- A need for a sculpture that resists weathering and requires no repainting or maintenance
- A commission with a reference image but no technical drawing, requiring fabrication from visual input
Technical Features
How It Is Built
- Hollow shell formed by forging two hemispheres over a mould and welding them together

Materials
Body Materials and Where Each One Suits
- 304 stainless steel for general outdoor exposure in urban or suburban settings
- 316 stainless steel for coastal areas, high humidity, or sites where road salt is used
- Mirror polish for maximum reflection of sky, landscape, and people
- Brushed finishing to reduce glare and hide minor surface marks
- Surface finish applied to the same shell, ensuring consistency across the piece
Manufacturing Process
How the Part Is Made
- Scheme design developed against the site to determine form, scale, and finish
- Small model created and scaled up with internal support structure designed in parallel
- Plaster mould taken from the model to guide the forging process
- Steel plate forged to the mould and ground repeatedly to build the shell
- Surface polished to mirror or brushed finish, or sprayed with paint if required
- Welded assembly completed on site, with joint finished to match the surrounding surface
Quality Control
What Is Checked Before It Ships
- The company states it runs its own professional QC team
- Welds are ground and polished to be flush, not raised, ensuring a seamless surface

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 permanently |
|---|---|
| A fiberglass sculpture | Fiberglass is lighter and cheaper at large sizes but cannot be mirror polished and is less durable in outdoor conditions |
| A corten steel sculpture | Corten is chosen for its weathered, rusting appearance; this stainless steel piece is chosen for a clean, reflective, and stable surface |
| A small off-the-shelf sphere | Standard spheres come in only three sizes; this piece is made to any size from 3 to 9 meters, fitting the space exactly |
Use Guide
Fitting and Running It
- Select the diameter based on the scale of the surrounding space, not on a catalogue size
- Position the sculpture where it has something to reflect: sky, trees, building facades, or water
- Ensure the foundation and fixing system are designed for wind load, especially at the upper end of the size range
- Clean the surface with water and a soft cloth; avoid abrasives that can damage the polish
- Specify 316 stainless steel if the site is near the coast or experiences winter de-icing
- Plan 25 to 30 days for production and 15 to 20 days for transport from the order date
