The Collection: A Transparent Fusion of Light & Sound
For this Lexon x Jeff Koons collection imagined with The Broad, the Balloon Dog’s signature rounded curves and reflective surface are reinterpreted in a translucent material, creating two sculptural yet functional objects: a speaker and a lamp, both designed to elevate any space.
Balloon Dog: From Ephemeral to Eternal
Originally conceived in the 1990s, Jeff Koons’ Balloon Dog is a powerful statement on childhood, play, and artistic perception. By rendering the familiar balloon animal in monumental scale and industrial materials, Koons transforms a temporary party trick into an enduring art object, challenging the boundaries between high and low culture.
A celebrated icon of contemporary sculpture, the Balloon Dog series has become one of the most recognizable symbols of modern creativity.
Now, through this collaboration, Koons’ playful aesthetic is brought to life with Lexon’s 30+ years of expertise in making design accessible to all. By transforming iconic art into functional, beautifully crafted objects, Lexon continues its mission to democratize design, making high-quality, artistic pieces a part of everyday life.
An Icon of Contemporary Art, Now a Functional Object
