Project Cases

Seventeen installations in Norway, Singapore, Australia, Poland, Russia, the United States and China.

How a Project Runs

  1. Concept and plan

    We read your concept, sketch or CAD and confirm what is buildable at that size in that material.

  2. Solution and quotation

    Forming route, alloy, finish, segmentation and freight mode settled together, then priced.

  3. Implementation and production

    Forming, welding, cutting, grinding and finishing, plus fittings and lighting.

  4. Inspection and packing

    Surface and dimensional checks, then packing built around the diameter.

  5. Shipping and installing

    Loading instructions and installation guidance travel with the shipment.

Project Questions

Can you build something larger than a container?
Yes. The sphere is built complete, cut into quarters or eighths, and internal ribs of 5mm AISI 304 flat bar, 75mm wide, are welded and drilled so it bolts together on site.
Do you work directly with artists?
Yes. We have worked with artists, sculptors, distributors and contractors from all over the world, and we provide design recommendations and installing instructions as well as fabrication.
Can you handle thousands of identical pieces?
Yes. One installation for Publicis in Russia used 7,100 pieces of ∅51mm drilled mirror polished spheres.
How long does a project take?
Customised orders run 7 to 15 days in scheduled production. Steel sculptures run 15 to 30 days depending on the amount of work in the design.
