Illuminated Perforated Leopard Steel Sculpture Art

This illuminated leopard-inspired sculpture is crafted from perforated stainless steel with built-in lighting effects. The hollow design allows light to spread through the surface, creating a layered glow at night. Its dynamic suspended form enhances movement and visual tension, making it suitable for plazas, entrances, and modern landscape spaces with strong visual identity.

Scenario Applications

  • Commercial settings: Office building plazas, corporate campuses, hotel lobbies, sales centers, etc.
  • Cultural & tourism settings: Cultural plazas, parks and scenic areas, campuses, exhibition halls, etc.
  • Private settings: Villa courtyards, private clubs, art galleries, etc.
  • Suitable environments: Open-air outdoors, indoor climate-controlled spaces, seaside/high-salinity environments (rust-resistant specifications), etc.
Process Details

  • A 1:1 scale model made of ABS plastic is produced using 3D printing technology; the surface is created by marking and cutting 3.0mm-thick 304 stainless steel plates, which are then forged—requiring 3,000 hammer strikes per square meter—to achieve the desired curvature, followed by seamless welding and finishing. Flat steel sections are laser-cut based on patterns generated in Rhino software and then assembled. For the brushed finish, the sculpture undergoes an initial grinding process (80-grit) to smooth out weld seams and forging marks, followed by sequential sanding with 80, 120, and 320-grit abrasives to ensure a perfectly smooth surface. Finally, a wire-drawing wheel is used to apply a brushed texture that follows the sculpture’s contours (a process demanding exceptional skill and technique). Galvanized square steel tubing is installed internally—scaled to the sculpture’s size—to enhance wind and seismic resistance, and all weld joints receive anti-rust treatment.
  • The outdoor sculptures utilize 24V low-voltage LED light sources, eliminating the risk of electric shock. Advanced power supply and control systems enable the lighting to synchronize with the rhythm of the music, producing color-changing and flashing effects.
Design Philosophy

  1. Perforated Light Structure
    The hollow stainless steel body allows light to pass through, forming soft layered illumination and enhancing visual depth in both day and night scenes.
  2. Dynamic Suspended Form
    The leaping posture creates a sense of motion and tension, making the sculpture visually active from multiple viewing angles.
  3. Nighttime Visual Focus
    Integrated lighting turns the sculpture into a clear focal point after dark, improving spatial recognition and atmosphere.
