Materials
Body Materials and Where Each One Suits
- #304 stainless steel for general outdoor exposure in urban or suburban gardens
- #316 stainless steel for coastal sites or areas with road salt use in winter
- Mirror finish to reflect the garden, sky, and surrounding architecture

- Painting applied to the same shell for consistent colour coverage
Manufacturing Process
How the Part Is Made
- Scheme design developed in context with the garden or urban space
- Small clay or digital model created and scaled up to full size
- Plaster mould taken from the model to form the hemispheres
- Steel plate forged to the mould and ground repeatedly to achieve the shell shape
- Surface treated with mirror polish, brushed finish, or paint as specified
- Welded assembly completed on site to allow final joint finishing
Quality Control
What Is Checked Before It Ships
- The company states it has its own professional QC team
- Welds are ground and polished to be invisible on the finished surface
- Repeated grinding is part of the published method before final surface treatment
- Wooden case packing protects the polished surface during transit

Comparison
How It Compares With the Alternatives
| A painted mild steel sculpture | Painted steel is cheaper upfront 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 mirror polished and is not suited for long-term outdoor exposure |
| A corten steel sculpture | Corten is chosen for its weathering patina; this piece is chosen for a consistent, reflective surface that does not change |
| A bronze sculpture | Bronze develops a green patina over time; this stainless steel form maintains its original appearance |
Use Guide
Fitting and Running It
- Choose the diameter based on the garden or plaza scale, not on a standard size
- Position the sculpture where it has something to reflect: sky, trees, water, or building facades
- Ensure the base and fixing are sized for wind load, especially at larger diameters
- Clean mirror surfaces 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 45 days for production plus sea freight from the date the site is ready for installation
