What makes concrete Moai statues so special?
Moai statues are inspired by the famous Easter Island figures and are known for their distinctive, powerful shape. The elongated faces, calm expression and robust appearance have made them popular as garden statues for many years. A concrete Moai statue instantly adds atmosphere to an outdoor space without looking busy. It is precisely the simplicity of the form that creates a strong effect.
Where much decoration is trend-sensitive, a Moai statue has a timeless character. As a result, it fits both in a modern garden with clean lines and in a more natural or rustic setting. This type of statue also works well at business premises, entrances or indoor spaces. Prefer another serene garden statue in the same material range? Then take a look at our concrete Buddha statues.

What sizes of concrete Moai statues are available?
Not every garden or space calls for the same size. That’s why the range consists of multiple dimensions. You can choose a small Moai statue as a subtle accent, but also a large Moai statue that truly draws attention.
The collection includes models of 30 cm, 40 cm, 60 cm, 100 cm, 120 cm, 150 cm, 175 cm and 200 cm. There are also special versions such as a Triple Moai statue, a Moai statue with body and a full-body model. This means there is a suitable statue for almost every place and style.
Small Moai statue
A smaller model is ideal on a pedestal, by a pond, among planting or on a terrace. These sizes are easy to combine and instantly add character to a corner of the garden without dominating it.
Large Moai statue
A large or super-sized Moai statue works perfectly as a central object. Think of placement along a garden path, at an entrance, on a spacious terrace or as a standalone art piece in an open part of the garden. The size gives the statue extra impact and makes the shape stand out even more.
Placing concrete Moai statues in the garden
A concrete Moai statue comes into its own best in a place where the shape is clearly visible. That doesn’t always have to be in the middle of the garden. Along a border, near a water feature or beside steps, a Moai garden statue can be very effective. The most important thing is to leave enough space around it so the silhouette remains visible.
Want a calm and stylish effect? Place the statue as a solitary piece. Prefer more depth in the garden? Then combine it with columns, concrete pedestals, garden vases or other concrete statues. Especially with larger models, this creates a beautiful build-up in height and structure.
Suitable for different styles
- Modern garden – as a sleek and powerful accent
- Natural garden – as a mystical element among greenery and stone
- Tropical vibe – great with bold leaves and warm materials
- Business entrance – representative and striking without being loud
- Interior space – suitable for a hallway, conservatory or covered patio
