- Custom size means the piece fits the space, not the other way around
- Polished surface is durable and maintains appearance without repainting
- Wooden crate with inner plastic or foam packing protects the finish during transit

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 finish applied to the entire shell, ensuring consistent reflection
- Custom diameter and shape possible, with no standard sizes offered
Materials
Body Materials and Where Each One Suits
- 304 stainless steel for general outdoor use in non-coastal or low-salt environments

- Mirror polish creates a reflective surface that shows the sky, trees, and people around it
- Polished finish is durable and does not require recoating or repainting
- Hollow construction keeps the weight manageable at large sizes
Manufacturing Process
How the Part Is Made
- Scheme design developed in context with the intended outdoor space
- Small-scale model created and scaled up with internal support structure designed
- Plaster mould taken from the model to form the shell
- Stainless steel plate forged to the mould and ground repeatedly to shape the surface
- Surface polished to mirror finish across the entire shell
- Welded assembly completed on site to allow final joint finishing

Comparison
How It Compares With the Alternatives
| A painted steel sculpture | Painted steel may cost less initially but requires repainting every few years; stainless steel maintains its finish permanently |
|---|---|
| A corten steel sculpture | Corten develops a rusted patina over time; this mirror finish is chosen to remain unchanged and reflective |
| A fiberglass sculpture | Fiberglass is lighter and cheaper at large sizes but cannot be polished to a mirror finish and is less durable outdoors |
| A bronze sculpture | Bronze is heavier and more expensive; it also develops a patina over time, while this piece retains a consistent reflective surface |
Use Guide
Fitting and Running It
- Choose the size based on the space it will occupy, not on a standard catalogue option
- Position the sculpture where it has something to reflect: sky, trees, water, or building façades
- Ensure the base and fixing are designed for wind load, especially at larger diameters
- Clean the mirror surface with water and a soft cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners or pads
- Specify 316 stainless steel if the site is near the coast or experiences winter de-icing
- Plan 25 to 30 days for production, plus 15 to 20 days for transport from the factory to the site
