Design details

A watercolour sketch shows a large green torus stainless steel sculpture on a lawn, surrounded by trees. People sit at a table near a brick building; one view shows figures observing the contemporary abstract sculpture from a terrace.

Big ideas often start small. We often start with a sketch to help bridge the gap between dreams and reality.

Two people work in a workshop: one welds a metal structure on the left, while the other polishes a large, shiny stainless steel abstract sculpture resembling a torus, its reflective surface mirroring their images and the contemporary workspace.

There is a magical element to Torus. Curiously, when you look into the mirrored surface you do not see your own reflection due to the aperture and convex nature of the piece.

“The Torus has been a key central focal point in our yard, just attracting anyone who comes here. It ‘magnetically’ draws them over to see it.”

A large circular torus, a contemporary abstract sculpture made in stainless steel and slate with a hole in the centre, stands on a grassy lawn near a reflective pond. Manicured bushes and flowers bloom nearby under a partly cloudy sky.

An alternative experience of Torus can be created by incorporating a natural stone to contrast with the front-facing stainless steel. Manual rotation provides the opportunity to engage with Torus’ contrasting personalities.

Equally, Torus can be sited in an interior setting, which has the optical effect of increasing the space.

A shiny, torus-shaped stainless steel contemporary abstract sculpture with concentric rings and radial lines stands in a modern indoor space, reflecting its surroundings. People and glass balustrades are visible against white walls and overhead lighting.

It can be wall-mounted or freestanding. When wall-mounted, floorspace is retained while visually extending the sense of interior space.

A large, circular torus stainless steel sculpture with a hole in the centre stands on a paved area outside a modern building at dusk. Its smooth, reflective surface and contemporary abstract design are complemented by landscaped grounds and curved walkways.

Torus is subtly illuminated via LED lighting at the base of the aperture.

Product information

David Harber provides a steel tube which is cast into the ground by the client at the desired location and secured with a concrete foundation. The Torus is then fixed onto the tube once the concrete has been cured. The size of the foundation tube is dependent on the size of Torus chosen. There are other installation methods possible.

It is possible to incorporate a low voltage LED uplighter in the bottom of the central aperture which provides a stunning lighting effect at night. We supply the driver but this will require a conduit plus drawcord to be installed for the electricity supply.

Installation and delivery are included in the price for UK commissions, and for overseas shipping quotes can be obtained and charged at cost.

We would recommend that the Torus be cleaned when necessary with warm water and a very soft cloth and then rinsed with warm clean water. Once dry, it can be polished with glass cleaner and a soft lint free cloth. Use of any abrasive cleaner will damage the finish and must be avoided. Maintenance instructions will be issued on installation.
