50 cm it becomes an elegant outdoor decor pillar for patio, balcony and seating area – or a planting stele in a bed and at the entrance.

💡 From the same family: the compact 57 cm model (fixed bowl), the 85 cm mid-size, the 1 m classic (bowls up to Ø 60 cm) and the 1.30 m flagship (up to Ø 70 cm).

🛠️ Material & workmanship

• Material: genuine Corten steel – column and square bowls 1 mm, round bowls solid 1.5 mm
• 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.

💡 Planting tip

All bowls are removable, can be planted separately with ease and are easy to store in winter. For healthy planting we recommend a drainage layer of gravel so that the drainage hole or slots remain clear. At seating height, fragrant plants are especially effective – lavender, scented geraniums or herbs delight both nose and eyes.

❓ Frequently asked questions

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.

Why doesn’t the column have a motif?

Quite deliberately: the smooth surfaces give centre stage to your planting and suit any garden style. If you’d like a motif, you’ll find columns with dandelion, leaf vine or quote in 57 cm to 1 m in our shop.

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 can choose: square bowls (40 × 40 cm, standard or 15 cm deep) or round bowls with Ø 36, 47 or 50 cm – all removable.

Can I illuminate the column?

This column has no laser-cut motifs – for atmospheric lighting effects in the evening we recommend our motif columns with laser-cut patterns.

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.
