A Playful Shape Made of Polished Steel
This stainless steel balloon dog sculpture takes the familiar twisted-balloon animal and turns it into a lasting piece of art. The head, ears, neck, body, legs and tail each look like a separate inflated segment, and every segment pinches together at the joints just as a real balloon would.
Panel-Formed and Welded Seam by Seam
We start every balloon sculpture with a full-size model, so the curves of the ears, legs and body look right before any steel gets cut. Our craftsmen then mark each balloon segment into panels, cut stainless steel sheet to match every panel, and shape the sheet until it follows the model’s curve. Once the panels fit, we weld them into a hollow shell, grind each seam flat and check the surface by hand. This method keeps every balloon smooth and evenly rounded, so the finished stainless steel balloon dog sculpture looks like one inflated shape.
Mirror Polish That Reflects the Room
The surface is the main attraction of this balloon dog sculpture. After welding, our polishers work the whole body through several grit stages until the steel shows no waves or tool marks, so the reflections stay smooth and undistorted. A clear color coating then goes on top of the mirror finish, which makes the sculpture look like glossy balloon skin. It picks up the colors of your walls, windows and lights, and it looks a little different from every angle and at every time of day.
Colors to Match Your Space
You can choose from blue, red, yellow, orange, pink, gold and silver. Blue suit modern offices and showrooms, while red and yellow bring more energy to children’s spaces, restaurants and shopping centers. Gold adds a warmer, more luxurious tone for hotel lobbies and entrance halls. If you need a specific shade, send us a color reference and we will match it before production.
Careful Packaging for a Mirror Surface
A mirror finish scratches easily, so we pack every stainless steel balloon dog sculpture with that in mind. We wrap each rounded lobe in soft film, then add thick foam around the ears, legs and tail tip, which take the most knocks during handling. The sculpture then sits in a fitted foam cradle inside a reinforced plywood crate, so it cannot shift during sea or air freight. Before the crate closes, we send you photos of the finished piece and the packed crate.
