What This Piece Is
A custom corten steel sculpture shaped like a swaying grass form, built to your specified size and curvature rather than a fixed catalogue dimension. The piece uses corten steel, which develops a stable rust patina over time, giving it a natural, weathered appearance suited to outdoor gardens and landscapes. Kapur Sculpture fabricates it from your photo, drawing or 3D file, and inspects it at every stage from production through to loading on the vessel, with digital pictures provided before shipment.
Key Benefits
- Corten steel develops a stable rust patina over time, matching natural surroundings in outdoor gardens and plazas
- Made to your custom size and curvature so it fits the exact site dimensions and viewing angles
- No paint or coating required—patina forms naturally and remains stable in outdoor conditions
- Built from your photo, drawing or 3D file so your concept is produced directly without interpretation
- Inspected at all stages with digital photos sent before shipment, allowing remote approval
- Packed in a standard wooden crate with plastic or foam lining to survive ocean freight
Buyers and Specifiers
- Landscape architects specifying a naturalistic sculpture for a masterplan
- Property and hotel developers commissioning outdoor art that ages in harmony with the site
- Public art consultants managing municipal projects with a focus on material authenticity
- Interior designers needing a large sculptural form for a garden or atrium with a weathered look
- Sculpture galleries and importers sourcing corten steel works from China
What It Fixes
- Fixed catalogue sizes rarely suit a real site, so the piece is made to your exact dimensions
- Painted or coated steel fades and requires maintenance, while corten steel develops a stable patina without recoating
- Buyers cannot inspect an overseas factory, so digital photos are supplied at each production stage
- Large sculptures are damaged in transit, so each piece ships in a wooden crate with plastic or foam lining
- Designs from a photo or drawing are often rejected by overseas suppliers, but Kapur accepts them directly
- Material choice is often assumed—here, the grade is confirmed with you before cutting

Materials
- Corten steel develops a stable rust patina in outdoor exposure, suitable for naturalistic designs

What You Can Change
- Overall height and curvature set to your drawing
- Choice of corten steel for natural rust patina
- Base plate and fixing detail adapted to your foundation
- OEM and ODM orders accepted
- Any shape reproduced from a supplied sample drawing or reference photo
- Coloured or coated variants not available—patina forms naturally
Ordering and Care
- Send the site dimensions, viewing distance and a reference photo or drawing when you enquire
- Confirm corten steel is suitable for your climate—patina development depends on exposure to moisture and air
- Prepare a level concrete foundation matched to the base plate drawing supplied
- Allow crane access on the installation day for a tall piece
- Avoid abrasive cleaning tools—rinse with water and wipe with a soft cloth to maintain surface integrity
- Rinse more often in high humidity or coastal areas to prevent excessive salt deposits
How It Compares With Other Options
An honest read on the trade-offs, so the material decision is made before fabrication starts.
| Stainless steel sculpture | Stainless steel stays bright and reflective, while corten steel develops a warm, weathered patina that blends with natural surroundings |
|---|---|
| Fiberglass sculpture | Fiberglass is lighter and takes any colour, but corten steel has a more authentic, durable outdoor presence that ages in place |
| Painted carbon steel | Painted steel fades and needs recoating, while corten steel forms a stable patina without maintenance |
| Bronze sculpture | Bronze develops a green patina over time and suits figurative work, while corten steel offers a more industrial, organic form that evolves naturally |

Questions About This Sculpture
Can you make this in a size that is not listed?
Yes. Size is custom on this piece, and both curvature and height are made to your drawing. Send your dimensions and we will confirm feasibility and price.
How long does production and shipping take?
Production takes 25-30 days and ocean transport a further 15-20 days. Some items are held in stock, which shortens the production window.
Should I choose corten steel or stainless steel?
Choose corten steel for a natural, weathered look that ages in place. Choose stainless steel if you want a bright, reflective surface that resists corrosion.
Can you work from my own design?
Yes. Orders are accepted from your photo or drawing, and OEM and ODM work is welcome. Send a 3D file, a sketch or detail pictures and our design team will work from it.
How is the sculpture packed for sea freight?
Each piece ships in an outer standard wooden crate with plastic or foam lining inside to protect the surface during handling.
Can I inspect the sculpture before it ships?
Yes. Our QC team inspects at all stages up to loading on the vessel and supplies digital pictures, and your own QC team is welcome to check quality in our factory.
Do you supply a certificate or load calculation?
Certification and structural documentation are confirmed per project. Tell us what your local authority requires when you send the enquiry.
