Beech Leaf Sphere Sculpture

Symbolising growth, renewal, and the quiet power of nature, our Seed Sculptures are a stunning fusion of organic form and expertly handcrafted steel.

Designed and forged in our countryside studio, each piece takes inspiration from natural seed pods and botanical structures, reinterpreted through elegant flowing lines and bold finishes. Whether showcased as a singular statement or arranged in a clustered installation, these sculptures provide a captivating focal point for gardens, courtyards, or modern landscapes.

Available in galvanised, verdigris, rustic, or gold patinas, the Seed Collection combines sculptural beauty with meaningful symbolism — celebrating new beginnings and crafted to endure through every season.

Rustic Patina Beech Leaf Sphere Sculpture

One of our most illustrious creations — the Beech Sphere Sculpture. A pure celebration of nature captured in exquisite art form. The journey begins the old-fashioned way: pencil to paper. Charles hand-draws each intricate design in his studio, shaping the sphere’s details and overall vision before defining sizes, measurements, and dimensions.

Once satisfied, the “hanging basket” style mold frames are secured onto the foot plate, ready for the careful assembly of each hand-textured beech leaf. Each leaf is meticulously cut in a variety of sizes, then heated to extraordinary temperatures. Using a special mold and press, the team stamps in the delicate leaf veins one by one. While still glowing hot, the pieces are fine-tuned on the anvil, shaped precisely to fit the design, and then gently placed around the mold, gradually forming the flawless spherical shape.

To ensure perfect symmetry, the sphere is crafted in two halves. These are lifted from the mold frames and carefully welded and infilled once joined. After full assembly and approval by the team, the sculpture undergoes a thorough sandblasting process, delivering an immaculate finish regardless of the chosen patina.

Our spheres are available in a luxurious rustic patina, developing a stunning golden-orange hue over time, or in hot-dip galvanised finish, providing a lifetime of protection with a sleek silvery-grey appearance. For those seeking a personal touch, we also offer full powder coating in any RAL colour, allowing you to customize your sculpture’s finish. With a variety of sizes, patterns, and finishes to choose from, the Beech Sphere Sculpture is a standout feature, perfect for elevating any garden or outdoor space with timeless elegance.
