Symbolising growth, renewal, and the quiet power of nature, our Seed Sculptures are a striking blend of organic form and handcrafted bronze & steel options. Designed and forged at our countryside studio, each piece draws inspiration from natural seed pods and botanical structures, reimagined through flowing lines and bold finishes. Whether displayed as a single sculpture or in a clustered installation, they create a captivating focal point for gardens, courtyards, or contemporary landscapes. Available in galvanised, verdigris, rustic, or gold patinas, the Seed Collection offers both sculptural beauty and deeper meaning — a tribute to new beginnings, made to endure through the seasons.

The Seed Sculpture A pure celebration of nature, inspired by the organic forms that surround us and transformed into captivating art. The creation process begins simply—with old-fashioned pencil to paper. This is where Charles’s ideas first come to life. He hand-draws detailed sketches within his studio, carefully defining the sphere’s design, size, measurements, and dimensions. Once Charles is satisfied with the design, the “hanging basket” and our custom-made tubular mold frames are placed onto the foot plate, ready for the hand-textured leaf pieces to be assembled.
Each leaf is meticulously cut in a variety of sizes before being heated to extraordinary temperatures. Using our 1920s power hammer, the team hand-textures each piece, then fine-tunes the shape on the anvil while still glowing hot. The leaf patterns are then carefully stamped into the surface. These handcrafted leaves are slowly arranged around the mold frame, gradually forming the flawless spherical shape envisioned.
The seeds themselves are created in two halves to ensure perfect symmetry. Once formed, the halves are lifted from the mold frames and carefully lowered to be welded and infilled together, creating a seamless sphere. After assembly, and once the team is completely satisfied, the sculpture undergoes a sandblasting process to achieve a pristine finish, regardless of the final surface treatment chosen.
For all Seed Sculptures, we offer the luxurious rustic patina finish, imparting a rich, orangey tone, or a hot zinc galvanised finish, which provides both longevity and a stunning silvery-grey appearance. Additionally, bespoke powder coat colours from the RAL chart are available for a personalized touch.

The sculpture is offered in a considered scale of 225 cm in height, with a balanced footprint of 70 × 70 cm (approximately 89 in high × 28 in wide × 28 in deep). This proportion has been carefully developed to ensure a strong, elegant presence while preserving the integrity and balance of the form.
Available sizes:
2.25 m height × 0.7 m diameter / 89 in × 29 in diameter |
3.2 m height × 1.0 m diameter / 126 in × 39 in diameter |
4.8 m height × 1.5 m diameter / 189 in × 59 in diameter
Bespoke dimensions may also be commissioned, with alternative heights and proportions available upon request to suit specific settings and architectural contexts.
The bronze is patinated using traditional hot methods, an ancient process in which heat and carefully controlled chemical solutions are used to draw colour into the surface, creating depth and meaning beyond appearance alone. Applied by hand in carefully layered stages, each patination responds to the form of the sculpture and continues to evolve over time.
Patination options include Verdigris, a traditional dark bronze, and a polished bronze surface, alongside contemporary painted patination in soft whites, refined yellows, and nuanced blues. Each surface is entirely unique, shaped by hand, material, and moment, ensuring that no two sculptures — nor any individual element within them — are ever the same, and that every work exists as a personal and singular edition.
Also available in Steel Material, with Various Finishes: oxidised steel patina, hot dipped zinc finish or professionally painted patination
