Building on the success of the previous collection, eight new colorways were added, including gold, blue, red and platinum finishes, while retaining the translucent design that exposes the internal technology. Each ‘Balloon Dog’ lamp is equipped with 400 integrated LEDs, with nine LED colors and nine lighting effects. It also includes a built-in battery with up to five hours of autonomy, with wireless and USB-C connectivity. The ‘Balloon Dog Speaker’ includes 10 built-in speakers with 360° high-fidelity sound, up to 10 hours of playtime and True Wireless Stereo pairing. Every piece is engraved with Jeff Koons' signature and includes a certificate of authenticity. This highlights the merging of functional products and collector items.
