Specifying a Sculpture for a Hotel Lobby
Lobby pieces have constraints that garden pieces do not: fixed ceilings, live operations and a delivery route through a finished building.

Stainless Steel Creative Electroplated Titanium Gold Wall Decoration Design B
Stainless Steel Creative Electroplated Titanium Gold Wall Decoration Design B is a titanium gold plated 304 stainless steel wall panel built to order in our Shenzhen workshop.
Product Overview
What This Piece Is
Stainless Steel Creative Electroplated Titanium Gold Wall Decoration Design B is a titanium gold plated 304 stainless steel wall panel built to order in our Shenzhen workshop.
Wall panels cover a large plain surface at a fraction of the cost of a freestanding piece and take no floor area at all.
304 stainless steel holds its colour and surface in rain, sun and frost without paint, so a piece installed outdoors does not need repainting on a maintenance cycle.
Send the position, the height you have in mind and any drawing you already have, and a quotation follows.

Key Benefits
Why Buyers Specify This Piece
- Built from 304 stainless steel, which resists rust in open weather and washes clean with water and a soft cloth.
- Titanium gold PVD plating bonds into the surface in a vacuum chamber rather than sitting on it as paint, so the colour does not chip off an edge.
- A brushed matte face scatters light instead of throwing it back, which suits interiors where a mirror surface would be distracting.
- Lighting can be designed into the wall panel so it still reads after dark, with the cable route concealed inside the structure.
- At large scale this wall panel is trial assembled in the workshop, then split into transportable sections with the joints placed where they will not be seen.
- Wall panels cover a large plain surface at a fraction of the cost of a freestanding piece and take no floor area at all.
- Anything about this wall panel that has to change for gardens and courtyards is settled on the drawing, where changes still cost nothing.
Application Scenarios
Where It Is Installed
Set on a lawn, in a planting bed or on a courtyard paving grid, on a concrete pad or a levelled base plate.
Placed in a hotel lobby, on an arrival axis or beside a reception desk, where it is the first object a guest registers.
Placed in a living room, a corridor or a private garden, at a scale that suits a domestic ceiling height.
Fitted in a restaurant, a bar or a KTV room, where the piece has to read under low and coloured lighting.
Who It Is For
The People Who Order This
- Galleries and trade buyers reselling 304 stainless wall panels into their own local projects
- Main contractors who need the wall panel, the base plate and the crate quoted as one package
- Private clients commissioning a single titanium gold plated wall panel for gardens and courtyards
- Architects matching a wall panel to a material palette that already uses 304 stainless
Problems It Solves
What This Piece Removes From the Project
- Painted steel and cast stone sculptures chalk, streak and need refinishing after a few seasons outdoors. 304 stainless steel does not.
- Gold coloured paint scuffs on handling and dulls under cleaning. A PVD coating is far harder and takes normal cleaning without losing tone.
- Mirror surfaces can be too busy in a small room. A brushed face keeps the form readable and hides fingerprints.
- Off the shelf wall panels are never the size gardens and courtyards actually needs, so schemes end up compromised. Making this one to the drawing removes that compromise.
- Commissioning a single wall panel usually means a studio price and a studio lead time. Factory fabrication of one piece keeps both in range.
Technical Features
How It Is Constructed
- Concealed hanging system with a levelling adjustment behind the panel
- Titanium gold PVD coating applied in a vacuum chamber over a polished base
- Directional brushed finish applied consistently across panels so the grain runs one way
- Individually hung discs on a concealed backing frame
- Fabricated throughout in 304 stainless steel with matching filler where the material is welded
- Base plate and anchor pattern for the wall panel issued as a drawing before the foundation is poured

Materials
What It Is Made From
- 304 stainless steel
- Integrated LED components where lighting is specified
- Stainless or galvanised fixings sized for this wall panel and supplied with it
Manufacturing Process
How It Is Made
1
Laser cutting of 304 sheet to the developed pattern
2
Cold forming and rolling of each panel section
3
TIG welding of the seams from the inside where the geometry allows
4
Grinding and levelling of every weld until the seam disappears
5
Multi-stage polishing or texturing to the specified finish
6
Passivation and final cleaning before packing
Quality Control
What Is Checked and When
- Sheet grade confirmed before cutting
- Weld seams inspected for pinholes after grinding
- Surface checked under raking light for grinding shadows and orange peel
- Frame and base plate checked against the approved drawing
- Full assembly trial fitted in the workshop before crating
Customisation Options
What Can Be Changed
- Your own branding applied to the wall panel for resale as OEM or ODM work
- The 304 stainless grade stepped up where the piece is going within reach of salt or treated water
- Proportions adjusted so the wall panel reads correctly from the approach distance in hotel lobbies
Comparison
How It Compares With the Alternatives
Compared with Painted mild steel
Painted mild steel costs less at the gate but needs stripping and recoating once the film fails. 304 stainless steel keeps the same surface for the life of the installation.
Compared with Buying through a trading company
A trader passes drawings along and adds a margin. Here the wall panel is drawn and built by the same people you are talking to.
Compared with An imported gallery piece
A gallery wall panel arrives as it is. Working direct with the workshop means the size, the titanium gold PVD plating and the base for gardens and courtyards are decided before anything is cut.
Use Guide
Looking After It Once It Is Installed
- Rinse with clean water and dry with a soft microfibre cloth
- Use a neutral pH detergent for fingerprints and traffic film
- Keep chlorides and iron dust off the surface, especially near pools and car parks
- Never use steel wool or abrasive pads on a polished face
- Clean with a soft damp cloth only. Abrasive pads will eventually dull a PVD surface.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why 304 stainless steel rather than something cheaper
304 stainless steel holds its colour and surface in rain, sun and frost without paint, so a piece installed outdoors does not need repainting on a maintenance cycle. Painted steel and cast stone sculptures chalk, streak and need refinishing after a few seasons outdoors. 304 stainless steel does not.
Is the gold colour paint or plating
It is a titanium PVD coating applied in a vacuum chamber, not paint. That is why it survives cleaning and handling far better than a gold coloured lacquer.
Does a brushed finish mark as easily as a mirror finish
No. A brushed face hides fingerprints and light scuffing much better, which is why it is the usual choice for pieces within reach of the public.
How is a wall panel this size packed and shipped
A plywood crate is built around the finished geometry with foam on every titanium gold plated face. Large wall panels are split into sections at joints chosen during design, trial assembled in the workshop, then marked so they go back together in the same order on site.
What do you need from me to quote
The position, the height or overall size you want, and any drawing, render or reference photograph you already have. For gardens and courtyards a photograph of the space is often enough to start.
What is the lead time
Lead time depends on the size of the wall panel, the titanium gold PVD plating and how much design work it needs, so it is confirmed with the quotation rather than promised in advance. Send the brief and the schedule comes back with the price.
