The amusing balloon-shaped furniture of Korean artist and designer Seungjin Yang

Seungjin Yang’s innovative approach to furniture design combines the whimsical essence of balloons with the durability of modern materials. His unique creations, which include chairs, stools, and benches, are crafted from actual balloons coated with epoxy resin, resulting in sturdy, functional pieces that defy expectations. The South Korean artist’s work is characterized by its playful, candy-colored aesthetic that brings a sense of joy and nostalgia to any space. Each piece is meticulously handcrafted, undergoing multiple layers of resin application to ensure strength and durability.

Yang’s designs have captured the attention of the design world, leading to a commissioned piece for fashion house Dior during Milan Design Week. These balloon furnishings are not only a testament to Yang’s artistic vision but also to the possibilities of transforming everyday materials into extraordinary objects of design. The process, which takes about two weeks for each piece, involves inflating the balloons into various shapes, then solidifying them with the resin to create furniture that is both glossy and hard.
