Material and patina
The Cortenys signature patina. Applied to the Corten steel in the workshop: your piece arrives patinated, ready to take its place in your setting.
- Material
- 3 mm Corten steel
- Cortenys signature patina, no varnish
- Supplied with the Cortenys signature patina: every piece has shades of its own, which deepen over the seasons with very little upkeep.
- Protective varnish
- Applied in the workshop over the Cortenys signature patina, the varnish sets it and deepens its tones with a subtle satin finish. It greatly reduces rust run-off but does not rule it out: protect the floor (small feet, spacers or a drip tray).
Delivery
Made to order. Never held in stock. Every Corten steel piece enters production when your order is received, its signature patina brought to maturity by our artisans so it reaches you in perfect condition and in the depth of its most beautiful shades. Allow 6 to 12 weeks from order confirmation to delivery, which is complimentary. This creation time is the signature of the House.
Returns and warranty
Fourteen days to change your mind, return at our expense.
Every piece is guaranteed for two years against manufacturing and assembly defects.
Care
Our Corten steel pieces receive the Cortenys signature patina in the workshop, before delivery: they never reach you bare, left to weather at home. Indoors, a protective varnish is essential; even varnished, the steel can still mark a light or porous floor, so we recommend protecting it. For everything else, follow the care recommendations for your piece and its finish.
Secure payment. No bank details ever pass through the House.

The Cortenys signature patina
The character of Corten steel. From day one.
The Cortenys signature patina is applied in the workshop, before delivery, to every Corten steel piece. Where Corten usually takes months to acquire an uneven patina, your piece arrives already dressed in deep, controlled shades. Its appearance then evolves according to the chosen finish, exposure and local conditions. For care, follow the recommendations specific to your piece and its finish.

Ondine
Round Corten steel basin
The circle of water you keep coming back to.
Ondine is a round basin in Corten steel, a circular volume of soft, continuous lines that cradles a calm, almost motionless sheet of water. It takes its name from the water spirits of old legends and keeps their discreet presence: no jet, no cascade, only a peaceful surface that holds the sky and the light, and brings the garden a mineral serenity.
01 / Ondine
For this round Corten steel water basin, Cortenys has rethought every detail: the curve of the wall, the strength of the 3 mm steel, the patina. That patina is applied in the workshop, in warm tones where earth and amber give way to deep rust, so that Ondine arrives already alive, rather than waiting seasons for the Corten to reveal itself. The steel circle frames the water like a jewel case and turns this water feature into a collector’s piece. For those who prefer a patina that stays exactly as it is, we offer an optional protective varnish that fixes it and simplifies maintenance. It greatly reduces rust run-off but does not rule it out: protect the floor (small feet, spacers or a drip tray).
02 / Ondine
Four diameters are available, from 1000 to 2500 mm, all 500 mm high: from patio to lawn, the circle keeps its proportions. Ondine is deliberately delivered bare, with no pump or lighting. On its own, it becomes a round, enveloping reflecting pool; it also welcomes a pump and a water feature of your choosing, to bring the surface to life. A basin designed in France and crafted in Europe to order, which gives Corten a delicacy it is rarely credited with.
