Anish Kapoor's Classic Blue Concave Mirror Sculpture at the Exhibition Wall Art Sculpture
Concave mirror discs pressed from AISI 201, 304 or 316 stainless steel and mirror polished to a high-gloss finish. Wall thickness ranges from 1 mm to 6 mm and diameters from 19 mm to 3000 mm, allowing the same fabrication method to serve as a wall panel in a gallery, a reflective feature in a hotel lobby, or a large-scale installation in a public exhibition space. The disc is formed from a single sheet, then shaped into a concave profile and seam welded, with the joint ground to blend invisibly into the reflective surface.
Key Benefits
- Mirror polished surface holds a clear, undistorted reflection without yellowing or fading
- Concave shape draws the viewer into the artwork, making them part of the visual experience
- Wall thickness selectable from 1 mm to 6 mm so cost matches the structural need
- Seam ground and blended so the joint is invisible in reflection
- Drilled and tapped holes can be positioned to your drawing before final polish
- Diameters from 19 mm to 3000 mm come from one supplier, so a series of discs match in finish and reflectivity
Problems It Solves
- Painted or coated mirrors yellow and degrade under UV exposure, but stainless steel retains its reflectivity
- Multiple suppliers produce discs with inconsistent polish, leading to mismatched reflections
- Site drilling a finished mirror disc scratches the surface and ruins the finish
- Thin discs warp under their own weight when mounted large, but 1 mm to 6 mm thickness allows rigidity
- Concave forms made from multiple segments show visible seams, but a single welded disc hides the joint
Application Scenarios
Wall-mounted reflective art in galleries, museums and exhibition spaces
Interior focal points in hotel lobbies, private residences and corporate atriums
Interactive installations where the viewer’s reflection is distorted and reformed
Architectural features in high-end retail spaces and luxury showrooms
Public art displays where the concave form creates a dynamic visual response
Backdrop elements in film and VFX studios for HDRI reference and lighting simulation
Who It Is For

Technical Features
- Single sheet formed into a concave profile using press forming, then seam welded
- AISI 201 for indoor use, AISI 304 for general outdoor, AISI 316 for coastal or high-moisture environments
- Wall thickness from 1 mm to 6 mm, selected based on diameter and mounting method
- Seam ground and blended until invisible in reflection
- Holes drilled and threads tapped before final polish to avoid surface damage
- Mirror polished to a high-gloss finish with uniform reflectivity across the surface
- Optional vacuum metallising or candy colour spray for non-reflective finishes
- Welded mounting brackets or stands available on request

How It Is Made
- Step 1Sheet cut and blanked to the required diameter and thickness
- Step 2Concave profile formed using a press tooling system
- Step 3Hemispheres joined at the seam and welded into a single disc
- Step 4Weld seam ground and blended until no visual trace remains
- Step 5Holes drilled and threads tapped to your drawing before final polish
- Step 6Mirror polished through progressive grits to achieve uniform reflectivity
- Step 7Optional vacuum metallising or candy colour spray applied over a base layer
- Step 8Protective film applied, foam wrapped, and placed on wooden stand or in case
Quality Control and Use
Quality Control
- Seam inspected under reflected light to confirm invisibility in the mirror finish
- Diameter and wall thickness verified before polishing begins
- Thread holes checked for pitch and depth after tapping
- Finished disc kept under protective film until packed
- Photographs of the finished piece sent for approval before balance payment
Use Guide
- Specify diameter, wall thickness, finish, and hole positions when requesting a quote
- Send the mounting detail so the bracket or stand is welded in the correct location
- Use 316 if the disc will be installed near salt water, pools, or de-icing chemicals
- Keep the protective film on until the disc is mounted and the site is clean
- Clean with soft cloth and water only; never use abrasive pads or chloride cleaners
Compared With The Alternatives
| Alternative | How this product compares |
|---|---|
| Painted or coated mirror discs | No yellowing, no chipping, no need for repainting, but higher initial cost |
| Glass concave mirrors | No risk of shattering, lighter weight, and easier to transport, but less scratch resistant |
| Multiple segment mirror panels | Single welded disc has no visible seams, while segmented panels show joints |
| Cast or solid metal discs | Much lighter for large diameters, so easier to handle and install, but not load bearing |

Questions About Anish Kapoor's Classic Blue Concave Mirror Sculpture at the Exhibition Wall Art Sculpture
What is the largest diameter you can make?
3000 mm on standard tooling. Intermediate sizes between 19 mm and 3000 mm are available without extra cost.
How long does delivery take?

Which material should I choose for indoor use?
AISI 201 is cost-effective for indoor spaces. AISI 304 is recommended for longer life and better corrosion resistance.
Can you add holes and threads before polishing?
Yes. All drilling and tapping is done before the final mirror polish to prevent surface damage.
How are the discs packed for shipping?
Each disc is wrapped in soft foam, placed on a wooden stand, and secured in a wooden or iron case.
What are the payment terms?
