Lexon x Jeff Koons Bring the Legendary Balloon Dog to Life with Sound, Light, and AR Innovation
One of the world’s most recognisable pieces of contemporary art is stepping out of the gallery and into everyday life. Lexon, the iconic French design house celebrated for three decades of innovation, has teamed up with internationally acclaimed artist Jeff Koons to transform his legendary Balloon Dog sculpture into two functional art pieces: a portable speaker and an ambient lamp.
Exclusively brought to Malaysia by ante, a Singapore-based curator of design-forward lifestyle objects, the Lexon x Jeff Koons Balloon Dog Collection is now showcased at the ante pop-up at SEIBU, The Exchange TRX, from today until 2 January 2026. Fans and collectors can secure their units early with pre-orders, which come with a limited-time RM400 discount, bringing the price to RM3,599 (RRP RM3,999).
Balloon Dog Speaker: When Sound Becomes Sculpture
The Balloon Dog Speaker reimagines Koons’ iconic form through a transparent, high-quality construction that highlights the sculpture’s signature curves. Beyond its striking visual appeal, the speaker houses a sophisticated acoustic system powered by Bluetooth 5.0 and True Wireless Stereo (TWS) technology.
Inside, six active drivers and four passive radiators deliver powerful, immersive 360° sound. Built-in microphones enable hands-free functionality, while more than 50,000 development hours reflect Lexon’s commitment to craftsmanship and audio excellence. The result is a work of art that looks striking and sounds exceptional.
Balloon Dog Lamp: Light as a Living Canvas
With nearly 400 integrated LEDs, the Balloon Dog Lamp turns illumination into an expressive art experience. Offering up to 200 lumens of adjustable light, it transitions seamlessly from warm white to cool white to vivid hues of blue, green, magenta, and more.
Through Lexon’s Easy Sync technology, multiple lamps can connect and synchronise, creating a coordinated choreography of colour, transforming rooms into dynamic, art-filled spaces. More than a lighting object, it becomes a centrepiece of atmosphere and emotion.
A Marriage of Art, Design & Authenticity
Every Balloon Dog edition features Jeff Koons’ engraved signature, a certificate of authenticity, and a holographic seal, solidifying its status as a collectible piece. Standing 28cm tall and weighing 900g, each edition merges museum-level design with everyday durability.
“The Balloon Dog Lamp has a wide range of vibrant colours, while the Balloon Dog Speaker surrounds us with immersive sound. These objects bring Balloon Dog into our daily lives where art, design, and technology come together,” said Jeff Koons.
“This collaboration pushed us to transcend form and function,” added Boris Brault, CEO of Lexon. “We aimed to craft designs that evoke emotion while remaining deeply usable — turning art into everyday life.”
An Immersive Pop-Up Experience at SEIBU, The Exchange TRX
From now until 2 January 2026, ante’s exclusive pop-up at SEIBU will feature the full Lexon x Jeff Koons Balloon Dog collection, alongside ante’s curated lineup of design-led lifestyle pieces. The pop-up spans both the Ground Floor and Level 2, offering an immersive space where visitors can experience the pieces up close.
Both the Balloon Dog Speaker and Lamp retail at RM3,999, with pre-orders available in-store and online via www.antelimited.com. Early buyers can enjoy a RM400 discount for a limited time.
To further enrich the experience, Lexon has introduced an augmented reality (AR) feature that lets users preview Balloon Dog pieces at real scale within their own spaces like blending art, technology, and imagination seamlessly.
