Collection of Five Belgian Zinc Watering Cans on Custom Wall Mounts
Unexpectedly sculptural and quietly poetic, this collection of five Belgian zinc watering cans transforms a humble garden tool into something undeniably magnetic. Each can bears its own history—softly worn zinc, gentle dents, and that unmistakable silvery patina earned through years of watering borders and kitchen gardens. Normally objects one might cast aside without ceremony, together they become a family of silhouettes: long spouts, stout bellies, and handles that arc with calligraphic grace.
To reframe them as design objects, we’ve had custom steel mounts fabricated to arrange the cans in a circular starburst pattern—a graphic, almost sun-like composition that feels part industrial, part pastoral, and thoroughly modern. In a garden room, the installation reads like a botanical mandala; outdoors, it becomes a whimsical focal point; indoors, it delivers a sophisticated wink of garden charm. Proof that even the most ordinary tools, when reimagined, can radiate unexpected beauty.
