AeroCherub
AEROCHERUB: THE ARCHITECTURE OF HOPE
"Where the weight of marble meets the flight of air. A moment of stillness in a noisy world."
AeroCherub is not merely a decorative object; it is a dialogue on balance. The name is a fusion of "Aero" (Air/Aspiration) and "Cherub" (Little Angel/Innocence).
Under the vision of artist Manuela Guidarini, this figure is not defined by gender. It is designed as a genderless spiritual being, representing the inner child within us all forever holding onto hope (the balloon) even while standing firm on the reality of the ground (the marble base).
The figure is finished by hand to a porcelain-like smoothness, set against the mirror-polished metal balloon. This interplay of surfaces catches light and softens the edges of any rigid space.

Made to order, then shipped secure.
Every AeroCherub is made to order. Crafting takes 3 to 5 days: molding, curing, hand-polishing. Your piece then ships in shock-absorbent packaging via our secure logistics partners.
You receive tracking the moment your piece leaves the studio.
Easy returns, straightforward guarantee.
Returns are open for 14 days after delivery. If your piece arrives with any damage, photograph it within 48 hours and email contact@thesoftminimal.com: we will craft and ship a replacement at no extra cost.
You can cancel your order within 24 hours of purchase. After that, crafting is underway.
Every sculpture at The Soft Minimal is rooted in the vision of Manuela Guidarini (b. 1986, Italy), an Architect and Artist based in Copenhagen, Denmark.
Manuela's work is a profound exploration of the relationship between geometry and mental stillness. Drawing heavily on her design background, her creations are deeply influenced by the interaction of geometrical grids, massing, and the artful balance of light and shadow.
She designs not for mere aesthetic display, but to induce the viewer in a state of calmness and stillness. For Manuela, fine art is the most natural way to communicate emotion and ensure every object we craft serves your emotional well-being and visual order.
THE ART OF SLOW CRAFT
At The Soft Minimal, we reject the culture of mass production and fast consumption. AeroCherub is a commissioned art piece, crafted specifically for you.
When you place an order, the journey of your sculpture begins through two distinct phases:
PHASE 1: THE CRAFTING PROCESS (3 to 5 Days)
-
Shaping: every fold of the drapery is formed crisp and defined before finishing begins.
-
Curing & Stabilization: The sculpture undergoes a resting period to allow the material to stabilize, ensuring lifelong durability.
-
Hand-Finishing: Our artisans meticulously sand, polish, and inspect every millimeter of the surface.
Colors & Mood:
Vivid Red: Represents energy, passion, and a bold visual anchor.
Serene Blue: Represents calm, healing, and spatial expansion.

Our Aero Cherub arrived yesterday. Have to admit that although I hemmed and hawed for a while even after a good experience with my earlier purchase of “The Speaker” I am completely blown away by the presence of Aero Cherub in our home. I have the intermediate size with a blue balloon. Since we are entertaining tonight we have chosen to have A.C., as we will refer to him here, standing guard over the per-dinner buffet since we very much want A.C. to be noticed. No question but that A.C. will be a catalyst for conversation with our guests.
Now as to A.C., he is so much more than I expected, the detail and finishing is superb. The Cherub’s gaze leads directly to the balloon above, not only leads to it, but focuses on it. The quiet awe in the child’s face and the subtle tension in the free hand are so touching.
All this has been about A.C., but I need to recognize the customer service representative who has very kindly answered my questions along the way and has made this a unique experience by making it a happy and shared experience. Best response time ever and flawless follow up.
I understand hesitation but based on my experiences I can only say that it has been nothing but the best from start to finish. Actually I am probably not finished, so I should say to date.

This company is not a scam, in fact I could not be more pleased with the way they have handled my order and consistently communicated until it arrived and was unpackaged and placed on display.
I would not hesitate to order from them again, in fact, I already have and just received notice/tracking that my new piece is in route.
I am thrilled with the quality and impact the piece has in place along side many very high end pieces.
I am not affiliated with the company in any way shape or form and welcome to speak to anyone that might be skeptical of this company.

We love it. Beautiful work of art.

Well, I was hesitant myself to order. So many Facebook scam companies. But I decided to take the risk. I bought the smallest one with the red balloon. It did take a while to arrive. About 3-4 weeks, but when it did, I was in love. Packaged with care, weighted marble bottom, perfect face and body. I couldn’t be more pleased with my purchase. If your on the fence, take the leap.

I just received my sculpture and love it. It works perfect in my kitchen. Very happy with the experience. Took a long time to receive and started to get concerned.

Stunning..Just pure joy. Highly recommended.

