How to Choose an XXL Sculpture (100–300+ cm)

A statement piece that defines the room

An XXL sculpture isn’t decoration. It’s a focal point that gives structure to a space—whether it’s a private villa, a modern apartment, a luxury retail environment, or a hotel lobby.

1) Pick the right size: 100 cm to 300+ cm

Think in proportions, not just centimeters. Use these as practical ranges:

  • 100–150 cm: strong presence without dominating the room (ideal for apartments, corners, near a console, or a refined entryway).

  • 160–220 cm: true “statement” territory (living rooms, double-height areas, architectural staircases).

  • 230–300+ cm: gallery-scale impact (lobbies, outdoor terraces, large open-plan villas).

  • Custom-made: when you want a perfect match for a specific volume, ceiling height, or brand identity.

Pro tip: leave “breathing space” around the sculpture (at least 60–120 cm of visual clearance depending on the room).

2) Choose a style that matches your architecture

At MONUMENTA, the most common design directions are:

  • Realistic: powerful, high-impact, instantly recognizable.

  • Abstract: timeless, contemporary, and more “art-driven.”

  • Angular / geometric: sharp lines, bold energy, modern architecture friendly.

3) Finish matters: glossy vs matte

Finishes change everything in real life:

  • Glossy: premium shine, high contrast, strong visual drama—amazing in minimal spaces.

  • Matte: softer, architectural, design-forward—perfect when you want elegance without glare.

4) Placement: where it becomes unforgettable

Best placements for an XXL sculpture:

  • Entrance / foyer: instant “wow” factor.

  • Living room: near a clean wall, a large window, or a central axis line.

  • Staircase / mezzanine: verticality makes the piece feel larger and more dramatic.

  • Terrace / garden: the sculpture becomes a landmark.

5) Lighting: the upgrade that changes everything

A sculpture looks 2x more premium with:

  • a subtle spotlight (warm, angled),

  • indirect lighting behind the piece,

  • a clean background (stone, wood, microcement, or white walls).

Custom-made (bespoke) sculptures

If you have a specific size, color, finish, or a unique installation constraint, a bespoke piece allows you to align the sculpture with your exact space and design intent.
