Technical Features
How It Is Built
- Hollow shell formed from two hemispheres over a mould, welded together and polished
- Weld joint ground and polished to be invisible on the finished surface
- #304 or #316 stainless steel body depending on the indoor environment and exposure
- Mirror, brushed or painted finish applied to the same shell, ensuring consistency
- Custom diameter as standard, not as a special order, with no minimum size limit
Materials
Body Materials and Where Each One Suits
- #304 stainless steel for general indoor use with no corrosive exposure
- #316 stainless steel for environments with high humidity or chemical exposure
- Mirror polish to reflect interior lighting and surrounding architecture
- Brushed finishing to reduce glare and hide minor surface marks
- Painting to match a specific interior colour scheme or design mood
Manufacturing Process
How the Part Is Made
- Scheme design developed against the interior space, considering scale, lighting and context
- Small clay model created and scaled up to the final size with internal support structure
- Plaster mould taken from the model to shape the metal shell
- Steel plate forged to the mould and ground repeatedly to achieve the correct form
- Surface polished, brushed or sprayed to final finish
- Welded assembly completed on site, allowing the joint to be finished flush
Quality Control
What Is Checked Before It Ships
- The company states it runs its own professional QC team
- Weld between hemispheres is ground and polished to be invisible on the finished surface
- Repeated grinding before surface treatment ensures a smooth base for polishing
- Wooden case packing protects the polished surface during transit
Customization
What Can Be Changed to Suit You

- #304 or #316 stainless steel body to suit the environment
- Ordered from a photograph or a drawing supplied by the customer
- Base and fixing detail designed to match the installation site
Comparison
How It Compares With the Alternatives
| A painted steel sculpture | Painted steel may match a colour scheme but requires repainting over time; stainless steel holds its finish permanently |
|---|---|
| A fibreglass sculpture | Fibreglass is lighter and cheaper but cannot be mirror polished and is less durable in high-traffic indoor spaces |
| A bronze sculpture | Bronze develops a patina over time; stainless steel maintains its original surface, which is preferred for consistent indoor design |
| A solid metal sculpture | Solid forms are heavier and more expensive to fabricate; hollow construction reduces weight and cost without sacrificing appearance |
Use Guide
Fitting and Running It
- Set the height against the room’s scale, not against a catalogue size
- Place the sculpture where it has a clear view of the interior space to reflect light and architecture
- Ensure the base and fixing detail are sized for stability in a high-traffic area
- Clean mirror surfaces with water and a soft cloth; avoid abrasives that damage the polish
- Specify #316 stainless steel if the space has high humidity or frequent cleaning with chemicals
- Plan 45 days production plus delivery time from the date the installation is needed