I received my art piece today. I must admit I was super nervous when I saw the Country of origin being China. That right there is a blocker for me and probably would not have ordered if I had seen that ahead of time. However, the artfull little person with the balloon has met al expectations. It makes me smile every morning when I walk in to my family room. Fully recommended

I’m happy with my purchase. It meets the esthetics of my office. I’m not certain of its authenticity claims, but it’s beautiful nonetheless, and puts me in the mind of Banksy.

This review is for my second purchase. I bought the red one and put it on my front porch (this was the photo I took). It looked incredible... for two days. Then, someone stole it. I'm heartbroken, but I loved it so much I'm buying another one right now
E
It’s a really nice, modern piece that breaks up all the traditional holiday stuff. The blue color looks great.
K
The red balloon really stands out and ties into the other holiday decor.

Really happy with this purchase. It adds a cool, modern touch to all our holiday decor. The quality is very good, the marble base is heavy and solid.

I was on the fence, but I'm so glad I bought this

Got this for our hallway. It looks awesome next to the garland and our "Griswold" mat. The quality is solid and it just adds something special. Love it.
S
This piece is truly captivating. I was debating between the red and blue, but I'm so glad I chose the blue. It’s a very deep, serene color that looks incredible when it catches the light

The art is life and the Soft Minimal makes us all better for it
Let’s start with the easiest-the product. Art and creation are highly personal, as is the receipt and impact by those pieces. I now have 3 from the Soft Minimal and each one strikes deep and strikes with emotion. I do not know how they capture the essence when creating, but it feels like each piece was made for me personally. Arriving at the perfect moment in time. …

Simply the Best!
I have purchased from Thesoftminimal before. The quality, the attention to detail, the love they put into every piece is truly exquisite. Words are not adequate to describe the feelings I experience when I open my carefully wrapped treasure. It is truly magical. The team, the customer service, the gratitude and respect they provide to me for every purchase I have made is like no other. They are artists and they are simply the very best!

Excellent experiece
I am please to let everyone know that I ordered and received AeroCherubs with a Red Balloon. It arrive with damage to the hand. I emailed The Soft Minimalist support and the service commitment was immediately recognized.
Asha and Manuela told me, I didn’t need to do anything, that a replacement order was being promptly shipped. They told me I didn’t need to send the damaged piece back or do anything on my end. They even offered to send me an additional piece, free of charge.
While it is unrealistic for everything to always go perfectly, when something does go wrong, it is all about the service recovery and Asha and Manuela could not have handled this any better.
I love the piece and as a “self proclaimed” service expert, I can say that customer service and customer satisfaction, I experienced with The Soft Minimal, was impressive.WB GoldbergJuly 2026

Masterpiece
I received the piece, The Echo, a few weeks ago and I almost cried. It is the most unique, exquisitely crafted form of workmanship ever. If my friends ask me about it I tell them that I have renamed it “Burdened Down” because it represents the struggles of life to me. The size and weight of this piece were surprising as well. Kudos Soft Minimal for a one of a kind masterpiece. I’m searching for my next purchase from you.

The Aero Cherub is absolutely stunning
The Aero Cherub is absolutely stunning. Purchased as a Mother’s Day gift for my wife. The first arrived damaged, but a replacement was sent right away. They could not have been nicer. They sent Ascend as a gift for the trouble. Everyone that has seen it, loves it.

Exemplary Product and Customer Support
I contacted the Softmnimal in May to find out if order was purchased how long it would take to receive. This order was being placed as a gift to a friend and I wanted it to arrive during a particular time frame. Asha was the individual who contacted me initially and followed through every step of the way to insure delivery during the time frame I expected. … I have never had any support from a business as I did with the Softminimal and Asha. … If ever I need a special item for anyone I will look to the Softminimal to see if they have an appropriate gift. I recommend this business with no hesitation.

We purchased the boy with the red…
We purchased the boy with the red balloon and instantly fell in love with him. He just makes us smile. Such great craftsmanship that we looked at other pieces to buy. We purchased two other pieces of art and equally love those as well!! All three pieces are displayed proudly in our home and we have gotten compliments already. We will definitely keep an eye on this artist and will most likely purchase something again. The quality of the work and the price are outstanding!

I absolutely LOVE the Silent Muse
I absolutely LOVE the Silent Muse, the Echo, and the black/white males throwing flowers at one another. The customer service is incredible and Asha in particular, made my purchases so ease to track and answered any questions I had, very quickly. I am definitely a customer for life. These pieces are gorgeous, arrive quickly, and customer service is extremely responsive!! If you are wondering about the quality, don't worry! These are very well made and I have already gotten a ton of compliments on them at my office. Thank you to everyone on The Soft Minimal team, for bringing these beautiful pieces of art into our office and home!
