Tiger for Balenciaga Objects

The Tiger Sculpture’s body appears futuristically mechanical, evoking the efficiency and elegance of industrial engineering as well as the natural grace and precision of living cats. This Object is a brass masterwork made entirely by hand. It is defined by its meticulous details, including individual whiskers, vertebrae- like tail sections, and a Balenciaga logo on the crown of the character’s head. Only 15 numbered editions will be produced worldwide. Each one is made from individual components that are shaped using lost wax technique. Its parts are assembled, welded together, powder-coated, and semi-glossed manually.
