- Constructed from 304 stainless steel for durability in outdoor environments
- Baked lacquer paint finish resists chipping and fading under prolonged sun and rain
- Hollow forged body keeps weight manageable for installation without heavy lifting
- Form follows the buyer's layout drawing, enabling integration into site plans without standard size limitations
- Painted surface maintains consistent appearance over time, unlike exposed metal or coated alternatives
Application Scenarios
- Public plazas and urban parks where a sculptural feature adds visual interest without obstructing space
- Architectural entrances of commercial buildings or high-end residential complexes
- Landscape installations in front of galleries, museums or cultural centers

- Art consultants commissioning site-specific sculptures for urban or architectural projects
- Municipal parks departments installing permanent art elements in public spaces
- Interior designers sourcing large-scale metal art for commercial building interiors
Problems It Solves
- Standard catalogue sculptures often do not match the scale or shape required by a site layout
- Exposed metal surfaces in outdoor settings can oxidize or lose finish over time without protective coating
- Painted or coated metal pieces may chip or peel in harsh weather, requiring frequent maintenance
- Solid cast or heavy metal sculptures increase freight and installation costs
- Lack of custom size options forces buyers to compromise on design intent or site integration

- Baked lacquer paint applied in-house to ensure adhesion and weather resistance
- Hollow construction reduces overall weight while maintaining structural integrity
- Fixing details welded to the base to suit ground, paving, or embedded installation
- Finish options include baked lacquer in any colour, with samples provided for approval
Materials
- 304 stainless steel plate for the main body and structural details
- Stainless steel welding consumables matched to the parent plate to maintain finish consistency
- Baked lacquer paint system suitable for outdoor exposure
Quality Control
- Formed shape checked against the approved drawing before welding
- Weld seams inspected and dressed until they are invisible after painting
- Paint surface checked under light for runs, bubbles, or uneven coverage
- Protective film applied to all painted surfaces before crating
Customization Options
- Any size and any number of pieces built to your layout drawing
- Baked lacquer paint in any colour, with a sample produced for approval
- Fixing detail adapted to ground, paving, or embedded installation
- Sample piece produced for approval before full production begins
Use Guide
- Send the site layout drawing with the intended position and size marked
- Confirm whether the sculpture sits on ground, on paving, or is embedded, as the fixing detail differs
- Leave the protective film in place until surrounding site work is complete
- Clean with water and a soft cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners or pads on the painted surface
- Re-paint locally if a chip occurs during site work rather than replacing the entire piece
Manufacturing Process
How This Piece Is Made
- Review of the site layout drawing and agreement on sculpture size and placement
- Plate forming data calculated for each section before any steel is cut
- Hand forging of the steel plate into the brush form
- Welding of the closed body and dressing back of weld lines
- Surface grinding through successive grits to prepare for paint
- Application of baked lacquer paint in the chosen colour
- Fixing detail welded on, protective film applied, and crating for export
Every stage happens in the same workshop in Pingshan, Shenzhen, which is why a set of pieces arrives matching.
Comparison
How It Compares With the Alternatives
Compared with Cast bronze sculptureCast bronze has a traditional look but is heavier and more expensive at this scale, and requires more maintenance
Compared with Painted carbon steelPainted steel is cheaper but will rust at any chip and needs repainting outdoors
Compared with Mirror polished stainless steelPolished steel reflects surroundings but may show fingerprints and scratches more than painted surfaces
Compared with Resin sculptureResin is lighter and cheaper but fades under sunlight and cannot be painted with baked lacquer

How are the pieces fixed to the ground?
Fixing details are welded to the base and adapted to the site condition—ground, paving, or embedded installation.
Can we see a sample before the full sculpture is made?
