Anish Kapoor's Convex Mirror Sculpture Concave Mirror Sculpture
Handmade stainless steel concave and convex mirror wall sculptures in AISI 201, 304 or 316, with diameters from 300 mm to 3000 mm and wall thickness from 1 mm to 6 mm. The sculpture is formed from a single seamless hemisphere, mirror polished to eliminate visible seams, and designed for interior and home decoration. Each piece is custom built to your size, finish and mounting requirements, with no fixed stock sizes.
Key Benefits
- Hand formed and mirror polished to eliminate visible seams, so the reflection reads as a continuous surface
- Diameters from 300 mm to 3000 mm allow for large-scale interior focal points in homes and hotels
- Wall thickness from 1 mm to 6 mm lets you balance weight and rigidity for the mounting location
- Available in AISI 201, 304 or 316 stainless steel to match indoor environment and budget
- Custom size and shape built to your drawing or photo, so it fits your space exactly
- No painted or coated surface means no fading or chipping over time, unlike traditional mirrors
Problems It Solves
- Traditional mirrors with visible frames or joints break the illusion of a continuous surface
- Painted or coated mirrors fade, chip or yellow over time, especially in high-traffic areas
- Off-the-shelf mirror sizes do not fit custom wall layouts or architectural proportions
- Site welding or drilling on a finished mirror damages the surface and ruins the polish
- Mass-produced mirror sculptures lack the precision and seamless finish needed for high-end interiors
