Design details

Big ideas often start small, our often start with a sketch to help bridge the gap between a dream and the reality.

There is a magical element to Torus as you look into the mirrored surface, you curiously 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.”

Client, Country

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.

Torus can be equally sited in an interior setting to have an effect of increasing the space.

It may be wall-mounted or freestanding. When wall-mounted, floorspace is retained whilst visually the interior space is significantly extended.

LED lighting at the base of the aperture provides unique and subtle illumination of Torus.

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.
