Application Scenarios
Where It Is Installed
- A private garden where a large abstract form acts as a focal point between planting and pathways
- A public park with open space that needs a modern sculptural element without figurative content
- A corporate garden or campus entrance where the sculpture reads against greenery and building lines
- A landscape design where the reflective surface captures sky and foliage, changing with the time of day

Who It Is For
Buyers Who Specify It
- Landscape architects designing a modern garden with a sculptural element
- Property developers commissioning a large-scale art feature for a residential or commercial garden
- Art consultants sourcing a durable, low-maintenance abstract sculpture for a public space
- Garden designers needing a statement piece that works with natural and built surroundings

Problems It Solves
What It Fixes on the Line
- A garden space that lacks a visual anchor despite open layout and planting
- A project that needs a large-scale sculpture but has no access to custom fabrication
- An abstract form that must reflect light and environment without requiring repainting
- A client who wants a piece that matches a reference image but has no technical drawing
- A site where a heavy or solid sculpture would be difficult to install due to weight
Technical Features
How It Is Built
- Hollow shell formed from two hemispheres shaped over a mould
- Weld joint ground and polished to be invisible on the finished surface
- 304 or 316 stainless steel body depending on exposure conditions
- Mirror, brushed or painted finish applied to the same shell for consistency
- Custom diameter as standard, not as a special order, with sizes from 3 to 9 meters listed
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 to reflect the surrounding environment
- Brushed finishing to reduce glare and hide handling marks
- Painting where the design calls for colour rather than reflection
Manufacturing Process
How the Part Is Made
- Scheme design against the garden or landscape setting to determine form and scale
- Small clay model created and scaled up with internal support structure designed
- Plaster mould taken from the model for shaping the metal shell
- Plate forged to the mould and ground repeatedly to build the shell thickness
- Surface polished, brushed or sprayed to final finish
- Welded assembly on site to allow for joint finishing and secure installation
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 ensures a smooth base
- Inner plastic or foam padding in the wooden crate protects the surface during transport
Customization
What Can Be Changed to Suit You
- Any diameter to specification, with the company stating spheres from 25 mm to 10 m
- Mirror, brushed, painted or coloured finish from the same shell
- 304 or 316 body to suit the exposure conditions
- Ordered from a photograph or a drawing supplied by the customer
- Base and fixing detail designed in coordination with the installation site
Comparison
How It Compares With the Alternatives
| A painted mild steel sculpture | Painted steel is cheaper initially but requires repainting; stainless steel holds its finish permanently, making it better for outdoor public use |
|---|---|
| A fibreglass sculpture | Fibreglass is lighter and cheaper at large sizes but cannot be polished to a mirror finish and is less durable in outdoor conditions |
| A corten steel sculpture | Corten is chosen for its weathered, changing surface; this stainless steel piece is chosen for a consistent, reflective appearance |
| A solid metal sculpture | Solid forms are heavier and more difficult to install at large diameters; this hollow design reduces weight while maintaining visual impact |
Use Guide
Fitting and Running It
- Choose the diameter based on the scale of the garden, not the catalogue size
- Place the sculpture where it has something to reflect: sky, trees, water, or building lines
- Ensure the foundation and fixing are sized for wind load, especially at the upper end of the size range
- Clean the surface with water and a soft cloth; avoid abrasives that damage the polish
- Specify 316 stainless steel if the garden is near a coastal area or exposed to de-icing salts
- Plan 25 to 30 days for production and 15 to 20 days for transport from the order date
