- 316 stainless steel for coastal areas or sites where de-icing salts are used
- Mirror finish that reflects sky, planting and movement around the sculpture
- Hollow construction that keeps weight low at large scales
- Stainless steel’s resistance to corrosion and high temperatures ensures long-term durability
Manufacturing Process
How the Part Is Made
- Scheme design against the site to determine form, scale and placement
- Small model created and scaled up to full size with internal support structure
- Plaster mould taken from the model to shape the steel plate
- Steel plate forged to the mould and ground repeatedly to form the shell
- Surface mirror polished to achieve a reflective finish
- Welded assembly on site to ensure the joint is 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 on the finished surface
- Repeated grinding before polishing is part of the published method
- Inner plastic or foam packing protects the mirror surface during transport
Customization
What Can Be Changed to Suit You
- Any height or curvature to specification, as the company states it can make any shape
- Mirror finish applied to the same shell, ensuring a consistent reflective surface

- Ordered from a photograph or a drawing supplied by the customer
- Base and fixing detail designed to suit the installation site and wind load
Comparison
How It Compares With the Alternatives
| A painted steel lotus | Painted steel may cost less initially but requires repainting over time; stainless steel holds its finish permanently |
|---|---|
| A fibreglass lotus | Fibreglass is lighter and cheaper but cannot be polished to a mirror finish and is better suited for indoor use |
| A bronze lotus | Bronze develops a patina over time; this stainless steel lotus maintains a consistent, reflective surface |
| A corten steel lotus | Corten steel is chosen for its weathered appearance; this lotus is chosen for its clean, reflective finish |
Use Guide
Fitting and Running It
- Set the sculpture where it has something worth reflecting: sky, water, planting or architecture
- Plan for 25 to 30 days production time plus 15 to 20 days transport before installation
- Specify 316 stainless steel if the site is near the coast or exposed to road salt in winter
- Ensure the base and fixing detail are sized for wind load at large heights
- Clean the mirror surface with water and a soft cloth; avoid abrasives that damage the polish
- Confirm the custom height and curvature against the site before production begins
