1. Form and Structure
• Main Form: Modeled after the poppy flower (*Papaver rhoeas*), the sculpture features multiple stainless steel branches extending upward. These branches are arranged in a staggered pattern, adorned with numerous realistic floral blooms and interspersed with transparent spherical ornaments, creating the visual impression of a naturally growing "flower tree" with rich visual depth.
• Craftsmanship Details: The petals are crafted using a curved forging technique to faithfully replicate the natural curvature and texture of real flowers. The flower stamens are sculpted in three dimensions to enhance realism. The branches are finished in either brushed or mirror-polished stainless steel, offering a harmonious blend of metallic aesthetics and structural integrity.
• Integrated Features: The base of the sculpture is complemented by four bowl-shaped, illuminated seating units/decorative elements. These serve as both artistic landscape features and functional resting spots, thereby enhancing the sculpture's utility.
2. Materials and Fabrication
Component | Material Selection | Fabrication Characteristics
Main Branches/Petals | 304/316L Stainless Steel (316L recommended for outdoor use due to corrosion resistance) | Laser cutting, hand forging, welding and polishing, surface powder coating/fluorocarbon paint (for colored petals)
Spherical Ornaments | High-transparency Acrylic / Mirror-polished Stainless Steel Spheres | Built-in LED light sources to create a luminous effect at night
Base Seating | Fiberglass (FRP) / Stainless Steel + Translucent Materials | Built-in RGB LED strips supporting multi-color gradients and static illumination modes
3. Lighting System
• Light Source Type: Waterproof LED strips/point light sources, rated IP65 for water resistance, suitable for all-weather outdoor use.
• Control Methods: Supports light-sensing control (automatic illumination at dusk), time-based scheduling, and smart APP remote control, allowing for adjustments to brightness, light color, and flashing patterns.
• Power Supply: Typically powered by standard 220V mains electricity; a custom solar power system option is also available for locations without access to the electrical grid.
Applicable Settings
• Civic Landscapes: Urban parks, public squares, greenways, and waterfront promenades, serving as iconic artistic landmarks.
• Commercial Spaces: Commercial complexes, cultural and tourism destinations, real estate sales centers, and model home areas, enhancing the spatial atmosphere and creating "Instagrammable" photo opportunities.
• Campuses/Corporate Parks: Schools, corporate campuses, and high-end residential communities, creating distinctive landscape focal points.
• Festive Events: Flower-themed exhibitions, light festivals, and commercial visual merchandising displays - suitable for temporary installation and use.
Customization Parameters (Reference)
Item | Standard Specifications | Customization Details
Total Height | 3–8 meters | Adjustable based on site requirements; can be customized up to 15+ meters.
Petal Diameter | 0.6–1.5 meters | Individual flower sizes can be varied in design to create a sense of visual layering and depth.
Material Thickness | 2–5 mm (Stainless Steel Plate) | As height increases, the plate thickness is correspondingly increased to ensure structural safety.
Lighting Configuration | Warm White / Colored LED | Customizable options include single-color, full RGB color, and dynamic "flowing light" effects.
Surface Finish | Mirror Polish / Brushed Finish / Colored Powder Coating | Colored petals utilize fluorocarbon paint, ensuring no fading for 5–8 years in outdoor environments.
Customization Process & Key Considerations
1. Standard Customization Process
1.1. Requirements Consultation: Confirm dimensions, shape, materials, lighting scheme, and installation site/scenario.
1.2. Detailed Design: Production of 3D renderings, CAD construction drawings, and structural calculation reports.
1.3. Manufacturing & Production: Material cutting, forging, welding, polishing, surface treatment, and lighting installation.
1.4. Factory Inspection: Test assembly, lighting functionality testing, and anti-corrosion inspection.
1.5. Packaging & Transport: Wooden crate packaging and dedicated vehicle transport.
1.6. On-site Installation: Foundation embedding, main structure hoisting, wiring and commissioning, and final acceptance inspection.
2. Key Considerations
• Structural Safety: Large outdoor sculptures require structural designs that account for wind resistance and seismic stability; foundation embedding depths must comply with local building codes.
• Corrosion & Rust Prevention: For coastal or high-humidity regions, 316L stainless steel is mandatory, accompanied by surface passivation treatment to extend service life.
• Maintenance Costs: The lifespan of the LED light source is approximately 50,000 hours; routine maintenance involves only periodic surface cleaning and wiring checks, resulting in low overall maintenance costs.
