Stainless Steel Sculpture
Contemporary Art Large Red Butterfly Outdoor Stainless Steel Sculpture
A large red butterfly sculpture made from stainless steel is designed for outdoor spaces such as gardens, plazas, and hotel courtyards, where it acts as a focal point that draws attention through its bold colour and dynamic form. The piece is constructed from a hollow shell of 304 or 316 stainless steel, finished in a durable red paint, and made to any custom size on request. It is intended to stand in open areas where it can be seen from multiple angles and reflect light and surroundings subtly through its painted surface. The listed production time is 25 to 30 days, with an additional 15 to 20 days for transport.

Technical Features
How It Is Built
- Hollow stainless steel shell formed from a single piece of metal, shaped to the butterfly form
- 304 or 316 stainless steel body chosen based on environmental exposure

- Custom size made to specification, with no standard sizes offered
- Welds and joints hidden within the form, with no visible seams on the painted surface
- Packed in an outer wooden crate with inner plastic or foam to protect the painted finish
Materials
Body Materials and Where Each One Suits
- 304 stainless steel for general outdoor use in non-coastal areas
- 316 stainless steel for coastal or high-salt environments where corrosion resistance is critical
- Red paint applied as a durable, weather-resistant finish that does not require polishing
- Hollow construction reduces weight while maintaining strength at large sizes
- Painted surface avoids the need for mirror polishing and its associated maintenance
Manufacturing Process
How the Part Is Made
- Scheme design based on the site and intended visual impact, including form and scale
- Small model created and scaled up to match the final size and structural needs
- Metal plate shaped over a mould to form the butterfly’s wings and body
- Welds made and ground smooth, then the entire surface prepared for painting
- Red paint applied in multiple layers to ensure even coverage and durability
- Final assembly and packing in a wooden crate with inner plastic or foam for transport
Quality Control
What Is Checked Before It Ships
- The company states it runs its own professional QC team
- Paint finish inspected for even coverage, no runs or missed spots
- Welds ground smooth and hidden within the form to avoid visible seams
- Packing verified to protect the painted surface during transit
- Final inspection before shipment to confirm size, finish and structural integrity
Customization
What Can Be Changed to Suit You
- Any size to specification, with no standard sizes offered
- Red painted finish as standard, with other colours available on request
- 304 or 316 stainless steel selected based on site exposure
- Ordered from a photograph or a drawing supplied by the customer
- Base and fixing detail designed to suit the installation site and wind load
Comparison
How It Compares With the Alternatives
| A mirror polished stainless steel butterfly | A mirror finish reflects the environment constantly, which can be distracting; a red painted surface focuses attention on the form and colour without distraction |
|---|---|
| A bronze or corten steel sculpture | Corten and bronze change over time with weathering; a painted stainless steel butterfly maintains its original appearance for years |
| A fiberglass butterfly sculpture | Fiberglass is lighter and cheaper but cannot hold a durable painted finish and is more prone to cracking in outdoor conditions |
| A powder coated metal sculpture | Powder coating can chip or fade over time; a painted stainless steel surface is more durable and easier to touch up |
Use Guide
Fitting and Running It
- Choose the size based on the open space around it, not on a standard catalogue option
- Place the sculpture where it can be seen from multiple angles, especially at ground level
- Ensure the base and fixing are sized for wind load, especially at larger dimensions
- Clean the painted surface with water and a soft cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners
- Specify 316 stainless steel if the site is near the coast or exposed to road salt
- Plan 25 to 30 days for production plus 15 to 20 days for transport from the order date
