Know before you buy
No, the planter is crafted from raw Corten steel. It will develop its signature rusty, protective patina naturally over time when exposed to the elements.
Yes, the Lapel Planter is designed for both indoor and outdoor use. However, because the Corten steel will oxidize, we recommend using a saucer or protective mat if placing it on delicate indoor surfaces to prevent rust transfer.
Assembly is very straightforward and requires no tools. The interlocking sheets slide together easily, allowing you to set up the planter in just a few minutes.
Yes, Corten steel is highly durable and specifically engineered to withstand outdoor conditions. The rust-like layer that forms on the surface actually acts as a protective barrier against further corrosion.
The Lapel Planter is a standard pot design. Depending on your specific planting needs, you may want to add a layer of drainage material like gravel or leca at the bottom, or use a nursery pot insert inside.
