{"product_id":"apo-silver-coral-wall-plaque-90cm","title":"Apo Silver Coral Wall Plaque - 90cm","description":"\u003ch5\u003eDescription\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Apo is a 90cm circular aluminium wall plaque with a coral-inspired relief pattern covering roughly half its surface, leaving the remaining half in smooth brushed metal. The relief work mimics the branching, organic structure of shallow-water coral formations, with each branch and void cast directly into the aluminium and hand-finished to a raw silver texture. The piece weighs 5.7kg and mounts flat to the wall via concealed fixings on the reverse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as sculptural wall art rather than purely decorative accent, the Apo works above a console table in an entrance hall, behind a sofa in a living room with neutral walls, or as a focal point in a dining room where the metal can catch and reflect both natural and artificial light. The 90cm diameter and 13cm projection give it enough presence to hold a wall alone without needing to be grouped with smaller pieces. The raw aluminium finish pairs with grey, white, taupe and cool-toned interiors, and the organic coral motif softens the industrial material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach plaque is hand-finished after casting, so the texture and tonal variation in the silver finish differ slightly between individual pieces. The brushed sections show directional grain from the finishing process, while the coral relief areas have a rougher, more matte surface that reduces reflections. The 5.7kg weight requires the plaque to be mounted on a solid wall using appropriate fixings for the substrate — plasterboard alone will not support it without additional reinforcement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimensions (WxDxHcm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e90 x 13 x 90\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSilver\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAluminium\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTexture\/Finish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRaw Finish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5.7KG\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is the plaque mounted to the wall?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Apo has concealed fixings on the reverse that allow it to sit flat against the wall. At 5.7kg, it requires solid wall fixings — use wall plugs rated for the substrate (brick, concrete block, timber stud) and ensure they can support at least 8-10kg to account for dynamic load. Plasterboard alone will not hold the plaque without additional reinforcement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the finish vary between pieces?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Each plaque is hand-finished after casting, so the directional grain in the brushed sections and the texture in the coral relief areas differ slightly between individual pieces. This is a characteristic of the hand-finishing process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan it be hung outdoors?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe raw aluminium finish is not sealed or lacquered, so exposure to moisture and weathering will cause oxidation and tonal change over time. The plaque is designed for indoor use where the finish remains stable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is the aluminium cleaned?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWipe gently with a dry microfibre cloth to remove dust. For fingerprints or smudges on the smooth sections, a barely-damp cloth is acceptable, but avoid soaking the relief areas where moisture can sit in the voids. Do not use abrasive cleaners or polishes, as they will alter the raw finish.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Libra Interiors","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51725144031499,"sku":"703149","price":288.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8993\/3835\/files\/703149_libra_3a234ba1-f3e5-4197-9feb-0961932f13d4.jpg?v=1750339621","url":"https:\/\/niori.co.uk\/products\/apo-silver-coral-wall-plaque-90cm","provider":"Niori","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
