Key Benefits
What This Nozzle Gives You
- Large scale from 3 to 9 meters allows the piece to anchor a significant open space

- 304 for general outdoor use or 316 where exposure to salt or harsh weather is expected
- Mirror, brushed or painted finish applied to the same shell, ensuring consistency across the surface
- Custom size as standard, not a special order, with production time stated as 25 to 30 days
- Wooden crate with internal plastic or foam packing protects the surface during transit
Application Scenarios
Where It Is Installed
- A civic square where a single sculptural form must define the centre of an open paved area
- A residential or commercial forecourt that needs a permanent landmark without a figurative theme
- A public garden or park entrance where the sculpture acts as a visual threshold
- A corporate campus or university plaza where the piece reads against architecture and landscape
- A public art installation in a city square where the sculpture reflects sky, people, and surroundings
Who It Is For
Buyers Who Specify It
- Landscape architects specifying a large-scale abstract form for a public square
- Property developers commissioning a permanent art feature for a mixed-use development
- Art consultants sourcing a durable, low-maintenance sculpture for a public space
- Municipal clients replacing a temporary or deteriorating feature with a long-term solution
- Urban design studios integrating sculpture into a new public realm project
Problems It Solves
What It Fixes on the Line
- An open square with no visual anchor that feels empty or unremarkable
- A site that needs a large-scale object but lacks room for a figurative or representational piece
- Off-the-shelf sculptures that come in only a few sizes and do not fit the space
- A commission based on a photograph or concept drawing with no technical details
- A need for a durable, low-maintenance sculpture that will not require repainting or repair
Technical Features
How It Is Built
- Hollow shell formed from two hemispheres over a mould and welded together
- Weld joint ground and polished to be invisible on the finished surface
- 304 or 316 stainless steel body selected based on environmental exposure
- Surface finish applied after welding: mirror, brushed, or painted from the same base shell
- Custom size available from 3 to 9 meters, not limited to standard catalogue dimensions
Materials
Body Materials and Where Each One Suits
- 304 stainless steel for general outdoor exposure in urban or suburban environments
- 316 stainless steel for coastal areas or locations where road salt is used in winter
- Mirror polish to reflect the surrounding environment, sky, and movement
- Brushed finishing to reduce glare and hide minor surface marks
- Painting where the design calls for a specific colour rather than reflective surface
Manufacturing Process
How the Part Is Made
- Scheme design developed against the site, including form, scale, and finish
- Small model created and scaled up, with internal support structure designed in parallel
- Plaster mould taken from the model to form the shell
- Steel plate forged to the mould and ground repeatedly to build the shell thickness
- Surface polished, brushed, or sprayed after welding and grinding
- Welded assembly and installation on site, with joint finished out after positioning
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 with the surface
- Repeated grinding before surface treatment ensures a smooth base
- Internal plastic or foam padding in the wooden crate protects the surface during transport
Customization
What Can Be Changed to Suit You
- Any size between 3 and 9 meters, or custom size beyond that range
- Mirror, brushed, or painted finish applied to the same shell
- 304 or 316 stainless steel selected based on site exposure
- Ordered from a photograph or a drawing supplied by the customer
- Base and fixing details designed to suit the installation site and wind load
Comparison
How It Compares With the Alternatives
| A painted mild steel sculpture | Painted mild steel is cheaper initially but requires repainting every few years; stainless steel maintains its finish without maintenance |
|---|---|
| A fiberglass sculpture | Fiberglass is lighter and cheaper at large sizes but cannot be mirror polished and is not suitable for long-term outdoor exposure |
| A corten steel sculpture | Corten is chosen when the surface is meant to weather and change over time; this piece is intended to remain unchanged |
| A bronze sculpture | Bronze develops a patina over time; this stainless steel piece is designed to reflect the environment without altering its surface |
Use Guide
Fitting and Running It
- Set the diameter against the scale of the square, not against a standard size from a catalogue
- Place the sculpture where it has something worth reflecting: sky, trees, building facades, or movement
- Ensure the foundation and fixing system are sized for wind load at large diameters
- Clean the surface 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 25 to 30 days for production plus 15 to 20 days for transport from the factory to the site

What size is this outdoor stainless steel sculpture and can it be made larger?
The listed size range for this piece is 3 to 9 meters, and it is made to any size within that range on request. The company states stainless steel spheres from 25 mm to 10 m in diameter, so larger sizes are possible.
