Anish Kapoor's Cool Blue Concave Mirror Wall Sculpture at the Metropolitan Museum of Art-Electroplated
Handmade concave mirror wall sculpture fabricated from imported stainless steel, designed to integrate with modern interior and home decoration.

Available in sizes from 300 mm to 3000 mm diameter and wall thicknesses of 1 mm to 6 mm, the sculpture is custom built to your specifications. It is suitable for indoor spaces where a dynamic, reflective surface enhances the environment and draws the viewer into the artwork.

Compared With The Alternatives
| Alternative | How this product compares |
|---|---|

| Painted metal panels | No peeling, fading or chipping; mirror finish remains consistent over time |
| Standard stock wall art | Custom size and shape avoid design compromises and ensure visual harmony with the space |
