A Towering Symbol of Science and Life

The KS-007 is a monumental achievement in sculptural design, capturing the iconic double helix structure of DNA in a grand, vertical format. This striking installation serves as a powerful symbol of innovation, biology, and the fundamental building blocks of life. Its soaring verticality and sophisticated geometry make it a definitive landmark for medical research centers, university campuses, biotech headquarters, or grand public plazas.

Brilliant Mirror Finish for Water and Light Interaction

This masterpiece is defined by its premium mirror-polished finish, which allows the complex helical structure to interact dynamically with its environment. When placed near water features or fountains, the highly reflective surfaces capture the shimmer of moving water and the shifting colors of the sky. Hand-crafted from superior 304 or 316 grade stainless steel, the finish is engineered for maximum weather resistance, ensuring it maintains its radiant brilliance even in high-moisture environments.

Masterful Engineering and Stately Foundation

Constructed with industrial-strength structural integrity, the KS-007 represents the pinnacle of precision metal engineering. The sculpture is anchored on a solid, polished black marble pedestal, providing a weighted, luxurious foundation that contrasts elegantly with the fluid metallic form. Every rung and curve of the helix is seamlessly welded and meticulously hand-polished to create a monolithic, professional appearance that perfectly balances scientific precision with artistic elegance.

• For sculptures, dimensions are presented as Width x Height x Depth.
• The listed size represents the sculpture’s largest measurement (either width or height). All other specific dimensions will be detailed in the CAD/3D drawings for precise reference.

Example Dimensions

• Width: 115.74inch  
• Height: 84inch  
• Depth: 34.45inch  

Custom Orders

• For custom orders, please specify your desired size.  
• If you are unsure about the exact dimensions, simply inform us of any space limitations, and we will design the piece to fit your space and vision accordingly.

Standard base

• We offer round and square bases as standard options, suitable for most settings. By default, they match the sculpture’s material, but custom materials are available on request. 
• Standard bases have an extra cost based on sculpture size (see attributes section for details). If drilling is possible at your site, we provide free angle irons to secure round or square bases for added stability. 

Anchor Plate Base

• For sites allowing ground drilling, anchor plates use expansion bolts for secure support.

Embedded Base

• The embedded base hides the support underground, giving the sculpture a cleaner, more refined appearance. This option is only suitable for soil installations and comes with an additional fee.

• To achieve a truly unique visual effect, we offer a range of premium customization options. Fees vary based on the sculpture’s size, design complexity, and required craftsmanship.

• For custom options or specific requirements, please contact us to request a quote. Our team will provide a detailed quotation and design proposal tailored to you.

How do I pay for my order?

We accept PayPal and Wire Transfer.

We offer the flexibility of a 50% initial deposit, with the remaining balance due upon the completion of your masterpiece. Please note that once the 3D blueprint is approved, production commences immediately, and the deposit becomes non-refundable from that stage onward.

Production & Delivery Time

Every sculpture from King Stone is handcrafted by skilled artisans (not mass-produced by machines) and made to order. This means we do not maintain pre-made, in-stock inventory—production begins only after you approve the design drawing.  

Our total lead time (production + shipping) is as follows:  

• Standard Shipping: Approximately 40–70 business days  

• Expedited Shipping: Approximately 30–50 business days  

Delivery Instructions

• Freight carrier shipments are delivered curbside Monday to Friday.  

• Freight deliveries require an appointment, and the carrier will contact you in advance to coordinate the delivery time, ensuring someone is available to sign for the goods upon arrival. You will typically receive a call from the freight carrier 24 hours in advance to confirm the delivery time.  

• Missed calls or failure to return calls from the delivery company may result in delays. Any delays caused by the carrier’s inability to reach you, or your refusal/delay to coordinate, may incur storage and re-delivery fees. You will be responsible for any fees charged by the freight carrier. Please stay updated on the shipping status and answer calls promptly to avoid delays.  

• Unloading: Deliveries are made curbside only, and the driver will not assist in moving items to your home. You must have 3–4 capable individuals on hand to help unload the sculpture. If there is an overhang, the lift gate cannot be used, so extra assistance will be needed to manage the crate. Please note that we do not provide installation services.  

• White-Glove Service: We do not provide white-glove service free of charge. If you require this service, please contact us, and we will provide a quotation within 24–48 hours.  

• Inspection: Please open the package and inspect the goods immediately upon delivery in the presence of the courier. If any damage is found, please note it clearly on the Proof of Delivery (POD) before signing, and take photos and videos of the damaged area from at least four different angles. Report any damage along with the photos to us within 1–3 business days for proper resolution. If the package is signed for and we do not receive a damage report within 1–3 business days, we will assume the goods were delivered in good condition.  

Force Majeure

• Neither party shall be liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement (excluding payment obligations) if such failure or delay is due to causes beyond its reasonable control. These causes include, but are not limited to: acts of God, natural disasters, epidemics, pandemics, war, acts of terrorism, embargos, sanctions, civil unrest, labor strikes or lockouts, acts of government or customs authorities, port congestion, transportation delays, or shortages of materials or labor (each, a “Force Majeure Event”).  

• In the case of a Force Majeure Event affecting the import or delivery of goods, the affected party shall notify the other party in writing as soon as reasonably practicable, providing details of the nature and expected duration of the event. The obligations of the affected party shall be suspended for the duration of the Force Majeure Event, and the time for performance shall be extended accordingly.  

• If the Force Majeure Event continues for more than thirty (30) days, either party may terminate this Agreement upon written notice to the other party, without liability, except for any obligations that accrued prior to the Force Majeure Event. The Buyer will be responsible for any collection costs, including court costs and attorney fees.
