Zen

Planter

Design Jan Ostwald

This stylish planter is a beautiful accessory for a contemporary garden. The refined shape of the Zen planter seems to be closer to art than design, and its characteristic shape has strong resonance with styles from the Far East. The design bridges the gulf between a planter’s everyday functionality and its ability to add beauty to a garden, terrace or balcony.

Materials and surface treatments

Bronze.

Steel

Nola uses high-quality steel of good strength in our products. Steel rusts if left untreated and must therefore be surface treated. For this we use two main methods for surface treatment of steel parts; electrogalvanizing and powder coating as well as hot-dip galvanizing.

Bronze

Bronze is an alloy of copper and tin. The material is extremely weather-resistant.

Recycled sand cast aluminium

Aluminium recycled from scrap, hand cast in sand moulds. The energy consumption when producing recycled aluminium is about 5% of that used when producing virgin aluminium.

Powder coating

Powder coating is a coating that is applied as a free-flowing, dry powder. Unlike conventional liquid paint, powder coating is usually applied electrostatically and then cured under heat or with ultraviolet light. The result is an even, hard-wearing coloured surface with the desired gloss level.

Electrogalvanized

Electrogalvanizing (also known as zinc plating) provides corrosion protection through the sacrifice of zinc ions. It is created via a zinc coating on the steel using an electric current.

Assembly and placement

Freestanding

Freestanding product that is placed directly on the ground.

Surface mount

Can be bolted above ground, to the floor or to a cast-in-place foundation. Bolts not included.

The planter and base are delivered in two parts. The base should be bolted to the planter by the bolts provided.

Maintenance

Cast bronze

Should a product crack or break through vandalism, it works perfectly to solder or weld the material. A damaged oxide layer can be restored through patination by a skilled craftsman.

Powdercoated steel

Products that are electro-galvanized and powder-coated can be touch-up painted with alkyd paint.

Sand cast aluminium

Maintenance on aluminium is not normally needed, but make sure to wash and keep the material clean. Untreated aluminium develops a matte surface over time.
