Lexon and Jeff Koons Launch Chromatic Collection With Eight Colorful Balloon Dog Designs

The collaboration between Lexon and Jeff Koons was originally conceived to celebrate The Broad Museum's 10th anniversary in September 2025. Now, following that inaugural success, the Paris-based design brand has returned with something bolder. The Chromatic Collection unfolds through eight distinctive models, reimagining the iconic Balloon Dog as both a lamp and a speaker, each presented in four striking colors.

For the 2026 edition, the introduction of color added a new layer of complexity, requiring perfect harmony across finishes, tones, and materials to ensure consistency between lamp and speaker. The result is a lineup that gives each piece a distinct personality: the Balloon Dog Lamp Chromatic combines advanced lighting technology with iconic sculptural design, equipped with nearly 400 integrated LEDs that deliver up to 200 lumens of illumination while offering a palette of 9 LED colors and 9 lighting effects, each lighting animation enriched with its own sub-animations. From warm and cool white to vivid RGB tones, alongside animated effects such as rainbow, flashing, and strobe, the lamp adapts effortlessly to every mood and occasion.

The color split across the two forms is deliberate. Lamps come in Gold, Blue, Red, and Platinum; speakers return in four outstanding shades of Gold, Blue, Red, and White. Using Bluetooth 5.3, the Balloon Dog Speaker supports hands-free calls and interaction with a smartphone's AI agent directly through the speaker. Pair two Balloon Dog Speakers to create a powerful stereo experience, instantly expanding the soundstage for deeper, more immersive audio throughout a space.

Jeff Koons described what makes the pairing feel complete. "The Balloon Dog Lamp has a wide range of vibrant colors, while the Balloon Dog Speaker surrounds us with immersive sound. The two objects are an exciting way for Balloon Dog to enter into our daily lives where art, design, and technology come together," he said. Lexon CEO Boris Brault framed the color expansion as an emotional act: "With the Chromatic Collection, we wanted to push the dialogue between art and design even further. Adding color is a way to bring some emotion and joie de vivre to these special objects that live with you every day. This collection invites people to engage with Balloon Dog in a more personal way, transforming a symbol of celebration into an immersive experience of light and/or sound."

The collectibility mechanics are part of the proposition. Widely adopted by thousands of collectors across more than 90 countries, the first edition was consistently praised for its high-quality execution and its blend of design and technology. The Chromatic Collection carries that momentum into a tighter, more urgent drop format. Waitlist members receive priority access and a Collector's Kit containing gloves, a pin, and a sticker matched to their specific piece. The kit is never sold separately and exists only for those who signed up early. Each Balloon Dog bears Jeff Koons' signature engraved on its front feet, and every piece is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity featuring a hologram matched to the one placed on the packaging box.

The lamp measures 29 x 11 x 28 cm (approximately 11.4 x 4.3 x 11 inches) and weighs 1 kg. Battery life runs to five hours at 75% brightness, and the piece recharges via USB-C or wirelessly. Controls are built into the nose of the sculpture: an intuitive touch on the nose lets you change colors, select effects, and adjust brightness, a playful interaction designed to feel as seamless as it is fun.

Pre-orders for the Chromatic Collection opened March 24, 2026, exclusively at lexon-design.com, priced at $800 per piece with free worldwide shipping. The edition is time-limited, and Lexon has been direct about scarcity: the window to purchase opens once, and closes without warning. For a collaboration born inside The Broad's walls and now distributed across 90 countries, the Chromatic Collection makes the argument that the most resonant art objects are the ones you actually live with.
