A tall, abstract metal sculpture from the FLO Contemporary Abstracts collection, finished in bronze and gold leaf, stands among golden ornamental grasses before a gray wooden building. Nearby, a red brick house with climbing vines completes the scene.

Design details

A tranquil garden scene with a flo contemporary abstracts sculpture made from bronze finish and gold leaf in the foreground, surrounded by lush green plants and a pond. In the background, a rustic wooden hut sits beneath tall trees and a clear blue sky.

Formed bronze material shapes FLO into a fluid, graceful silhouette. Its understated design echoes the essence of quiet luxury, inspiring a deep connection with the present moment.

FLO’s captivating form invites playful interaction, encouraging viewers to explore its beauty from various angles. As its dynamic shape unfurls, it reveals a fascinating interplay of opposing forms. At its heart lies a subtle through-hole offering a fresh perspective and a portal to the ever-changing landscape beyond.

Hot patination introduces an artisanal touch to the finishing process, giving FLO a luxurious and tactile appearance. This unique method is applied by hand, ensuring that every piece is a one-of-a-kind treasure.

Painstakingly applied by hand, a hot patination finish exudes an air of instant maturity and timelessness, as if the elements have lovingly etched their mark over time.

The exquisite 24-carat gold gilding along its interior and exterior edges gives FLO a radiant glow during the day, while internal lighting unveils its three-dimensional elegance at dusk, casting natural shadows and depth.

“My inspiration originates from the natural world, where I draw ideas from pebbles, trees, planets, fallen leaves, and landscape forms. I strive to evoke these natural objects in our nature-inspired sculptures to encourage reflection on the natural world as an endless masterpiece, shaped continually by natural processes and natural materials.”

Lior Kristal, Design Director at David Harber.

An innovative addition to the company’s portfolio, FLO draws its inspiration from the organic forms found in nature, a theme central to all David Harber works of art. The talented team at David Harber’s Oxfordshire workshop seamlessly blend craft with manufacturing, utilizing their skills and experience to create this truly collaborative piece of contemporary art.

Product information

FLO is supplied with a base plate. However, the client will need to provide a smooth and level stone or concrete pad positioned just below ground level for the plate to attach to. Stainless-steel bolts are then resin-fixed into holes and drilled into the stone or concrete pad to provide a secure fixing. It is possible to supply FLO with an LED light for which an electrical supply will need to be threaded up through the center of the concrete pad. We supply the driver for the LED lighting.

Shipping quotes can be obtained and charged at cost.

The finish will exhibit some natural weathering with age. However, periodic cleaning will help preserve its beauty. We would recommend cleaning it at least once a year but only with warm water and a soft cloth to remove any detritus. Use of any abrasive cleaner will damage the finish and must be avoided.

The gilding should be washed gently with a garden hose. A high-pressure hose should be avoided at all costs. Maintenance instructions will be issued on installation.
