Description
The Arlow is a wall art piece made from five overlapping cast aluminium discs in matt black, each edged with a hand-finished gold rim. The discs range in diameter from approximately 25cm to 45cm and are arranged in an asymmetric cluster that reads as a single 82x88cm composition. Each disc sits at a different depth from the wall, creating layered shadow lines between the overlapping edges.
Designed for feature walls in living rooms, dining areas and bedroom spaces, the Arlow works in both landscape and portrait orientations depending on the wall shape and surrounding furniture. The matt black aluminium absorbs light rather than reflecting it, while the gold edging catches directional light from table lamps or spotlights. At 10.2kg the piece requires wall fixings suitable for the specific wall type — solid masonry fixings for brick or blockwork, hollow-wall anchors for plasterboard on stud.
The aluminium discs are cast rather than pressed, giving each edge a slight irregularity that breaks up the geometry and adds organic variation between pieces. The gold edge is applied after casting and sits proud of the black surface by approximately 2mm, defining each disc's perimeter. The 15cm projection from the wall includes the mounting bracket and the depth variation between discs, meaning the piece needs clearance from adjacent furniture or door swings.
Libra Interiors also produces a 7-disc version of the Arlow in a larger configuration. The 5-disc version suits walls between 2m and 3m wide where a centred wall art piece is needed without dominating the full height of the room.

Frequently Asked
Can it be hung in either orientation?
Yes. The asymmetric disc arrangement works in both landscape and portrait orientations. The mounting bracket on the reverse allows the piece to be hung whichever way suits the wall shape and surrounding furniture layout.
What wall fixings are needed?
At 10.2kg the Arlow requires fixings rated for at least 15kg to provide a safety margin. Use masonry fixings for solid brick or blockwork walls, and hollow-wall anchors rated for the specific plasterboard thickness if mounting on stud walls. Professional installation is recommended.
How far does it project from the wall?
The total projection is 15cm, which includes the mounting bracket and the layered depth of the overlapping discs. Allow clearance from door swings, window reveals and furniture positioned close to the wall.
Is the gold edge hand-applied?
Yes. The gold rim on each disc is applied after the aluminium casting process and sits approximately 2mm proud of the black surface, giving each edge a defined profile that catches light.
