Outdoor Stainless Steel Metal Fish Sculpture Matt Finish
An outdoor stainless steel fish sculpture with a matt finish is designed to stand in public spaces such as gardens, squares, or hotel courtyards, where its form and surface texture interact with light and shadow over time. This piece is a hollow metal sculpture made from 304 or 316 stainless steel, shaped to resemble a fish in a stylised, abstract form. The listed size is custom size, and like almost every item in this catalogue, it is made to any dimension on request. The matt finish reduces glare and highlights the sculptural form without reflecting the surroundings, making it suitable for spaces where a subtle presence is preferred.

- Custom size as standard, not a special order, allowing the piece to fit precisely into the intended space
- Stainless steel resists corrosion and high temperatures, ideal for long-term outdoor exposure
- Wooden crate with inner plastic or foam packing protects the surface during transit
Application Scenarios
Where It Is Installed

Comparison
How It Compares With the Alternatives
| A mirror polished fish sculpture | A mirror finish reflects the surroundings and can create visual noise in open spaces; a matt finish focuses attention on the form and texture instead |
|---|---|
| A painted steel fish sculpture | Painted steel may chip or fade over time; stainless steel maintains its finish without degradation |
| A corten steel fish sculpture | Corten changes appearance over time with weathering; this piece retains its original matt surface permanently |
| A fiberglass fish sculpture | Fiberglass is lighter and cheaper but cannot be formed into complex metal curves and lacks the durability of stainless steel |
Use Guide
Fitting and Running It
- Choose the size based on the space it will occupy, not on a standard catalogue dimension
- Place the sculpture where its form and texture can be appreciated from multiple angles
- Specify 316 stainless steel if the site is near the coast or uses de-icing salts in winter
- Avoid placing the sculpture in areas with direct, harsh sunlight if a matt finish is not desired
- Plan 25 to 30 days for production and 15 to 20 days for transport when scheduling the installation
- Ensure the foundation and fixing system are sized for wind load and stability at the final scale
