What is unique about Cor-ten®?
Historical Significance
Developed and patented in 1933, Cor-Ten® steel was the world's first weather-resistant steel.
Proven Durability
Produced under license from United States Steel Corporation (USS), Cor-Ten® demonstrates exceptional resistance to atmospheric corrosion.
Natural Patina Formation
Upon exposure to the elements, Cor-Ten® steel develops a stable, rust-like appearance known as a patina. This patina forms a protective layer, preventing further corrosion and eliminating the need for painting. Over time, the color becomes deeper and more uniform.
JOYKO's Collaboration with Cor-Ten® Steel
In 2020, JOYKO entered into an exclusive partnership with ODIN-Stroy, the sole authorized dealer of Cor-Ten® steel in the Russian Federation. This collaboration allows JOYKO to craft sculptures using authentic Cor-Ten® steel, ensuring both aesthetic appeal and longevity.
Fundamental and Boldly Creative
We took our boar on a journey — from the historic center of St. Petersburg, through the windswept Gulf of Finland, and into the vibrant Design District — to tell you:

- how and for whom we create our sculptures;
- what makes Cor-ten truly unique;
- why our sculptures stay clean, and how long it takes for the steel to develop that rich, noble brown patina;
- the philosophy behind polygonal forms and the psychology of color.
P.S. Have you noticed that it perfectly fits into any space?
