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
- 2 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.
Material & careHow to choose a Corten steel planterThe design
Déméter
Rectangular trough in Corten steel
A line of Corten steel, sized to every garden.
Long, low and crisp, this rectangular Corten steel planter draws a continuous, living line that structures the planting rather than simply holding it. Bamboo, grasses or shrubs take root in it to form a green screen: it frames a terrace, accompanies a path, runs along a pond or divides two spaces. Its depth gives roots all the room they need, and its warm patina, between rust, sienna and amber, sets the planting against a backdrop of rare density. From a distance it draws a line; up close, it reveals the grain of its patina.
01 / Déméter
Corten worked as it deserves: 2 mm Corten steel for a true, upright stance, a Cortenys signature patina applied in the workshop for depth, and a pared-back design for precision. Every piece arrives with shades of its own. Its elongated form lends itself to structural planting, in strict rows or in loose drifts. Where the planter borders a pale floor, an optional varnish fixes the patina and greatly reduces rust run-off, without ruling it out: protect the floor (small feet, spacers or a drip tray).
02 / Déméter
Twenty-one sizes, from the compact format to the long 2000 mm line: Cortenys chose to multiply the dimensions rather than impose a compromise on you. Designed in France, then crafted to order in Europe, this Corten steel planter takes its place outdoors as an element of architecture. Where others sell sheet metal, Cortenys creates a Corten planter of real distinction, made to accompany the garden from season to season.
