3.50 m chrome inflatable sphere for an Angèle music video
- Size
- 3.50 m
- Lead time
- 2 weeks
Digital Inflatables made a 3.50 m chrome inflatable sphere in 2026 for a music video by Angèle, the Belgian singer and songwriter. The workshop delivered the fully chrome-finished ball on a 2-week turnaround to the production company Partizan, for a video directed by Thomas Mailaender. Standing on the ground outdoors, the mirror ball reflects the sky, the facades and the people around it.
What did Digital Inflatables make for the Angèle music video?
A fully chrome-finished 3.50 m inflatable ball: a large mirror sphere that reflects everything around it.
In the published pictures, the sphere stands on the ground, first on a wide sunlit paved area, then in a street lined with houses with tiled roofs.
Its chrome finish reflects the sky, the facades and passers-by like a curved mirror; next to a standing person, the ball looks clearly taller.
Who is Angèle and what was the sphere made for?
Angèle is a Belgian singer and songwriter; the sphere was made in 2026 for one of her music videos.
The video was directed by Thomas Mailaender, and the order came from the production company Partizan.
For Digital Inflatables, the challenge was to go from idea to finished object in 2 weeks without compromising on the chrome finish.

Request a quoteHow is a giant chrome inflatable sphere made?
Typically, a mirror sphere is assembled from gores of metallised material, cut precisely and welded together into an even ball.
The surface is the hard part: every crease or seam shows in the reflection, so the cut must be exact and the inflation pressure well adjusted.
On a shoot, transport, ballast on the ground and a blower position away from the microphones also need planning. Usual timeframes are set out in the guide to custom inflatable lead times.

Frequently asked questions
How big is the chrome sphere in the Angèle music video?
The inflatable sphere measures 3.50 m.
How long did it take to make the sphere?
It took 2 weeks, a rush job for a fully chrome-finished ball.
Who directed the video and who ordered the sphere?
The video was directed by Thomas Mailaender; the sphere was ordered by the production company Partizan.
Can a chrome inflatable sphere be used outdoors?
Yes: in the shoot pictures, the sphere stands on the ground in the open air. Outdoors it is weighted down and the wind is monitored, as a large sphere catches a lot of it.
