  • 304 for general outdoor use or 316 where exposure to salt or moisture is a factor
  • Hollow construction keeps weight manageable at large scales
  • Corrosion and temperature resistance make it suitable for long-term outdoor installation
  • Packed in a wooden crate with inner foam or plastic to protect the surface during transit

Application Scenarios

Where It Is Installed

  • A public plaza where a sculptural form must define the centre without being figurative
  • A contemporary garden lawn that needs a modern metal feature to anchor the space
  • A shopping mall courtyard where a reflective object adds visual interest and depth
  • A hotel entrance area where the sculpture acts as a visual landmark before the building
  • An urban park where the piece interacts with light, sky and movement throughout the day

Who It Is For

Buyers Who Specify It

  • Landscape architects designing a non-figurative focal point in a paved urban space
  • Property developers commissioning a modern sculpture for a residential or commercial site

  • A need for a piece that can be sized exactly to fit a specific site without compromise
  • A client who wants a durable outdoor sculpture that does not require repainting or maintenance
  • A project with a reference image but no technical drawing, requiring fabrication from visual input

Technical Features

How It Is Built

  • Hollow shell formed from stainless steel plate, shaped to the desired abstract form
  • Welds ground and polished to blend with the surface, ensuring continuity in finish
  • 304 or 316 stainless steel body selected based on environmental exposure
  • Mirror polish or brushed finish applied to the entire surface after shaping
  • Custom size as standard, with no fixed dimensions listed in the catalogue

Materials

Body Materials and Where Each One Suits

  • 304 stainless steel for general outdoor use in urban or suburban environments
  • 316 stainless steel for coastal areas or locations with road salt exposure
  • Mirror polish to reflect the sky, surroundings, and people in the space
  • Brushed finishing to reduce glare and mask minor surface marks
  • Hollow construction using stainless steel plate to maintain structural integrity

Manufacturing Process

How the Part Is Made

  1. Scheme design developed in context with the intended outdoor space
  2. Small-scale model created and scaled up to full size with internal support structure
  3. Plate formed over a mould to match the abstract shape, with repeated grinding to refine the surface
  4. Welds ground and polished to match the surrounding finish
  5. Final surface treatment applied—mirror polish or brushed—depending on the design
  6. Assembly and fixing details coordinated for on-site installation

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 invisible after final finish
  • Repeated grinding before surface treatment ensures a smooth base
  • Inner plastic or foam padding inside the wooden crate protects the surface during shipping

Customization

What Can Be Changed to Suit You

  • Any size to specification, with no standard dimensions listed
  • Mirror polish or brushed finish available on the same piece
  • 304 or 316 stainless steel selected based on site exposure
  • Constructed from a photograph or technical drawing provided by the customer
  • Base and fixing system designed to suit the installation site and wind load

Comparison

How It Compares With the Alternatives

A painted steel sculpturePainted steel is cheaper upfront but requires repainting over time; stainless steel maintains its finish without maintenance
A bronze sculptureBronze develops a patina over time, which may not suit a modern, clean aesthetic; stainless steel retains its original surface
A fiberglass sculptureFiberglass is lighter and less expensive but cannot be mirror polished and is not suitable for long-term outdoor exposure
A corten steel sculptureCorten steel is chosen for its weathered, changing surface; this piece is chosen for its consistent, reflective finish

Use Guide

Fitting and Running It

  1. Choose the size based on the space it will occupy, not on a catalogue standard
  2. Position the sculpture where it has a meaningful reflection—sky, water, planting, or building facade
  3. Ensure the foundation and fixing system are designed for wind load, especially at larger sizes
  4. Clean the surface with water and a soft cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners that damage the polish
  5. Specify 316 stainless steel if the site is near the coast or experiences winter salting
  6. Plan production (25–30 days) and transport (15–20 days) from the date the installation must be complete
