Egypt

Planter and Water Feature

Design Jan Ostwald

The pyramids and desert sands of ancient Egypt provided the inspiration for this urban planter, created by turning a pyramid-shaped form upside-down. The planter can hold water as easily as it can contain earth, making it a versatile feature for any terrace or garden. Made from COR-TEN steel, the ashtray’s surface oxidises over time to create a beautifully weathered patina. The planter can be fitted with an inner container and irrigation tank to keep the compost moist.

Materials and surface treatments

Corten plate.

The planter are manufactured in corten sheet, whose special feature is the rusty surface that forms an oxide layer that prevents further corrosion. The surface becomes a beautiful rust red.

Steel

Nola uses high-quality steel with good strength in our products. Steel rusts if left untreated and must therefore be surface treated. This is done through electro-galvanization and powder coating, hot-dip galvanizing, or application of a zinc powder primer.

Hot-dip galvanized

Hot-dip galvanizing provides very strong protection against corrosion. The steel is dipped into a bath of hot liquid zinc. The zinc attaches and creates a surface coating on the steel part, which is then taken out of the bath and drained of excess zinc.

Assembly and placement

Freestanding

Freestanding product that is placed directly on the ground.

Installation in pre-cast foundations

Posts for installation in pre-cast foundations.

Maintenance

When used as a water basin, the unit requires regular cleaning, as the steel may initially discolour the surface beneath the planter. For best results, surround the unit with gravel, sand or soil. Note that stains on granite can be washed away with a solution containing 10% hydrochloric acid.

Hor dip galvanized steel

Hot-dip galvanized can be touch-up painted with so-called "cold galvanizing".
