- A project with a fixed budget that needs a durable, long-term solution without ongoing maintenance
Technical Features
How It Is Built
- Corten steel body that develops a stable rust patina when exposed to outdoor conditions
- Hollow construction with internal support designed to maintain shape at large sizes
- Fabricated from 304 or 316 stainless steel as the base material, though the final form is corten

Materials
Body Materials and Where Each One Suits
- Corten steel, which forms a stable rust patina when exposed to outdoor conditions
- 304 stainless steel used as the base material for structural integrity
- 316 stainless steel used where salt exposure is a factor, such as near coastal areas
- Plastic or foam lining inside the wooden crate to protect the surface during transit
- Weathering process is inherent to corten steel and does not require additional coating
Manufacturing Process
How the Part Is Made
- Scheme design against the site, which sets the form, scale and placement
- Small model created and scaled up with internal support structure designed in parallel
- Plate forged to shape and welded into the final form, with joints ground smooth
- Surface allowed to weather naturally, forming a stable rust patina over time
- Final assembly and packing in a wooden crate with inner plastic or foam
- Door to door delivery from factory to site, with no handling required at the destination
Quality Control
What Is Checked Before It Ships
- The company states it runs its own professional QC team
- Weld joints are ground and finished to match the surrounding surface
- Internal support structure is checked for stability at large sizes
- Packing method ensures no surface damage during transport
- Weathering process is monitored to ensure consistent patina development
Customization
What Can Be Changed to Suit You
- Any size between 3 and 9 meters, or custom dimensions outside that range
- Form and expression can be based on a customer’s design or reference image
- Internal support and fixing detail designed to match the site’s conditions
- Corten steel surface allowed to weather naturally without coating or sealant
- Ordered from a photograph or drawing supplied by the customer
Comparison
How It Compares With the Alternatives
| A mirror polished stainless steel sphere | A mirror finish reflects the environment and requires maintenance; corten steel ages naturally and does not need repainting or polishing |
|---|---|
| A painted steel sculpture | Painted steel wears off over time and needs repainting; corten steel’s patina is self-protecting and permanent |
| A fiberglass sculpture | Fiberglass is lighter and cheaper but cannot be made in corten steel and lacks the natural weathering effect |
| A bronze sculpture | Bronze develops a green patina over time, but corten steel’s rust is more consistent with natural garden settings |
Use Guide
Fitting and Running It
- Choose a size between 3 and 9 meters based on the space it will occupy, not on a standard catalogue option
- Place the sculpture where the weathering process can be seen over time, such as in a garden or open plaza
- Ensure the foundation and fixing detail are sized for wind load and stability at large dimensions
- Do not apply sealants or coatings to the corten surface, as this prevents the natural patina from forming
- Plan 25 to 30 days for production and 15 to 20 days for transport when scheduling the installation
- Specify 316 stainless steel if the site is near the coast or exposed to road salt
