Water translated into steel.

For Navium Marine: Blue Mind Garden, simple steel planters were sanded back and patinated by hand into rippled blue-green surfaces that carried the garden’s water story.

The garden explored the restorative effect of water: its movement, sound, reflection and stillness. Aylett Studio wanted the planters to carry that idea too.

Steel was chosen for its simplicity and strength, then transformed through patination into something more atmospheric. The finish gave each planter its own depth, variation and connection to the wider water landscape of the garden.
