Sabina Extraordinair

In a city that has seen everything,
from A-list celebrities performing
songs on subway platforms. Then,
there’s the occasional transit riders
showering or preparing meals in
the transit’s underground traveling
to grab a neon-colored rainbow
bagels baked in Brooklyn,
SabinaExtraordinAir manages
to take a deep inhale and a great
leap forward contributing to this
city’s visual and auditory insanity.

In a town built on first impressions,
Sabina ExtraordinAir delivers on the
one thing money can’t buy:
SabinaExtraordinair

Her work does not merely decorate a space;
it redefines it, suspending celebratory 
moments with color, curve, and a little
bit of extra Heir. 

We’re here to bring joy by transforming your vision into an extraordinary one of a kind decor that WOWs the friends, loved ones and brings unmatched lasting memories.”

Her installations are a confident shout of invention, an elegant exclamation that quietly says:

Sabina’s balloons are far from party tricks; they are three-dimensional installations, combined typography, spelling out memories through arcs, cascades, columns and impossibly balanced towers of living lightness.

From any number of notable Staten Island soirées to Manhattan penthouses on Fifth Avenue, her creations deliver this now coveted “WOW” factor even the city’s most jaded guests will secretly crave.

Each Helium creation, column, and floating sculpture becomes a living thing of folklore, urban poetry, written in color and curvature, calibrated to the precise pitch and tenor of an event’s moment.

Her work is pure craftsmanship, which is also her secret love language is SPECTACLE.

Her promise is that your event will photographed, not be ignored, scrolled past nor forgotten. 

My family and I immigrated from Moldova* and I was very fortunate to graduate, successfully from 2 colleges and have a career in Tech that evolved into a principal business architect role.”

A baby shower in Staten Island becomes a soft, cinematic vignette. A corporate gala in Midtown transforms into a glossy magazine spread brought to life. A Brooklyn rooftop party turns into a skyline conversation between steel, sunset, and helium.

My passion for balloons started in 2002
where I saw a clown made from balloons.
I was so happy and inspired that I wanted
to know everything about the balloon art,
starting with Qualatex training tapes
by the Pioneer Balloon Company.

Now I want to evolve to how people

see balloons by creating air sculpture.”

Her aesthetics sensibilities are impressive.

Her installations have that unmistakable New York
quality: they look effortless, but only because every
detail is obviously obsessively considered. The palettes
are never random; it becomes a narrative. The scale
is not of indulgence; it is impressive intention.

SabinaExtraordinAir does not simply arrange balloons like many others do; she orchestrates atmosphere in a city that prides itself on being impossible to impress. In the five boroughs, where spectacle is the native’s love language and attention is the hardest currency to come by, her work holds the room with confident authority.

In 2002 our company was the
first to combine wire with
balloons into a contemporary
and modern minimalistic look
that created movement and
unexpected use of space in the
arrangements. Now we continue
to perfect our techniques in
realistic life-size sculptures:
people, characters, animals
and other structures.”

There is also a discipline behind all the drama. Like an architect might honor history and timelines, she transformed venues into respected opportunities where memorable, logistics matter and carry with it a deep and considered precision.

We specialize in unconventional Balloon sculptures from fun-size to mega sculptures. Perfect for photo backdrops, statement pieces and centerpiece arrangements for all types of events.”

Her clients and patrons discover that SabinaExtraordinAir is not merely a vendor, but a collaborator in framing how their event will be remembered and, inevitably, photographed and shared.

In a media-saturated city and age where every gathering is a potential headline, her balloons @ ExtraordinAir becomes your leading image—a visual that tells the story long before a single word is ever spoken.
