Technical Features
How It Is Built
- Hollow shell formed from two hemispheres welded together over a mould
- Weld joint ground and polished to be invisible on the finished surface
- 304 or 316 stainless steel body selected based on environmental exposure
- Mirror or brushed finish applied to the same shell, ensuring consistency
- Custom size available from 3 to 9 meters, with no standard size limiting the design
Materials
Body Materials and Where Each One Suits
- 304 stainless steel for general outdoor exposure in urban or suburban areas
- 316 stainless steel where coastal air, road salt, or de-icing chemicals are present
- Mirror polish that reflects the sky, surroundings, and movement of people
- Brushed finishing that reduces glare and hides minor surface marks
- Hollow construction using welded hemispheres to reduce weight at large diameters
Manufacturing Process
How the Part Is Made
- Scheme design developed against the site context, including scale, orientation, and exposure
- Small-scale model created and scaled up, with internal support structure designed in parallel
- 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 polished to mirror or brushed finish, depending on the specification
- Welded assembly and final finishing performed on site, ensuring the joint is seamless
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 final surface
- Repeated grinding before polishing is part of the published method
- Inner plastic or foam padding protects the surface during transport in the wooden crate
Customization
What Can Be Changed to Suit You
- Available in sizes from 3 to 9 meters, with custom dimensions possible on request

Comparison
How It Compares With the Alternatives
| A painted steel sculpture | Painted mild steel is cheaper initially but requires repainting every few years; stainless steel maintains its finish permanently |
|---|---|
| A fiberglass sculpture | Fiberglass is lighter and cheaper at large sizes but cannot be polished to a mirror finish and is less durable in outdoor conditions |
| A corten steel sculpture | Corten is chosen for its weathered, rusted appearance over time; this stainless steel piece is chosen for a clean, reflective surface that does not change |
| A standard off-the-shelf sculpture | Standard sculptures come in fixed sizes and finishes; this piece is made to any size from 3 to 9 meters and can be tailored to the site |
Use Guide
Fitting and Running It
- Choose the diameter based on the scale of the surrounding space, not a catalogue size
- Position the sculpture where it has a meaningful reflection: sky, water, or adjacent architecture
- Ensure the foundation and fixing system are designed for wind load at large diameters
- Clean the 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 exposed to winter de-icing salts
- Plan for 25 to 30 days production plus 15 to 20 days transport from the order date
