Product details
Coming Soon — Q3 2026.
The Axel Saguaro is the next sculpture in the line. A heavy-gauge steel saguaro, handcrafted in the Los Angeles studio. Single integrated form, steel all the way down — no separate base plate, no bolted-on parts. Built to live outside.
Available in two sizes — 36" and 48" — across the same nine finishes as the Axel Agave. Currently in the design and prototyping phase. The product page will go fully live with photography, lead times, and ordering once the first batch is finished.

Materials & Craft
Materials & Craft
Heavy-gauge steel, hand-cut and hand-welded in Los Angeles.
The base is continuous with the leaves — steel all the way down, no separate plate bolted on. Every piece is one integrated sculpture.
Finish: weatherproof patina, torch-treated by hand. Color deepens slightly over the first few weeks outdoors, then stabilizes.
Every sculpture is one of a kind. Small variations in finish, leaf shape, and texture are part of the hand-made process. No two are identical.
Made by Alexander Archondakis.
Outdoor Durability

- Holds up to sun, rain, and salt air for decades

- No maintenance required — never needs painting, sealing, or watering
- Fire-safe
- Open base drains freely — water passes through, won't pool
Indoor display works too. No special considerations.

What is the Element Protection Kit?
What is the Element Protection Kit?
The Element Protection Kit combines two upgrades into one — a ground anchor stake for permanent outdoor installation, and a clear weatherproof seal to protect the finish. +$30.
Ground anchor: A 3/8 in steel stake is welded to a base plate and passes through the sculpture into the ground. No concrete required. Keeps the piece stable in soil, gravel, decomposed granite, or any setting where wind or shifting could be an issue.
Outdoor seal: A crystal-clear enamel coat applied by hand over the painted finish. Adds weather resistance against sun, rain, salt air, and snow — recommended for coastal homes, desert climates, and any piece living outside year-round.
Skip it if you are displaying the piece on a solid patio, deck, or indoor surface in a mild climate. The standard freestanding base and unsealed finish are built to last — this kit is for tougher conditions or permanent in-ground placement.
