Turbo Dolphin /1 by Toby Southan

Turbo Dolphin /1

At nearly 6 meters long, this larger-than-life dolphin sculpture symbolises boundless creativity and the power of play. Built with the craftsmanship akin to constructing an automobile, it invites you to sit and ride as though you’re atop a rocket-powered sea creature, inspired by both the majesty of nature and the limitless possibilities of human ingenuity.

The Hare and The Tortoise /1 by Toby Southan

The Hare and The Tortoise /1

“This piece reflects my journey into economics, driven by frustration and a desire to understand how the world works. The artwork symbolises the current economic system, contrasting two opposing mindsets. The hare represents short-term thinking—fuelled by cheap credit, instant gratification, central planning, and debt-driven practices. The Tortoise, in contrast, embodies a long-term perspective, focused on delayed gratification and saving for the future.

Ghost /7 by Toby Southan

Ghost /7

“This sculpture is a tribute to the Koenigsegg Ghost Squadron, where I’ve taken the 2D features of the iconic emblem and reimagined them into a lifesized, three-dimensional form. By capturing the essence of the Ghost emblem, I transformed it into an artistic rendering that exudes both power and fluidity, reflecting the high-performance spirit of the car while also giving it a dynamic, almost ethereal quality.

Scorpion /1 by Toby Southan

Scorpion /1

The Scorpion is a handcrafted sculpture that merges nature’s ingenuity with the sleek aesthetics of avionic & space-age design. Its form draws subtle inspiration from the scorpion—a creature perfectly designed for life on land. This grounded predator finds itself reimagined as a spacecraft-inspired creation. In space, form doesn’t need to follow the rules of function—it’s free to simply captivate. The Scorpion takes that freedom and runs with it, transforming an Earth-bound creature into something that feels at home among the stars. It’s a piece that celebrates the unexpected connections between nature and design, inviting you to pause, tilt your head, and wonder: why not let a scorpion take flight?

Thunder Bird /1 by Toby Southan

Thunder Bird /1

Thunder Bird is an imagined evolution of flight. A seamless fusion of eagle and aircraft, shaped as if nature itself had designed a jet. Its streamlined form sweeps forward into a poised, beak-like nose, with surfaces that flow like muscle and metal in unison. Every contour suggests speed and precision, not in mimicry of either creature or machine, but as the natural outcome of both. In Thunder Bird , the predator’s spirit and the engineer’s vision meet in one pure, aerodynamic silhouette.

Apesanteur /7 by Toby Southan

Apesanteur /7

A form that came to me in my sleep.

Shark Nose /7 by Toby Southan

Shark Nose /7

This sculpture embodies the spirit of both automotive engineering and the raw power of nature. Inspired by the Ferrari 156 F1 "Sharknose"—a symbol of speed and innovation in the world of Formula 1—I crafted a downscaled version, blending the car's iconic front-end design seamlessly with the body of a shark. The result is a fluid, aerodynamic fusion that channels the cutting-edge performance of the car into the natural form of a predator.

Spirit of Jessica /7 by Toby Southan

Spirit of Jessica /7

Conceived during a time of transition, Spirit of Jessica reimagines a familiar symbol of motion and aspiration through a deeply personal lens. Built around my fiancée’s height and form, the piece fuses mechanical precision with human reference—an emblem not just of luxury, but of resilience, intent, and the unapologetic momentum we created together.

Moonlight /7 by Toby Southan

Moonlight /7

Playing with light and reflection. This sculptural lamp mimics the way the moon reflects sunlight, casting its glow back down to Earth. Here, a spotlight meets the sphere, transforming it into a ‘moon’ that radiates light onto the surface below.

Norbury Orbit /1 by Toby Southan

Norbury Orbit /1

Handcrafted from storm-felled ash near my narrowboat on the canal at Norbury, this UFO-inspired coffee table blends natural resilience with sculptural design. Resting on shaped legs beneath a brass dome, it gives new life to wood too good to burn.

Falcon 1/(sold) by Toby Southan

Falcon 1/(sold)

Sleek, powerful, and aerodynamic—this falcon sculpture blends nature’s precision with engineering excellence, reimagining the bird of prey with the raw power of a jet engine. By capturing only its most prominent features, the design distills the falcon’s essence while maintaining the smooth, vessel-like aesthetics of a vehicle. A fusion of avian grace, speed, and innovation, where organic form meets mechanical power.

