- Polished surface resists corrosion and maintains appearance without repainting
- Wooden crate with inner plastic or foam packing protects the finish during transit
Application Scenarios
Where It Is Installed
- A private garden where a single sculptural object adds focus without dominating the planting
- A landscape design with a modern aesthetic that needs a reflective, geometric form
- A public park or courtyard where a durable, low-maintenance sculpture stands in open ground
- A garden path or entrance where the sculpture catches light and draws attention
- A landscape project with a theme of nature and scale, using an insect form to contrast with the environment

Problems It Solves
What It Fixes on the Line

- A commission based on a photograph or sketch with no technical drawing available
Technical Features
How It Is Built
- Hollow cube structure formed from stainless steel plate, welded at the seams
- Welds ground and polished to match the mirror finish, so the joint is not visible
- 304 or 316 stainless steel body depending on environmental exposure
- Mirror polish applied to the entire surface, enhancing reflection and depth
- Custom size as standard, not a special order, with no fixed dimensions listed
Materials
Body Materials and Where Each One Suits
- 304 stainless steel for general garden use in temperate climates
- 316 stainless steel for environments with coastal exposure or road salt
- Mirror polish that reflects the garden, sky and surroundings with clarity
- Hollow construction that reduces weight while maintaining structural integrity
- Stainless steel’s resistance to corrosion and high temperatures ensures long-term stability
Manufacturing Process
How the Part Is Made
- Scheme design based on the garden setting, including scale, placement and visual impact
- Small model created and scaled up to the intended size with internal support planned
- Plaster mould taken from the model to shape the steel plate
- Steel plate forged to the mould and ground repeatedly to form the cube shell
- Surface polished to mirror finish across all faces and edges
- Welded assembly on site, with the joint finished to match the polished 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 in the final mirror finish
- Repeated grinding before polishing ensures a smooth, consistent surface
- Inner plastic or foam protection in the wooden crate prevents scratches during transit
Customization
What Can Be Changed to Suit You
- Any size to specification; the company states spheres and forms from 25 mm to 10 m
- Mirror finish applied to the entire surface, with no variation across faces
- 304 or 316 stainless steel selected based on the garden’s exposure conditions
- Ordered from a photograph or a drawing supplied by the customer
- Base and fixing detail designed to suit the garden’s ground type and wind load
Comparison
How It Compares With the Alternatives
| A painted steel sculpture | Painted steel is cheaper initially but requires repainting every few years; stainless steel maintains its finish without maintenance |
|---|---|
| A bronze or corten steel sculpture | Bronze and corten change over time with weathering; this mirror finish stays consistent, ideal for a modern, stable appearance |
| A fiberglass sculpture | Fiberglass is lighter and cheaper but cannot be polished to a mirror finish and is less durable in outdoor exposure |
| A simple metal cube without polish | A brushed or matte cube lacks reflective presence; the mirror finish makes this piece interact with the garden in a dynamic way |
Use Guide
Fitting and Running It
- Choose the size based on the garden’s scale, not on a standard catalogue size
- Place the sculpture where it has something to reflect: sky, trees, water, or paving
- Ensure the base and fixing are designed for the ground type and wind load at large sizes
- 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 de-icing salts
- Plan 25 to 30 days for production plus 15 to 20 days for transport from the order date
