Manufacturing Process
How the Part Is Made
- Scheme design developed against the garden site, considering scale, light and context
- Small model created and scaled up with internal support structure designed in parallel
- Plaster mould taken from the model to shape the metal shell

- Surface treated with mirror polish, brushed finish, or paint as required
- Welded assembly and installation details finalised on site, with joint finished out
Quality Control
What Is Checked Before It Ships

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 without maintenance |
|---|---|
| A corten steel sculpture | Corten is chosen for its weathered, rusted appearance over time; this stainless piece is chosen for a clean, reflective surface that does not change |
| A fiberglass sculpture | Fiberglass is lighter and cheaper at large sizes but cannot be mirror polished and is more suitable for indoor or sheltered locations |
| A bronze sculpture | Bronze develops a patina over time; this stainless steel piece is intended to remain unchanged in appearance |
Use Guide
Fitting and Running It
- Choose the size based on the garden’s scale, not on a standard catalogue option
- Place the sculpture where it has a clear view of sky, planting, or architectural features to reflect
- Ensure the foundation and fixing are sized for wind load, especially at larger diameters
- Clean the surface 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 25 to 30 days for production and 15 to 20 days for transport from the order date
