This stainless steel DNA sculpture brings the double helix into three dimensions. Two broad bands wind around rows of straight crossbars, leaving open space for light and views to pass through. Fabricated from 304 grade stainless steel and finished with a classic mirror polish, the design is available in 2.4 m and 3 m heights.
A Mirror-Polished Double Helix from Every Angle
From the front, the crossbars give the sculpture its familiar DNA silhouette. Walk to the side and the curved bands overlap, making the twist more pronounced. The polished surfaces reflect the sky, planting and nearby architecture, while the open crossbars cast a striped shadow in direct sunlight.
From this angle, the outer band reflects the workshop wall while sunlight casts the pattern of the crossbars onto it.
Choose Between the 2.4 m and 3 m Versions
2.4 m (7.9 ft, approximately 94 in). The shorter version works well as a focal point in private gardens, smaller courtyards and entrance landscapes where visitors approach at close range.
Two examples of the 2.4 m version at YouFine Factory.
3 m (9.8 ft, approximately 118 in). The taller version has more presence across an open plaza, university campus or biotech headquarters entrance. The factory photo below shows its scale beside a member of our team.

Welding, Mirror Polishing and Final Factory Check
At the workshop, YouFine’s fabricators join the curved bands and crossbars, then grind and polish the visible surfaces. Once the helix is upright, the team checks the overall profile and examines the polished finish from different angles in daylight.

Placement Ideas for Gardens and Plazas
In a private yard, the helix can reflect greenery without blocking the view behind it. In a campus courtyard or commercial plaza, space around the sculpture lets visitors see the shape change as they pass. The renderings below illustrate possible settings. For exposed sites, share the location so our team can discuss material and mounting requirements.

Protective Packing and Project Quote
The factory packing photo shows protective padding around the polished sculpture and a metal frame supporting it for transport. When requesting a quote, tell us which height you prefer, the delivery city and where you plan to place the piece. A site photo or drawing helps us discuss the base, fixing method and delivery arrangements.
