Archipello. is designed for:

• Landscape architects

• Landscape designers

• Specifiers and architects

• Design-driven residential and commercial developments

The range is intended for projects where material quality, longevity, and architectural intent are critical.

The Archipello. collection includes:

• Architectural steel planters in multiple sculptural forms and sizes

• Steel garden edging systems, including straight, curved, and set profiles

• Modular steel retaining wall systems for structural and visual landscape definition

Each system is designed to work independently or as part of a cohesive landscape palette.

Archipello. products are manufactured from architectural-grade steel, including:

• Corten steel (weathering steel)

• Powder-coated steel (available on selected products)

Material thickness ranges from 1.5 mm to 3 mm, depending on product type and structural requirements. For thicker steel requirements, please enquire.

All Archipello. corten steel elements are manufactured from S355J0WP+AR, a high-performance weathering steel compliant with EN 10025-5. This grade is commonly used in bridges and architectural structures due to its high tensile strength and controlled corrosion behaviour.

Yes. The corten steel used in Archipello. products carries:

• European certification EN10204-3.1

• CE / Declaration of Performance

These certifications provide assurance of material composition, mechanical performance, and traceability for professional specification.

No. Archipello. products are delivered without the rust patina. The natural weathering process begins once the product is exposed to outdoor conditions. A full, stable patina typically forms within 4–5 months, depending on climate and exposure.

During the initial weathering phase, some rust run-off may occur. This can be controlled by applying an approved penetrating rust inhibitor, which stabilises the patina and prevents flaking or staining once the desired finish is achieved.

Yes. Archipello. products are engineered for long-term outdoor use and are suitable for New Zealand’s residential, commercial, and public landscapes. The controlled corrosion process of S355J0WP+AR corten steel ensures durability, structural integrity, and low maintenance over time.
