Design by Natalia Pogudina
This 1.5 mm raw steel low poly elephant head is a contemporary wall sculpture delivered as an assembly and welding kit. A strong, symbolic, and graphic design, perfect for a modern interior or professional space.
Dimension order to be confirmed with the workshop (assumed width/height/depth).
For this model, your order includes:
Depending on the model, our manufacturing guides may also include: part placement, detailed bending guide, assembly guide, or interactive 3D .PDO view.
A 3D .PDO file, when provided, can be opened with PaperMaker to rotate the model, observe it from all angles, and better understand the position of the different parts during assembly. More information: papercraft-maker.com

Dashed micro-cuts
Small, discontinuous laser micro-cuts define the fold line and reduce the necessary effort. Depending on the part and angle, folding can be done by hand, on the edge of a workbench, with bending pliers, or using a vise. No press brake required.
The DASHED method precisely guides the fold line and reduces the effort required. The final angle remains under the user's control.
We cut and form the parts in our workshop. You receive the elements already folded, but still unassembled: assembly and welding remain your responsibility.

The actual prices for each option are defined by the product variants in the store.
Folding marks (engraved or DASHED depending on the chosen option) are indicated on the provided plan. A clamp may be useful for holding certain parts during assembly.
Positioning, tack welding, welding, and finishing help achieve the final geometry of the sculpture.
Each facet is designed for a modern and impactful result.
We ship the cut sheet metal unassembled in order to significantly reduce transport costs, allow for a personalized finish, and offer a much more accessible price than an assembled sculpture.
Two material options are available: raw steel, which you can paint, varnish, or powder-coat yourself according to the desired look, or Corten steel, which naturally develops its protective rust patina without treatment.
The kit is ideal for welders, metalworkers, artists, experienced DIYers, decorators, and businesses.

At 4A Metal, we produce in our workshop in France. We prioritize precision, quality, and industrial independence. Buying from us means supporting an independent metal workshop and local manufacturing.
The Low Poly style is based on a geometric construction composed of polygonal facets. Each face catches light differently, creating a modern and architectural play of shadows. The result: a minimalist, contemporary, and graphic sculpture.
Kit-based sculpture is our specialty — discover how our laser-cut parts are born.
