Materials
Body Materials and Where Each One Suits
- #304 stainless steel for general outdoor use in moderate climates
- #316 stainless steel for coastal or high-salt environments
- Corten steel for a natural, weathering surface that develops a rust-like patina over time
- Mirror finish to reflect the sky, surroundings, and people
- Brushed finishing to reduce glare and hide minor surface marks
- Painting for colour integration into a specific design scheme
Manufacturing Process
How the Part Is Made
- Scheme design developed against the site, considering scale, exposure, and visual impact
- Small model created and scaled up with internal support structure designed in parallel
- Plaster mould taken from the model to shape the metal shell
- Metal plate forged over the mould and ground repeatedly to achieve the desired form
- Surface treated with mirror polish, brushed finish, or paint as specified
- Welded assembly completed on site, with the joint finished to match the surface
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 invisible on the finished surface
- Repeated grinding is part of the published method to ensure surface uniformity
- Wooden case packing protects the surface during transit, especially for mirror finishes
Customization
What Can Be Changed to Suit You
- Any size to specification, with no standard dimensions listed
- Material choice between #304, #316 stainless steel, or corten steel based on exposure

Comparison
How It Compares With the Alternatives
| A figurative sculpture | An abstract form avoids narrative or symbolic interpretation, allowing the space and light to define its meaning |
|---|---|
| A painted mild steel sculpture | Painted steel requires repainting every few years; stainless and corten maintain their appearance with minimal upkeep |
| A fiberglass sculpture | Fiberglass is lighter and cheaper but cannot be mirror polished and is less durable in outdoor conditions |
| A corten steel sculpture with no finish | Corten changes over time; this piece offers a stable mirror or painted surface if a consistent appearance is required |
Use Guide
Fitting and Running It
- Choose the size based on the space it will occupy, not on a catalogue standard
- Position the sculpture where it can interact with light, shadow, or movement
- Select #316 stainless steel if the site is near the coast or exposed to road salt
- Use mirror finish to reflect the sky and surroundings, brushed for subtlety, painted for colour
- Plan for 25 to 30 days of production time before the site is ready for installation
- Ensure the foundation and fixing system are designed for wind load and long-term stability
