TEARDROP
Teardrop is a highly contemporary, captivating water feature, designed to infuse any space with tranquillity and beauty.
Its unique shape is inspired by flowing water, a singular, perfect water droplet frozen in time. Its distinctive shape sets it apart from more traditional water features. The inner circle is integrated with soothing LED lights, creating a visually stunning and acoustically calming focal point.
Available in heights ranging from 4ft to an impressive 7ft.
Pricing: 4ft: £3,985 - 7ft: £6,999
Note: Can be commissioned without LED lighting.
This is also available as a sculpture.
Client Reviews
This contemporary water feature offers a striking alternative to traditional garden elements, combining sculptural beauty with tranquil motion. Its form gracefully reinterprets the natural simplicity of a single, perfect water droplet, translated into beautifully finished metalwork with a pleasing, textured surface.
Teardrop creates a profoundly calming ambience. A gentle cascade of water flows from the smaller central ring, providing a soothing acoustic backdrop. The integrated LED lighting is particularly effective at twilight and in the evening. This soft illumination highlights the sculpture’s fluid lines and the ripple textures on the metalwork, adding a dramatic yet subtle presence to the garden after dark.
Understanding that modern garden design requires versatility, clients may choose to commission this piece without the integrated LED lighting if they prefer a natural aesthetic. For settings where water is not required, the Teardrop is also available as a contemporary outdoor sculpture, allowing its elegant silhouette to serve as a standalone artistic statement.
Sculpture Information
-
To ensure your artwork is positioned exactly as intended and remains secure for years to come, all of my sculptures arrive fully ready to install.
Depending on the specific piece, your sculpture will come equipped with either stainless steel fixing lugs or an attached base plate featuring pre-drilled holes. This hardware allows the artwork to be firmly bolted directly into your chosen foundation, guaranteeing maximum support, stability, safety, and security in its new environment.
To perfectly elevate and showcase your sculpture, plinths are available in any size up to 3ft. If your site requires a grander scale, alternative sizes can be crafted at an additional cost.
Please contact me for more information or to discuss the specific display requirements for your space.

How often a piece requires cleaning will naturally depend on its specific location and surrounding environment. However, to preserve its finish and ensure your sculpture continues to look its best, an occasional wipe-down is all that is required.
Simply use mild, warm soapy water applied with a soft, damp cotton cloth or sponge to gently remove any naturally accumulated dust or dirt.
To ensure you have all the information you need to look after your new artwork for years to come, a detailed sculpture care guide will be emailed to you upon the purchase of your piece.

Every sculpture is crafted with high-quality 316 marine-grade stainless steel. As a premium, high-strength material, this specific grade offers the highest level of resistance to rusting and tarnishing. This ensures the artwork can comfortably withstand harsh weather and maintain its striking finish, even in demanding coastal locations.
The majority of my mirrored sphere balls are fabricated in 304 grade stainless steel providing a beautiful presence in any outdoor space.

As a distinctive characteristic of my artwork, I offer a unique, hand-etched flowing pattern design that beautifully accentuates the metal's light-reflecting properties. This bespoke texture catches the light as the day changes, bringing a dynamic energy to the piece. Alternatively, a classic flat brushed finish is also available across all sculptures for a clean, timeless aesthetic.
If you wish to introduce a specific palette into your space, every piece can be commissioned with a custom powder-coated finish. Guided entirely by your personal preference, you can select any desired hue to complement your architectural or garden design. Each professionally applied powder-coated finish is crafted with care and comes with a 5-year guarantee, ensuring the artwork's surface remains vibrant and protected.
