IOTA custom-manufactures Bronze planters in any shape or size, from simple geometric shapes to complex architectural designs. The characteristic warm patina of the bronze appearance provides an ideal contrast to strong and dramatic planting, such as evergreen specimen trees.

All planters are made to order and to individual specifications.

The planters are manufactured from 2.0 or 3.0mm stainless steel and given a 1.2mm bronze or brass cladding. They are supplied with a pre-patinated finish which will age naturally outdoors. The images here show pre-patinated Bronze planters at a relatively early stage of natural ageing; with a general background patina of warm brown and gold. Over time, the planters will become generally darker, with increasing levels of tonal variation and highlights - and eventually some green tones will start to show through.
