French savoir faire meets the carefree joy of childhood in the form of pop culture sculptures produced by the artisans of the Leblon Delienne studio.

From Snoopy to Hello Kitty, from Batman to Harry Potter, and from Pokemon to the Smurfs, our beloved pop culture icons come to life in the hands of the talented artisans of the Leblon Delienne sculpture studio. Collaborating with the most celebrated artists and designers of our time—including Paul Cocksedge, Martin Lawrence Bullard, Kelly Hoppen, Megan Hess, Jean-Charles de Castelbajac, and Sickboy—the Normandy-based studio recreates life-size 3D models of beloved characters such as Mickey and Minnie, We Bare Bears, and Maneki-neko, and transforms them into resin, marble, or bronze sculptures. The resulting pop art figurines add a creative, playful ambiance to any interior, and demonstrate how art and pop culture can brighten a home and appeal to children and adults alike.

This book takes readers inside the atelier to follow the designers and artisans through the creative process, from inspiration to the final reinterpretation via design sketches, mold making, and hand-painted finishing touches—all rendered to the exacting standards of Leblon Delienne's rigorous craftsmanship. The mission of the Leblon Delienne workshop—an accredited Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant (living heritage company)—is to reimagine these impish, endearing characters through exceptional artistry. Published to celebrate the studio's fortieth anniversary, this exuberant book invites readers inside the blissful world of "pop sculpture."
