Stainless Steel Sculpture
garden decoration Large size modern stainless steel art apple sculpture

It is intended to stand in a garden, courtyard, or private landscape where it reflects light, sky, and surrounding planting. The listed size is custom size, and like almost every item in this catalogue, it is made to any diameter on request. Production time is 25 to 30 days.

Key Benefits
What This Nozzle Gives You
- A mirror finish reflects the garden, sky and trees, making the sculpture change with the light and season
- Hollow construction reduces weight at large sizes, simplifying installation and foundation design
- #304 for general garden exposure or #316 where coastal or de-icing salt is present
- Brushed or painted finishes reduce glare and allow for colour integration into the landscape scheme
- Custom size as standard, not a special order, so it fits the space exactly
- Factory Direct and Door to Door Delivery ensures the polished surface arrives intact
Application Scenarios
Where It Is Installed
- A private garden where a single sculptural object anchors the space without blocking views
- A courtyard between a house and a garden wall, where the apple form adds a modern touch
- A public park entrance where a large apple sculpture signals a creative or cultural space
- A luxury villa garden where the reflective surface interacts with water features and planting
- A landscape design where the sculpture is placed to reflect a specific tree, wall or sky line
Who It Is For
Buyers Who Specify It
- Landscape architects designing a modern garden with a sculptural focal point
- Private homeowners commissioning a unique garden feature with visual impact
- Property developers adding a distinctive art element to a high-end residential project
- Art consultants sourcing a contemporary metal form for a private or public garden
- Garden designers integrating a reflective object that changes with the time of day
Problems It Solves
What It Fixes on the Line
- A garden that lacks a focal object and reads as empty or unfinished
- A space where off-the-shelf sculptures are too small or too generic
- A design that needs a modern, abstract form but has no technical drawing
- A commission that starts with a photograph of a similar piece but no dimensions
- A client who wants a reflective surface but cannot afford a glass or resin alternative
Technical Features
How It Is Built
- Hollow shell formed from two hemispheres over a mould and welded together
- Weld ground and polished so the joint is not visible on the finished surface
- #304 or #316 stainless steel body depending on the exposure environment
- Mirror, brushed or painted finish applied to the same base shell
- Custom diameter as standard, not a special order, to fit the site exactly
Materials
Body Materials and Where Each One Suits
- #304 stainless steel for general garden exposure in temperate climates
- #316 stainless steel where coastal air, road salt or de-icing is a factor
- Mirror polish to reflect the garden, sky and surrounding planting
- Brushed finishing to reduce glare and hide handling marks
- Painting for colour integration into the landscape scheme
Manufacturing Process
How the Part Is Made
- Scheme design against the garden site, which sets the form, scale and finish
- Small clay model scaled up with internal support structure designed in parallel
- Plaster mould taken from the model to form the shell
- Plate forged to the mould and ground repeatedly to build the shell thickness
- Surface treated with mirror polish, brushed finish or paint
- Welded assembly on site, so the joint can be finished out after installation
Quality Control
What Is Checked Before It Ships
- The company states it runs its own professional QC team
- The weld between hemispheres is polished out rather than left proud
- Repeated grinding before surface treatment is part of the published method
- Wooden case packing protects the polished surface during transit
Customization
What Can Be Changed to Suit You
- Any diameter to specification; the company states spheres from 25 mm to 10 m
- Mirror, brushed, painted or coloured finish from the same base shell
- #304 or #316 body to suit the garden exposure
- Ordered from a photograph or a drawing supplied by the customer
- Base and fixing detail designed with the piece for garden installation
Comparison
How It Compares With the Alternatives
| A painted mild steel apple sculpture | Painted steel costs less initially but requires repainting every few years; stainless holds its finish permanently |
|---|---|
| A corten steel apple form | Corten is chosen when the surface is meant to weather and change; this piece is chosen when it should remain reflective and unchanged |
| A fiberglass apple sculpture | Fiberglass is lighter and cheaper at large sizes but cannot be polished to a mirror and is not suited for outdoor exposure |
| A solid metal apple sculpture | Solid construction increases weight and cost at large diameters; hollow form reduces weight and simplifies foundation |
Use Guide
Fitting and Running It
- Set the diameter against the garden space, not against a catalogue size
- Place the sculpture where it has something worth reflecting: sky, trees, water, or a wall
- Allow a foundation and fixing detail sized for wind load at large diameters
- Clean a mirror surface with water and a soft cloth; abrasives damage the polish
- Specify #316 rather than #304 if the garden is near the coast or exposed to salt
- Plan 25 to 30 days production plus sea freight from the date the garden is ready
