Custom Sphere Fabrication

From your concept or drawing to a finished sphere with the forming route chosen for your size finish and budget.

Customisation work for landscape projects and art designs is rarely straightforward. Sometimes you need guidance on how to do it. Other times you have detailed specifications that must be met. Or an existing project needs to be optimised.

We work diligently and have invested in capacity, technology and machinery so we can offer solutions that are hard to find elsewhere. Your priorities are our priorities, and we work to find the right solution for you.

Step By Step

  1. Concept and plan

    You send a concept, sketch, photo or CAD drawing over WhatsApp or email. We confirm what is buildable at that size in that material.

  2. Solution and quotation

    We choose the forming route, confirm alloy and finish, flag the shipping constraint, and quote.

  3. Implementation and production

    Forming, welding, grinding, cutting and finishing, plus fittings, threads, bases and lighting cut-outs.

  4. Inspection and packing

    Surface and dimensional inspection, then packing built around the diameter and weight.

  5. Shipping and installing

    Express, air or sea, with loading instructions and installation guidance.

What This Covers

  • Design guidance where you do not have a detailed specification
  • Sheet development calculated by our technicians for any curve
  • Sizes with no standard mould limit above ∅200mm
  • Threading, drilling, base tubes, ribs, pedestals and LED integration
  • Mirror, brushed, sandblasted, electroplated, PVD and painted finishes

Custom Sphere Fabrication FAQ

I only have a photo of what I want. Is that enough to start?
Yes. Send it over WhatsApp. We work from concepts and drawings and calculate the forming data ourselves.
Do you charge for design work?
We provide design recommendations and installing instructions as part of the project. Tooling for a customised size under ∅250mm carries a USD 1,000 mould fee.
How long does a custom order take?
7 to 15 days for scheduled production in queue order. Steel sculptures run 15 to 30 days depending on the amount of work in the design.
Can you optimise an existing design to reduce cost?
Yes. Forming route, wall thickness, finish and segmentation all move the price, and we will tell you which lever is worth pulling.

The cheapest change to a sphere project is the one made before production starts.
