Outdoors

Steel. Structural steel for stems and bases, engineered to carry heavy heads that move in the wind.

Stainless steel. Polished to reflect sky, water and planting, so the piece changes with the light and seasons. An occasional wash keeps the finish bright.

Moves in the wind. Mounted on springs or pivots so it sways and turns in a breeze, then settles. The prevailing wind is worth thinking about when choosing a spot.
