Materials
Body Materials and Where Each One Suits
- 304 stainless steel for general outdoor exposure in urban or garden settings
- 316 stainless steel for coastal areas or sites exposed to de-icing salts
- Mirror polish that reflects the sky, paving, and people around the sculpture
- Polished surface that resists weathering and maintains appearance over time
- Hollow construction using stainless steel plate, which reduces weight without sacrificing strength
Manufacturing Process
How the Part Is Made
- Scheme design developed against the site context, including scale, orientation, and visual impact
- Small model created to test form, proportion, and structural feasibility
- Plaster mould taken from the model to guide the forging of the steel plate
- Plate formed over the mould and welded into shape, with repeated grinding to smooth the surface
- Surface polished to mirror finish or left brushed, depending on the desired effect
- Final assembly and installation with base and fixing details designed to suit the site
Quality Control
What Is Checked Before It Ships
- The company states it runs its own professional QC team
- Welds are ground and polished to blend with the surrounding surface
- Repeated grinding before polishing ensures a consistent finish across the entire form
- Inner plastic or foam padding protects the surface during packing and transit
- Final inspection before packing confirms no scratches or surface defects
Customization
What Can Be Changed to Suit You
- Any size, height, or curvature can be made to specification
- 304 or 316 stainless steel selected based on the site’s environmental exposure

Comparison
How It Compares With the Alternatives
| A painted mild steel sculpture | Painted steel is cheaper initially but requires repainting every few years; stainless steel maintains its finish without maintenance |
|---|---|
| A bronze sculpture | Bronze develops a patina over time, which may not suit a modern urban setting; stainless steel keeps a consistent reflective surface |
| A fiberglass sculpture | Fiberglass is lighter and cheaper but cannot be polished to a mirror finish and is less durable in outdoor conditions |
| A corten steel sculpture | Corten changes appearance over time through weathering; this cello sculpture is intended to remain unchanged |
Use Guide
Fitting and Running It
- Choose the size based on the space it will occupy, not on a standard catalogue dimension
- Place the sculpture where it has a meaningful reflection—sky, water, or building facade
- Ensure the base and fixing are designed for wind load and ground stability at large scales
- Clean the polished surface with water and a soft cloth; avoid abrasives that damage the finish
- Specify 316 stainless steel if the site is near the coast or uses road salt in winter
- Plan 25 to 30 days for production and 15 to 20 days for transport from the order date
