Freja Smart a unique corten steel planter that has a reservoir at the bottom to collect water, which helps the plants to withstand the dry season better. The flower box has a double bottom and a water overflow pipe. Water will be collected between the two bases, the reservoir has a capacity of 12 litres. Excess water will flow out of the planter through the overflow pipe.
Design: Petteri Wiimaa
Made from Cor-Ten steel which is almost pure carbon steel but processed in order to have a protective layer on the surface to make it weather-proof. The surface is originally greyish, due the weather conditions it turns reddish-brown (resembles the colour of rusting), which becomes darker within time.
If used properly, Cor-Ten steel is expressive, durable and maintenance-free and can stand the test of time in its own peculiar way.
