Stainless Steel Sculpture

- Materials that degrade or require frequent maintenance in outdoor conditions
- A commission based on a photograph or sketch without a technical drawing, which can still be fulfilled
Technical Features
How It Is Built
- Hollow shell formed from two hemispheres over a mould, then welded together

- Mirror polish that reflects the surrounding environment without distortion
- Hollow construction that reduces weight while maintaining structural integrity
- Plastic or foam inner packing to prevent surface contact during transit
Manufacturing Process
How the Part Is Made
- Scheme design developed in relation to the garden space, including scale, placement, and visual impact
- Small-scale model created and scaled up with internal support structure designed in parallel
- Plaster mould taken from the model to form the hemispheres
- Steel plate forged to the mould and ground repeatedly to build the shell thickness
- Surface polished to mirror finish, ensuring a continuous reflective surface
- Welded assembly on site, allowing the joint to be finished and blended into the shell
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 with the shell, not raised or visible

Comparison
How It Compares With the Alternatives
| A painted steel sculpture | Painted steel may cost less initially but requires repainting over time; stainless steel maintains its finish permanently |
|---|---|
| A corten steel sculpture | Corten is chosen for its weathered, rusted appearance over time; this piece is chosen for a clean, reflective surface that does not change |
| A fiberglass sculpture | Fiberglass is lighter and cheaper at large sizes but cannot be polished to a mirror finish and is less durable in outdoor conditions |
| A bronze sculpture | Bronze develops a patina over time; this stainless steel piece maintains a consistent reflective surface |
Use Guide
Fitting and Running It
- Choose the diameter based on the garden’s scale, not on a standard size from a catalogue
- Place the sculpture where it has a meaningful reflection—sky, trees, or architectural elements
- Ensure the foundation and fixing are sized for wind load, especially at the upper end of the size range
- Clean the mirror surface with water and a soft cloth; avoid abrasives that damage the polish
- Specify 316 stainless steel if the garden is near the coast or exposed to de-icing salts
- Plan 25 to 30 days for production plus 15 to 20 days for transport from the factory to the site
