The design celebrates Chesterfield's strong industrial heritage, whilst also looking forward, towards the town's future growth and development. A large weathering steel, spoked feature (representing a 'wheel' or 'cog') appears to grow out of the landscape, symbolising industry, the spokes twist upwards at the centre to form an opening flower – representing the town's growth and future, which is yet to unfold. The design of the 'flower' is influenced by the flower of the pomegranate tree, which features on the town's coat of arms. The eight petals relate to the eight twisting facets of the town's famous spire and also represent the eight community areas that make up Chesterfield. Eight sculptural dry-stone walls radiate out from the roots of the artwork, blending the sculpture with its setting.
