BALLOONOVATIONS:


Trendhunter have compiled an interesting collection of 36 'Balloonovations', of which this tank sculpture caught my eye. It makes you realise the possibilities that can be achieved with a simple balloon. The trend blurb is a fitting explanation:

"The humble balloon has been a source of inspiration for people of all ages. As tots, we quickly learn that a balloon is a reward, a special and delicate toy that defies gravity and must be safeguarded closely. We grow a bit older, and a balloon is an opportunity for fun static electricity experiments on friends and an easy way to make your voice sound funny.

It's in adulthood, however, that the balloon is elevated to its most elegant levels. Now this familiar childhood toy is used for grandiose sculptures, bizarre inflatable couture and scientific innovation."