Hyper Duck /1 (sold out) by Toby Southan

Hyper Duck /1 (sold out)

I’ve always been impressed by ducks. They’re incredibly versatile—able to swim, fly, survive in vast numbers, and effortlessly adapt to their environment, all while maintaining their charm. And let’s not forget, they taste amazing with a bit of hoisin sauce wrapped in a pancake. But this duck? He’s taking things to new heights—with a rocket strapped to his rear!

Pussy Wagon /1 by Toby Southan

Pussy Wagon /1

Over the years of building cars, the process almost becomes second nature—like muscle memory. We would often work closely with the customer, taking into account various design criteria, sketches, and a collection of photographs. With those rough guidelines in mind, I would imagine the forms and bring them to life. With the Pussy Wagon , I had a vision of a fluid, vintage car-esque shape and just ran with it. It was a lot like coach-building, but with a far more artistic twist. Why Pussy Wagon ? Well, it’s pretty obvious—it’s the futuristic pimp's choice of vehicle.

Hyper Drive /10 by Toby Southan

Hyper Drive /10

The Tortoise continues its relentless pursuit of innovation, this time in a more compact form. A refined design with a smaller, more efficient engine that still packs a punch. This desktop-sized version retains the raw power and precision of the original, offering a piece of engineering mastery in a refined, accessible scale.

Hyper Can /10 by Toby Southan

Hyper Can /10

“Hyper Can came to life after spending some time in Barcelona. I was new to skateboarding, with very little confidence. It was something I always thought was really cool, but never tried as a kid. So, I picked up a board and headed to Barcelona, the European skateboarding capital, to visit some friends. Not a bad place to learn, right? But man, this shit was hard.

Typhoon /1 (sold out) by Toby Southan

Typhoon /1 (sold out)

“Typhoon is a desktop sculpture born from my fascination with how water clings to surfaces—especially how it flicks up the back of a wheel, defying gravity as it dances along the surface. This curious phenomenon led me to think about the interplay between gravity, waves, and the natural world. The way water moves—fluid, unpredictable, yet beautifully controlled—served as the inspiration for this piece.

King Cobra /1 by Toby Southan

King Cobra /1

This sculpture captures the essence of nature’s elegance, drawing inspiration from the striking form of the King Cobra. I’m fascinated by how the snake flares its ribs, creating a hood-like shape that seamlessly flows into its body, giving it a powerful, commanding presence. It’s a bold presence, much like the Shelby Cobra—an underdog in the world of performance cars, yet one that punches far above its weight.

Off The Gas /1 (sold out) by Toby Southan

Off The Gas /1 (sold out)

“Handcrafted in the wake of a closed-down business in the automotive industry, this sculpture embodies the concept of slowing down after the storm has passed. The chaos is over, and now it’s time to take your foot off the gas and take things as they come.

Jet Fisher /20 OEM by Toby Southan

Jet Fisher /20 OEM

“This sculpture is a dream realised—a shape that I can only pin to one thing: the graceful flight of the Kingfisher. Inspired by these elegant birds swooping through the British canal system on a blissful summer's day. Having spent a lot of time living on the canal, I grew increasingly fond of the Kingfisher’s effortless elegance. Their flight, their precision, and their quiet power are all reflected in this avionic form.

Sea Wasp /1 by Toby Southan

Sea Wasp /1

Sea Wasp is a striking fusion of two of nature’s most formidable predators: the deadly, precision-driven wasp and the fluid, elusive form of a sea creature. The sculpture features a wasp-like torso, sleek and menacing, with tentacles extending from around its mouth—its primary method of grabbing prey. These tentacles, reminiscent of a squid's, coil and reach with a deadly grace, showcasing its ability to strike swiftly and without warning.

Lubber Wheel /1 by Toby Southan

Lubber Wheel /1

“Lubber Wheel is a sculpture that captures the imperfect, inefficient process of building and designing cars. Much like a thirsty, inefficient V8 engine that demands constant fuel to keep running, the creation of these machines is a messy, clumsy endeavor. It’s not always smooth or elegant, but it’s driven by passion, time, and heart.
