This piece is a custom-form sculpture made from 304 or 316 stainless steel, with a mirror polished finish that enhances its presence in natural and built environments. The listed size is custom size, and like most items in the catalogue, it is made to any diameter or height on request. The body is hollow, formed by shaping plate over a mould and welding the sections together, then polished to a high finish.

Problems It Solves
What It Fixes on the Line

- A need for a durable outdoor sculpture that won’t rust or degrade over time
- A desire for a reflective surface that changes with light and weather conditions
- A project with a reference image but no technical drawing, requiring fabrication from visual input
Technical Features
How It Is Built
- Hollow shell formed by shaping metal plate over a mould, then welded together
- Welds ground and polished to be invisible on the finished surface
- 304 or 316 stainless steel body selected based on environmental exposure
- Mirror polished finish applied after welding and grinding
- Custom size and shape possible, with no standard dimensions listed
- Welded assembly on site to ensure the joint is finished properly
Materials
Body Materials and Where Each One Suits
- 304 stainless steel for general garden use in temperate climates
- 316 stainless steel for coastal areas or sites where road salt is used in winter
- Mirror polish, which reflects the environment with clarity and precision
- Brushed finishing, which reduces glare and hides minor surface marks
- Painting, where colour is required instead of reflection
Manufacturing Process
How the Part Is Made
- Scheme design developed in relation to the garden space and surrounding context
- Small model created and scaled up, with internal support structure designed in parallel
- Plaster mould taken from the model to guide the metal forming
- Plate forged to the mould and ground repeatedly to achieve the correct shape and thickness
- Surface mirror polished, brushed or sprayed after welding and grinding
- Welded assembly on site to ensure the joint is finished and the surface remains intact
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 flush with the surface, not raised
- Repeated grinding before final polishing is part of the published method
- Inner plastic or foam padding protects the surface inside the wooden crate
Customization
What Can Be Changed to Suit You
- Any size or shape on request, with no standard dimensions listed
- Mirror, brushed or painted finish applied after welding
- 304 or 316 stainless steel selected based on site exposure
- Orders accepted from a photograph or a drawing supplied by the customer
- Base and fixing detail designed to suit the garden installation site
Comparison
How It Compares With the Alternatives
| A painted mild steel sculpture | Painted steel is cheaper upfront but requires repainting every few years; stainless steel holds its finish permanently |
|---|---|
| A corten steel sculpture | Corten changes over time with weathering; this piece maintains a consistent reflective surface |
| A fiberglass sculpture | Fiberglass is lighter and cheaper but cannot be mirror polished and is not suitable for long-term outdoor exposure |
| A bronze sculpture | Bronze develops a patina and requires maintenance; stainless steel maintains its original appearance |
Use Guide
Fitting and Running It
- Choose the size based on the garden space, not on a standard catalogue dimension
- Position the sculpture where it has something worth reflecting: sky, trees, water, or a building facade
- Ensure the foundation and fixing detail are sized for wind load, especially at larger scales
- Clean the mirror 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 winter de-icing salts
- Plan 25 to 30 days for production plus 15 to 20 days for transport from the factory to the site
