Illustrative elevation and plan; sculpture image adapted for the schematic. Final fabrication and mounting details are coordinated with the studio.

The illustrated pedestal is a siting concept. Stone, timber, or concrete alternatives may be considered with the recipient, subject to studio approval of dimensions, load capacity, stability, and the mounting connection. The final material and finish should respond to the architecture and setting.

Maintenance


The recycled PETG body carries applied metal coatings and a protective clear coat. The studio’s routine care guidance for interior placement is periodic cleaning with a soft cloth. Treatment beyond routine cleaning should be coordinated with the studio and the institution’s conservator.

Product-specific coating information, application method, and treatment compatibility should be established with the studio for conservation review before acceptance. No service-life guarantee is stated.
