Key Benefits
What This Nozzle Gives You
- Hollow construction reduces weight, making large diameters suitable for suspension or light base installation
- Hand polished surface reflects ambient light and surrounding forms, creating dynamic visual interest
- AISI 304 for general indoor use or 316 where humidity or airborne salts are present
- Custom size from 1000 mm to 2000 mm and beyond, with wall thickness from 1 mm to 4 mm
- Finish is hand polished, which enhances reflectivity and minimizes tool marks
- Wooden or iron box packaging with internal soft foam protects the surface during transit
Application Scenarios
Where It Is Installed
- A hotel lobby where a floating sphere acts as a central visual anchor without occupying floor space
- An atrium with high ceilings where a large sphere appears to hover above a reception desk
- A private residence entry hall where a reflective sphere adds modern sculptural presence
- A gallery space where the sphere reflects art on the walls and the movement of visitors
- A high-end residential living area where the sphere serves as a focal point in a minimalist setting
Who It Is For
Buyers Who Specify It
- Interior designers specifying a sculptural element in a high-end residential or commercial space
- Hotel and resort developers commissioning a unique feature for a lobby or atrium
- Art consultants sourcing a custom reflective object for a private collection
- Architects integrating a floating form into a built-in installation or ceiling mount
- Property developers looking for a distinctive decorative feature that stands out without cluttering the space
Problems It Solves
What It Fixes on the Line
- A large interior space that lacks a visual focal point despite high ceilings and open layout
- A design that needs a reflective object but cannot use a grounded sculpture due to floor plan constraints
- A project that requires a large sphere but standard off-the-shelf sizes do not match the scale
- A client who wants a polished surface but is concerned about scratches or marks from handling
- A need for a custom size that falls outside standard product ranges, requiring bespoke fabrication
Technical Features
How It Is Built
- Hollow shell formed from two hemispheres joined at the equator
- Weld seam ground and hand polished to blend with the surrounding surface
- Wall thickness between 1 mm and 4 mm, depending on diameter and structural need
- AISI 304 or 316 stainless steel body, chosen based on environmental exposure
- Hand polished finish applied after welding and shaping to achieve a reflective surface
- Custom diameter as standard, with no fixed size limit beyond the listed 1000 mm and 2000 mm
Materials
Body Materials and Where Each One Suits
- AISI 304 stainless steel for indoor environments with normal humidity
- AISI 316 stainless steel for spaces with high humidity, coastal exposure, or chemical vapours
- Hand polished finish that enhances reflectivity and hides minor surface imperfections
- 1 mm to 4 mm wall thickness, allowing for structural integrity at large diameters
- Hollow construction reduces weight while maintaining visual presence
Manufacturing Process
How the Part Is Made
- Scheme design based on the intended space and visual effect
- Two hemispheres formed over a mould from stainless steel plate
- Weld seam ground and hand polished to match the surrounding surface
- Final hand polishing applied to achieve a reflective finish
- Internal soft foam added before packing to protect the surface
- Sturdy wooden or iron box used for exterior packaging and transport
Quality Control
What Is Checked Before It Ships
- The company states it runs its own professional QC team
- Weld seam is ground and hand polished to be invisible on the finished surface
- Hand polishing is applied after welding to ensure consistent reflectivity
- Internal soft foam and external wooden or iron box protect the polished surface during shipping
Customization
What Can Be Changed to Suit You
- Any diameter to specification, with the company stating it can produce spheres of almost any size
- Wall thickness from 1 mm to 4 mm, selected based on size and structural need
- Finish is hand polished, which is standard, but colour is customizable upon request
- Ordered from a photograph or a drawing supplied by the customer
- Base or suspension system designed to match the installation context
Comparison
How It Compares With the Alternatives
| A solid steel sphere | Solid construction increases weight significantly, making installation more complex and costly; hollow design allows for large sizes with manageable weight |
|---|---|
| A painted steel sphere | Painted surfaces wear and chip over time; hand polished stainless steel maintains its appearance with minimal maintenance |
| A glass sphere | Glass is fragile and not suitable for large diameters or high-traffic areas; stainless steel is durable and impact-resistant |
| A fibreglass sphere | Fibreglass is lighter and cheaper but cannot be hand polished to a mirror finish; stainless steel offers superior reflectivity and longevity |
Use Guide
Fitting and Running It
- Select the diameter based on the scale of the space and the desired visual impact
- Ensure the installation point can support the weight of the hollow sphere, especially at 2000 mm
- Use 316 stainless steel if the space has high humidity or is near a coastal area
- Clean the hand polished surface with water and a soft cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners
- Plan 20 to 30 days production after deposit, plus shipping time for delivery
- Specify the suspension or base detail early to match the installation context
