- Mirror, brushed or painted finish allows the piece to reflect light, colour or surroundings as needed
- #304 or #316 stainless steel offers durability in outdoor conditions, with #316 suited for coastal or high-moisture areas
- Corten steel develops a weathered patina over time, which may be desired in a natural garden setting
- Factory Direct and Door to Door Delivery reduces handling risk and ensures the polished surface arrives intact

Technical Features
How It Is Built
- The sculpture is formed from a single continuous metal ribbon, shaped to a custom design
- Constructed from #304 or #316 stainless steel, or corten steel, depending on the exposure and finish
- Surface finish applied after shaping: mirror, brushed or painted, all from the same base material
- Custom size as standard, with no fixed dimensions listed in the catalogue
- Production time of 25 to 30 days from order to completion
- Welds and joints are ground and finished to maintain the integrity of the ribbon form
Materials
Body Materials and Where Each One Suits
- #304 stainless steel for general outdoor use in gardens with moderate exposure
- #316 stainless steel for garden courtyards near coastal areas or where de-icing salts are used
- Corten steel for a garden where a natural weathering process and rust patina are desired
- Mirror finish to reflect sky, foliage and surrounding architecture
- Brushed finishing to reduce glare and hide minor surface marks
- Painting to introduce colour or match a specific design scheme
Manufacturing Process
How the Part Is Made
- Scheme design developed against the garden courtyard space, considering scale, sightlines and context
- A small model or sketch created to test the form and flow of the ribbon
- Metal plate shaped and formed into the ribbon profile using custom tooling
- Welds and joints ground and smoothed to maintain the continuous line of the form
- Surface finish applied—mirror, brushed or painted—after shaping and structural checks
- Final assembly and packing in a wooden case for Door to Door Delivery
Quality Control
What Is Checked Before It Ships
- The company states it runs its own professional QC team
- Welds are ground and finished to match the surface of the ribbon, not left raised
- Surface finish applied uniformly across the entire piece to avoid patchiness
- Wooden case packing protects the sculpture during transit, especially for mirror or painted finishes
Customization
What Can Be Changed to Suit You
- Any size to specification; the company states spheres from 25 mm to 10 m in diameter, and this applies to ribbon forms as well
- Mirror, brushed or painted finish based on the garden’s lighting and colour scheme
- #304 or #316 stainless steel selected based on environmental exposure
- Corten steel option available for a weathered, organic look in a garden setting
- Ordered from a photograph or a drawing supplied by the customer
- Base and fixing detail designed to suit the garden’s paving or foundation
Comparison
How It Compares With the Alternatives
| A standard off-the-shelf garden sculpture | Off-the-shelf pieces come in fixed sizes and forms; this one is built to fit the exact dimensions and character of the garden courtyard |
|---|---|
| A painted mild steel sculpture | Painted mild steel may require repainting every few years; stainless or corten steel holds its finish over time |
| A fibreglass ribbon sculpture | Fibreglass is lighter and cheaper but cannot be mirror polished and is less durable in outdoor conditions |
| A bronze sculpture | Bronze is heavier and more expensive; this piece offers similar visual impact with lower weight and maintenance |
Use Guide
Fitting and Running It
- Define the sculpture’s size against the garden courtyard’s dimensions, not against a standard catalogue size
- Place the piece where it can be viewed from multiple angles, with light passing across the surface
- Ensure the base and fixing are designed for the garden’s surface type and expected wind load
- Clean mirror or brushed finishes with water and a soft cloth; avoid abrasives that damage the surface
- Choose #316 stainless steel if the garden is near the sea or regularly exposed to salt spray
- Plan 25 to 30 days production time plus sea freight from the date the garden must be completed
