Stainless Steel Sculpture

This piece is made from 304 or 316 stainless steel, finished mirror polished, and built to custom size. The hollow shell is formed from two hemispheres welded together and polished to eliminate visible seams. It is intended to stand as a focal point in open areas, where its reflective surface interacts with the environment throughout the day.

- Custom size means the piece fits the exact dimensions of the site, not the other way around
- Production time of 25 to 30 days allows for planning within a typical project timeline
- Wooden crate with inner plastic or foam packing protects the surface during transit
Application Scenarios
Where It Is Installed
- A public garden where a single reflective form anchors the space and draws attention
- A hotel courtyard that needs a modern, high-impact sculpture without figurative content
- A shopping mall forecourt where the sculpture reflects the building’s glass and sky

Technical Features
How It Is Built
- Hollow shell formed from two hemispheres over a mould and welded together
- Weld joint ground and polished to be invisible on the finished surface
- 304 or 316 stainless steel body selected based on environmental exposure
- Mirror polish applied after welding to ensure a continuous reflective surface

Materials
Body Materials and Where Each One Suits
- 304 stainless steel for general outdoor use in non-coastal or low-salt environments
- 316 stainless steel for coastal areas, winter salt exposure, or high-moisture zones
- Mirror polish for a reflective surface that captures and returns the surrounding space
- Hollow construction to reduce weight while maintaining structural integrity
- Welded joint ground and polished to match the shell surface, not visible in use
Manufacturing Process
How the Part Is Made
- Scheme design developed in relation to the site, including scale, form, and finish

- Plaster mould taken from the model to form the hemispheres
- Steel plate forged to the mould and ground repeatedly to build the shell thickness
- Surface polished to mirror finish after welding, with final inspection before packing
- Welded assembly completed on site, ensuring the joint is finished to match the shell
Quality Control
What Is Checked Before It Ships
- The company states it runs its own professional QC team
- Welds are ground and polished to be flush with the shell surface

Comparison
How It Compares With the Alternatives
| A painted steel sculpture | Painted steel requires repainting every few years; stainless steel maintains its finish indefinitely without maintenance |
|---|---|
| A bronze sculpture | Bronze develops a patina over time; stainless steel maintains its original appearance, which is preferred for modern, clean designs |
| A fiberglass sculpture | Fiberglass is lighter and cheaper at large sizes but cannot be polished to a mirror finish and is less durable outdoors |
| A corten steel sculpture | Corten is chosen for its weathered, changing appearance; mirror polished stainless steel is chosen for consistent, reflective clarity |
Use Guide
Fitting and Running It
- Choose the diameter based on the open space around it, not on a standard size
- Place the sculpture where it has a clear view of sky, water, or building façades to maximize reflection
- Ensure the foundation and fixing system are designed for wind load at large diameters
- Clean the mirror surface with water and a soft cloth; avoid abrasives that damage the polish
- Specify 316 stainless steel if the site is near the coast or experiences winter de-icing
- Plan 25 to 30 days for production and 15 to 20 days for transport from the order date
