- Custom shape and size allow the sculpture to fit precisely into the intended space
- Hollow construction reduces weight while maintaining structural integrity
- Production time of 25 to 30 days allows for planning within typical project timelines
- Packed in a standard wooden crate with inner plastic or foam protection for transit
Application Scenarios
Where It Is Installed
- A public garden where a non-representational form needs to stand as a focal point without dominating the landscape
- A hotel entrance court where the sculpture reflects the building facade and arriving guests
- A commercial plaza where a modern abstract form adds visual interest without a figurative theme
- An urban square where the sculpture interacts with sunlight and shadows across the day
- A corporate campus where the piece reads as contemporary art against glass and paved surfaces
Who It Is For
Buyers Who Specify It
- Landscape architects designing a non-figurative centrepiece for a public space
- Hotel and property developers commissioning a modern art object for a high-visibility entrance
- Art consultants sourcing a custom abstract form with a reflective surface
- Urban design studios specifying a durable, low-maintenance sculpture for a public installation
- Garden designers needing a sculptural element that changes appearance with light and weather
Problems It Solves
What It Fixes on the Line
- A public space with no visual anchor that feels empty or unremarkable
- A site that requires a modern art object but lacks a suitable figurative or symbolic form
- A commission with a reference image but no technical drawing, requiring fabrication from visual input
- A need for a long-lasting sculpture that does not require repainting or surface maintenance
- A project timeline that must align with a fixed installation date, with predictable production lead time
Technical Features
How It Is Built
- Constructed from 304 or 316 stainless steel, selected based on exposure conditions
- Formed into a custom abstract shape with no standard dimensions
- Surface finished to mirror polish, which reflects the surrounding environment
- Hollow shell built from plate material, shaped over a mould and welded at joints
- Welds ground and polished to blend with the surface, ensuring a continuous finish
- Custom size as standard, not as a special order, with no fixed dimensions listed
Materials
Body Materials and Where Each One Suits
- 304 stainless steel for general outdoor exposure in non-coastal environments
- 316 stainless steel for coastal areas or sites with frequent road salt use
- Mirror polish finish that reflects the sky, surroundings and movement of people
- Hollow construction using plate steel, reducing weight while maintaining strength
- Custom shape and size possible, with no standard form or dimension
Manufacturing Process
How the Part Is Made
- Scheme design developed against the site, including form, scale and placement
- Small-scale model created and scaled up to full size with internal support structure
- Plaster mould taken from the model to guide the forging process
- Steel plate formed over the mould and repeatedly ground to achieve the desired shape
- Surface mirror polished to eliminate imperfections and create a reflective finish
- Welded assembly and final finishing on site, with joint polished to match the surface
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 before polishing ensures a smooth, reflective finish
- Packing in a wooden crate with inner plastic or foam protects the surface during transit
Customization
What Can Be Changed to Suit You
- Any shape, curvature or height can be made to specification
- Custom size as standard, not as a special order, with no fixed dimensions

- Mirror polish applied to the entire surface, with no variation in finish
- Orders accepted from a photograph or a drawing supplied by the customer
Comparison
How It Compares With the Alternatives
| A painted steel sculpture | Painted steel requires repainting every few years; stainless steel holds its finish permanently and resists corrosion |
|---|---|
| A corten steel sculpture | Corten develops a weathered patina over time; this mirror polished stainless steel maintains a consistent reflective surface |
| A fiberglass sculpture | Fiberglass is lighter and cheaper at large sizes but cannot be polished to a mirror finish and is less durable outdoors |
| A bronze sculpture | Bronze requires periodic maintenance to prevent green patina; stainless steel maintains its appearance with minimal care |
Use Guide
Fitting and Running It
- Choose the size and shape based on the space it will occupy, not on a standard catalogue size
- Place the sculpture where it has a meaningful reflection—sky, water, building, or planting
- Ensure the base and fixing detail are designed for wind load, especially at larger sizes
- Clean the mirror surface with water and a soft cloth; avoid abrasives that damage the polish
- Specify 316 stainless steel if the site is near the coast or experiences winter de-icing
- Plan 25 to 30 days for production plus 15 to 20 days for transport from the date the site is ready
