Stainless Steel Sphere Sculpture
2200mm Large stainless steel hollow sphere
A large hollow stainless steel sphere designed for outdoor installation in public spaces, gardens or architectural forecourts. This piece is 2200 mm in diameter and made from durable AISI304 stainless steel, formed using water pressure and welded into a perfect spherical shape. The surface can be finished in mirror polished, raw, brushed, sandblasted, electroplated or spray painted color. It is built to stand as a focal point in open areas, reflecting sky, landscape and movement around it.

Application Scenarios
Where It Is Installed
- A public garden where a large reflective sphere acts as a central visual anchor
- An urban plaza that needs a modern, minimalist object to define the space
- A private estate entrance with room for a large-scale sculptural element
- A corporate campus where the sphere reflects glass facades and greenery
- A landscape feature near a water body, where the reflection doubles in the surface
Who It Is For
Buyers Who Specify It
- Landscape architects specifying a large-scale reflective object for a public space
- Property developers commissioning a durable, low-maintenance sculpture for a residential or commercial site
- Garden designers integrating a modern metal form into a contemporary landscape
- Art consultants sourcing a large-scale stainless steel sphere with multiple finish options
- Private collectors seeking a custom-sized, high-visibility sculpture for a private garden
Problems It Solves
What It Fixes on the Line
- An open space that lacks a central visual element and feels empty or unfinished
- A site that needs a large sculptural object but has no room for a figurative or complex form
- A project requiring a specific size that does not match standard off-the-shelf options
- A need for a surface finish that resists weathering and requires minimal upkeep
- A design that relies on a reference image but lacks a technical drawing for fabrication
Technical Features
How It Is Built
- Hollow shell formed from AISI304 stainless steel sheet using water pressure
- Welded from two hemispheres with precise shaping and seam grinding
- Weld joint ground and polished to blend with the surface finish
- Available in thickness from 1 mm to 5 mm depending on structural needs
- Surface finish applied after welding: mirror polished, raw, brushed, sandblasted, electroplated or spray painted
- Steel tube base available on request for secure installation
Materials
Body Materials and Where Each One Suits
- AISI304 stainless steel for general outdoor use in non-corrosive environments
- Mirror polish for high reflectivity and clean visual impact
- Brushed finish to reduce glare and hide minor surface marks
- Sandblasted finish for a matte, textured surface with depth
- Electroplated or spray painted finishes for colour variation and design flexibility
Manufacturing Process
How the Part Is Made
- Technical team calculates steel sheet size and shape for the required diameter
- Sheet is bent into a precise spherical form using water pressure
- Two hemispheres are welded together to form a complete sphere
- Weld seams are ground down and smoothed to prepare for surface treatment
- Final surface finish applied: mirror polish, brushed, sandblasted, electroplated or painted
- Steel tube base added on request for installation stability
Quality Control
What Is Checked Before It Ships
- The company states it runs its own professional QC team
- Weld seams are ground and polished to be invisible after finishing
- Surface treatment applied uniformly across the entire shell
- Wooden case packing protects the polished surface during transit
- Final inspection ensures the sphere is free of dents, warping or finish defects
Customization
What Can Be Changed to Suit You
- Any diameter from 6 mm to 3500 mm, with no standard die required
- Thickness selected between 1 mm and 5 mm based on structural needs
- Surface finish chosen from mirror polished, raw, brushed, sandblasted, electroplated or spray painted
- Steel tube base available on request for installation
- Orders accepted from a photograph or technical drawing provided by the customer
Comparison
How It Compares With the Alternatives
| A painted mild steel sphere | Painted mild steel is cheaper initially but requires repainting every few years; stainless steel maintains its finish permanently |
|---|---|
| A fiberglass sphere | Fiberglass is lighter and cheaper at large sizes but cannot be mirror polished and is not suited for long-term outdoor exposure |
| A corten steel sphere | Corten steel is chosen for its weathered, rusted appearance; this stainless sphere is chosen for a clean, reflective surface that does not change |
| A solid steel sphere | Solid construction increases weight and cost; this hollow design reduces mass while maintaining strength |
Use Guide
Fitting and Running It
- Select the diameter based on the scale of the surrounding space, not a standard catalogue size
- Position the sphere where it has a meaningful reflection: sky, trees, buildings or water
- Include a steel tube base in the design if the sphere will be installed in a high-wind area
- Clean mirror surfaces with water and a soft cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners that damage the finish
- Specify 316 stainless steel if the site is near the coast or exposed to road salt
Questions Buyers Ask

What size is this stainless steel sphere and can it be made larger?
The listed size for this piece is 2200 mm, and like most of this catalogue it is also made to custom size. The company states spheres from 6 mm to 3500 mm in diameter.
Which stainless steel grade is used for this sphere?
This sphere is made from AISI304 stainless steel. It is suitable for general outdoor exposure. If the site is coastal or salted in winter, 316 stainless steel can be used instead.
What surface finishes are available for this sphere?
This sphere can be finished in mirror polished, raw, brushed, sandblasted, electroplated, or spray painted color. Each finish is applied after welding and grinding.
How long does it take to produce this sphere?
This is the time from order to factory readiness.
How is this large sphere packed and delivered?
The sphere is packed in a wooden case and delivered via Factory Direct and Door to Door Delivery, which protects the polished surface during transit.
Can you make this sphere with a base for installation?
Yes. A steel tube base is available on request and can be designed to suit the installation site and wind load requirements.
