Key Benefits
What This Nozzle Gives You
- The concave shape creates a distorted reflection that changes with the viewer’s position, adding dynamic visual interest
- Hollow construction reduces weight while maintaining structural integrity at large diameters
- #304 for general outdoor use or #316 where exposure to salt or de-icing chemicals is expected
- Mirror, brushed or painted finish applied to the same shell, ensuring consistency across the surface
- 200cm as listed, or any diameter the site requires
- Wooden case packing and door to door delivery protect the surface during transit
Application Scenarios
Where It Is Installed
- A public square where a single sculptural object must engage passersby and create a moment of pause
- A hotel entrance courtyard where the sculpture reflects the building facade and sky as guests arrive
- A garden courtyard that needs a focal point with visual depth and movement
- A corporate plaza where the piece adds a modern, reflective element to a paved area
- An urban park feature where the distortion of the reflection draws people in for a closer look
Who It Is For
Buyers Who Specify It
- Landscape architects specifying a reflective focal point in a paved public space
- Hotel and resort developers commissioning a distinctive entrance feature
- Property developers seeking a sculptural landmark for a residential or commercial complex
- Art consultants sourcing a contemporary metal form with a strong visual effect
- Urban design studios integrating a dynamic object into a public realm scheme
Problems It Solves
What It Fixes on the Line
- An open outdoor space that lacks a visual anchor and feels empty or directionless
- A site that needs a sculptural object but has no room for a figurative or large-scale form
- Off-the-shelf sculptures that come in fixed sizes and do not match the site dimensions
- A commission that has a reference image but no technical drawing or scale
- A need for a long-lasting surface that does not require repainting or maintenance
Technical Features
How It Is Built
- Hollow shell formed by shaping plate over a mould and welding two hemispheres together
- Weld joint ground and polished to be invisible on the finished surface
- Material choice between #304 or #316 stainless steel based on environmental exposure
- Surface finish applied after welding: mirror, brushed, or painted
- Custom diameter as standard, not as a special order
Materials
Body Materials and Where Each One Suits
- #304 stainless steel for general outdoor exposure
- #316 stainless steel where coastal air or road salt is present
- Mirror polish for strong, reflective surface that captures surroundings
- Brushed finishing to reduce glare and hide minor surface marks
- Painting where the design requires colour rather than reflection
Manufacturing Process
How the Part Is Made
- Scheme design developed against the site to define form, scale and finish
- Small clay model created and scaled up with internal support structure designed
- Plaster mould taken from the model to shape the metal shell
- Steel plate forged to the mould and ground repeatedly to form the shell
- Surface treated with mirror polish, brushed finish, or paint
- Welded assembly on site to allow final joint finishing
Quality Control
What Is Checked Before It Ships
- The company states it runs its own professional QC team
- Weld between hemispheres is ground and polished to be flush, not raised
- Repeated grinding before surface treatment is part of the published method
- Wooden case packing ensures the polished surface is protected during transport
Customization
What Can Be Changed to Suit You
- Mirror, brushed, or painted finish applied to the same shell
- #304 or #316 body based on site exposure
- Ordered from a photograph or a drawing supplied by the customer
- Base and fixing detail designed in coordination with the piece
Comparison
How It Compares With the Alternatives
| A flat mirror panel | A flat mirror reflects the world as it is, while a concave form distorts and concentrates the image, creating a more engaging and dynamic effect |
|---|---|
| A full sphere | A full sphere reflects the environment cleanly from all angles, while a concave form creates a focused, inverted image that changes with the viewer’s position |
| A painted steel sculpture | Painted steel requires periodic repainting; stainless steel holds its finish permanently, which is why it is used in permanent installations |
| A corten steel sculpture | Corten is chosen for its weathered, changing surface; this concave mirror is chosen for a consistent, reflective finish that does not degrade |
Use Guide
Fitting and Running It
- Set the diameter against the scale of the surrounding space, not against a catalogue size
- Position the sculpture where it has something to reflect: sky, trees, building lines
- Ensure the base and fixing detail are sized for wind load at large diameters
- Clean the mirror surface with water and a soft cloth; avoid abrasives that damage the polish
- Specify #316 rather than #304 if the site is near the coast or experiences winter de-icing
- Plan 45 days production plus sea freight from the installation date
