Stainless Steel Animal Sculpture
Large stainless steel sculpture—Elephant
A large stainless steel sculpture of an elephant is designed for public spaces, urban plazas, or private gardens where a strong, enduring form needs to stand as a landmark. The piece is made from 304 or 316 stainless steel, with a shell thickness between 1.0 and 3.0 mm, and is formed as a hollow structure to reduce weight while maintaining structural integrity. It is intended to be placed in an open area where its reflective surface interacts with the surrounding environment. The listed size is not fixed—this sculpture is made to any size on request.

Manufacturing Process
How the Part Is Made

Comparison
How It Compares With the Alternatives
| A painted mild steel elephant sculpture | Painted mild steel is cheaper upfront but requires repainting every few years; stainless holds its finish permanently |
|---|---|
| A fiberglass elephant 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 elephant sculpture | Corten is chosen for its weathered, rusted appearance; this piece is chosen for a clean, reflective surface that does not change |
| A cast bronze elephant sculpture | Bronze is heavier and more expensive; stainless steel offers similar longevity with lower weight and easier maintenance |
Use Guide
Fitting and Running It
- Choose the size based on the space it will occupy, not on a standard catalogue option
- Place the sculpture where it has a clear view of the sky, planting, or building facade to maximize visual impact
- Ensure the foundation and fixing system are designed for wind load, especially at larger sizes
- Clean the surface with water and a soft cloth; avoid abrasives that can damage the finish
- Specify 316 stainless steel if the site is near the coast or exposed to road salt in winter
- Plan 15 to 30 days after deposit for production, plus sea freight and on-site delivery
