BALLOON DOG JUST GOT ILLUMINATED!
Contemporary artist Jeff Koons has dedicated his life and career to creating wonder-inspiring art that sparks joy through nostalgia and familiarity as he transforms everyday objects into statements of timeless artistic creativity.
INTROCUDING LIMITED EDITION COLLECTIBLE LAMPS
Jeff Koons’ famous Balloon Dog sculpture is from his 1994 Celebration series, an award-winning collection of outsized sculpture of everyday objects that have graced places like Versailles and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.
In a stroke of genius, Jeff Koons and the legendary lifestyle accessories designer, Lexon, have collaborated to bring Balloon Dog to life in innovative household items like speakers and lamps, in celebration of The Broad’s 10th anniversary.
A FEAT OF ENGINEERING & DESIGN
The innovative lamps are born of a vision to make contemporary art more accessible and approachable, turning light into delightful a experience that is both tangible and inspiring. The sculptural form of Balloon Dog was carefully preserved in the creation of these iconic lamps, with over 50,000 hours of development and research devoted to the curve, material, tone and finishing, in order to keep the instantly recognisable and distinct form and quality that Balloon Dog is renowned for.
