Shanghai Huangpu River Art Duck

Project Background

Custom-made exclusively for the Xiaohongshu Urban Public Art Limited Event, this giant healing floating art duck inflatable is located on the core waterfront of the Huangpu River, Shanghai. With the classic cute healing duck IP as the carrier and a trendy art painted base, it integrates youthful trendy aesthetics with Shanghai’s century-old riverside skyline, creating a city landmark-level internet-famous check-in installation and injecting relaxing artistic vitality into the urban riverfront.

Core Project Challenges

• Adaptation to Complex Open River Waters: The Huangpu River has a wide surface, complex tides, currents and variable wind waves, requiring extremely high technical standards for the inflatable’s buoyancy balance, wave resistance and long-term floating safety.
• High-precision Restoration of Artistic Shape: Restore the cute, round posture of the classic yellow duck and full-version trendy graffiti details on the base, maintaining vivid modeling and artistic texture at a giant scale.
• All-weather Outdoor Durability: Resist strong river winds, sunlight, rain, temperature differences and river immersion; remain non-deforming, non-fading and structurally stable for long-term display.
• Aesthetic Balance with Urban Skyline: Match Lujiazui and Bund skyscrapers, act as a visual highlight without damaging the high-end landscape temperament of the urban riverside.
