Technical Features
How It Is Built
- Hollow shell constructed from two hemispheres formed over a mould and welded together
- Welds ground and polished to be invisible on the final surface
- 304 or 316 stainless steel body selected based on environmental exposure
- Surface finish applied after forming: mirror, brushed or painted
- Custom size as standard, not as a special order, with no fixed dimensions listed
Materials
Body Materials and Where Each One Suits
- 304 stainless steel for general outdoor exposure in non-coastal areas
- 316 stainless steel for environments with salt air, de-icing chemicals or high humidity
- Mirror polish for strong reflection and visual impact
- Brushed finishing to reduce glare and hide surface marks
- Painting for colour integration into the surrounding design
Manufacturing Process
How the Part Is Made
- Scheme design developed in relation to the site and surrounding environment
- Small-scale model created and scaled up with internal support structure designed
- Plaster mould taken from the model to guide forging
- Steel plate formed over the mould and ground repeatedly to shape the shell
- Surface treated with mirror polish, brushed finish or paint
- Welded assembly completed on site to allow final joint finishing
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 surface, not raised
- Repeated grinding is part of the published method to ensure surface uniformity
- Packing in a wooden crate with inner plastic or foam protects the finish during shipping
Customization
What Can Be Changed to Suit You
- Any size to specification, with no standard dimensions listed

Comparison
How It Compares With the Alternatives
| A painted mild steel sculpture | Painted steel is cheaper initially but requires repainting; stainless holds its finish permanently, reducing long-term maintenance |
|---|---|
| A fiberglass sculpture | Fiberglass is lighter and lower cost at large sizes but cannot be mirror polished and is less durable in outdoor conditions |
| A corten steel sculpture | Corten is chosen for its weathered, evolving appearance; this stainless steel piece is chosen for a consistent, reflective surface |
| A bronze sculpture | Bronze develops a patina over time; stainless steel maintains its original finish, which is preferred for modern, clean aesthetics |
Use Guide
Fitting and Running It
- Choose the size based on the space it will occupy, not on a catalogue standard
- Place the sculpture where it can reflect meaningful elements: sky, architecture, planting
- Ensure the base and fixing are designed for wind load, especially at larger diameters
- 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 exposed to road salt
- Plan 25 to 30 days for production and 15 to 20 days for transport when scheduling the installation
