Technical Features
How It Is Built
- Hollow shell formed from two hemispheres over a mould and welded together
- Weld joint ground and polished to be invisible on the finished surface
- 304 or 316 stainless steel body selected based on exposure conditions
- Surface finish applied after welding, including mirror or brushed options
- Custom diameter and shape made to specification, not limited to standard sizes
Materials
Body Materials and Where Each One Suits
- 304 stainless steel for general outdoor use in non-coastal environments
- 316 stainless steel for areas with high humidity, salt exposure, or de-icing use
- Mirror polish to reflect the garden, sky and surrounding landscape
- Brushed finishing to reduce glare and hide minor surface marks
- Surface finish applied after welding to ensure continuity across the shell
Manufacturing Process
How the Part Is Made
- Scheme design developed against the garden or public space, including form, size and finish
- Small model created and scaled up to match the final dimensions and support structure
- Plaster mould taken from the model to guide the forging process
- Steel plate formed over the mould and ground repeatedly to build the shell
- Surface polished or brushed after welding to achieve the final finish
- Welded assembly completed on site, allowing the joint to be finished in place
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 smoothness

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 corten steel sculpture | Corten changes over time with weathering; this stainless piece remains stable and reflective, ideal for a consistent visual effect |
| A fiberglass sculpture | Fiberglass is lighter and cheaper at large sizes but cannot be polished to a mirror finish and is less durable in outdoor conditions |
| A bronze sculpture | Bronze develops a patina over time; this stainless piece retains its original surface, which is better for a modern, clean aesthetic |
Use Guide
Fitting and Running It
- Choose the diameter based on the garden’s scale, not on a standard size
- Place the sculpture where it has a clear view of sky, planting or hardscape to maximize reflection
- Ensure the base and fixing are sized for wind load, especially at larger diameters
- Clean the surface with water and a soft cloth; avoid abrasives that damage the polish
- Specify 316 stainless steel if the garden 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 date the garden is ready
