The material
Built to age, not just to last
Every piece starts as flat mild steel, precisely laser-cut to shape. Left untreated, it doesn't stay the same — it weathers outdoors, deepening from raw grey to a rich, warm rust over time. That's not a flaw. It's the design.

Full weathered rust
It doesn't stay exactly the same. Over time, the steel develops its own character, gradually becoming part of the garden around it — the way a memory does, rather than a photograph pinned in place.
Prefer a clean, modern look that stays just as it is? Every design is also available in brushed stainless steel (£10 more) — a bright silver finish that doesn't rust or change outdoors.
