Key Benefits
What This Nozzle Gives You
- Mirror finish reflects the sky and surroundings, making the sculpture dynamic throughout the day
- Brushed or painted finishes reduce glare and suit schemes that require muted or coloured surfaces
- Hollow construction keeps weight low at large sizes, simplifying installation
- 180 cm as listed, or any custom height to fit the space exactly
- Factory Direct and Door to Door Delivery ensures the piece arrives with the finish intact
- 304 for general outdoor use, 316 where coastal or salted conditions are present
Application Scenarios
Where It Is Installed
- A residential square where a sculptural form adds character without dominating the space
- A home courtyard that needs a focal point with a modern, reflective quality
- A public plaza where the dragonfly form introduces organic movement into a geometric layout
- A garden entrance where the sculpture marks the transition from private to shared space
- An urban installation where the reflective surface interacts with nearby glass or metal architecture
Who It Is For
Buyers Who Specify It
- Landscape architects specifying a sculptural element for a residential or civic square
- Property developers commissioning a unique feature for a private home or gated community
- Art consultants sourcing a contemporary metal sculpture with reflective properties
- Homeowners seeking a statement piece for a courtyard or garden entrance
- Urban design studios integrating kinetic forms into public spaces
Problems It Solves
What It Fixes on the Line
- A paved outdoor space that lacks a visual anchor or sense of arrival
- A home courtyard with no sculptural feature that stands out from the garden
- A commission that has only a reference image and no technical drawing
- A project needing a durable outdoor sculpture that won’t require repainting or maintenance
- A site where the existing scale of a piece doesn’t match the space, and off-the-shelf options are too small or too large
Technical Features
How It Is Built
- Hollow stainless steel body formed from two hemispheres over a mould
- Weld joint ground and polished to be invisible on the finished surface
- Material selected as #304 for general outdoor use or #316 for coastal or salt-exposed areas
- Surface finish applied to the same shell—mirror, brushed, or painted—ensuring consistency
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 sky, surroundings, and people
- Brushed finishing to reduce glare and hide handling marks
- Painting for schemes that require colour rather than reflection
Manufacturing Process
How the Part Is Made
- Scheme design developed against the site, including 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 steel shell
- Steel plate forged over the mould and ground repeatedly to form the shell
- Surface polished to mirror, brushed, or sprayed with paint
- Welded assembly on site to allow for 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 invisible
- Repeated grinding before surface treatment is part of the published method
- Wooden case packing protects the polished surface during transit
Customization
What Can Be Changed to Suit You
- Mirror, brushed, or painted finish applied to the same shell
- #304 or #316 stainless steel 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 painted mild steel dragonfly | Painted steel is cheaper initially but requires repainting every few years; stainless holds its finish permanently |
|---|---|
| A fibreglass dragonfly | Fibreglass is lighter and cheaper at large sizes but cannot be mirror polished and is not suited to long-term outdoor use |
| A corten steel dragonfly | Corten is chosen for its weathered, changing surface; this piece is chosen for a consistent, reflective finish |
| A solid metal sculpture | Hollow construction reduces weight and cost at large sizes, simplifying transport and installation |
Use Guide
Fitting and Running It
- Set the height against the scale of the surrounding space, not against a catalogue size
- Place the sculpture where it has something to reflect: sky, trees, water, or building facades
- Ensure the base and fixing detail are sized for wind load at larger heights
- Clean mirror surfaces with water and a soft cloth; avoid abrasives that damage the polish
- Specify #316 stainless steel if the site is near the coast or experiences winter de-icing
- Plan 45 days for production plus sea freight from the installation date
