Technical Features
How It Is Built
- Hollow shell formed by shaping metal over a mould, with two hemispheres welded together
- Welds ground and polished to be invisible on the finished surface
- 304 or 316 stainless steel selected based on environmental exposure
- Surface finish applied after shaping: mirror, brushed, or painted
- Custom diameter and shape possible, with no standard size limiting the design
Materials
Body Materials and Where Each One Suits
- 304 stainless steel for general outdoor use in non-coastal areas
- 316 stainless steel for environments with salt exposure or high humidity
- Mirror polish for strong reflection and visual impact
- Brushed finish to reduce glare and hide minor surface marks
- Painting for colour integration where reflection is not required
Manufacturing Process
How the Part Is Made
- Scheme design developed in relation to the intended site and context
- Small model created and scaled up to confirm form and structure
- Plaster mould made from the model for shaping the metal shell
- Metal plate forged to the mould and ground repeatedly to achieve smooth form
- Surface treated with mirror polish, brushed finish, or paint as required
- Final assembly and welding completed on site to ensure a seamless joint
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 before final finish
- Inner plastic or foam padding protects the surface during transport
Customization
What Can Be Changed to Suit You
- Any size and shape can be made, from small garden features to large public installations
- Mirror, brushed, or painted finish applied to the same shell for consistency
- 304 or 316 stainless steel selected based on site exposure conditions
- Orders accepted from a photograph or technical drawing provided by the customer
- Base and fixing details designed to match the installation site and load requirements
Comparison
How It Compares With the Alternatives
| A painted mild steel sculpture | Painted mild steel is cheaper initially but requires repainting; 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 less durable outdoors |
| A corten steel sculpture | Corten is chosen for its weathered, changing appearance; this stainless steel piece is chosen for a consistent, reflective surface |
| A bronze sculpture | Bronze develops a patina over time; stainless steel retains its original finish, which is better for long-term visual consistency |
Use Guide
Fitting and Running It
- Choose the size based on the space it will occupy, not on catalogue dimensions
- Position the sculpture where it has something to reflect: sky, water, planting, or architecture
- Ensure the foundation and fixing are sized for wind load, especially at larger diameters
- Clean the surface with water and a soft cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners that damage the polish
- Specify 316 stainless steel if the site is near the coast or exposed to road salt
- Plan production (25–30 days) and transport (15–20 days) from the date the installation must be complete
