Digital Inflatables designed double-B inflatable letters in 2024 for Couleur 3 (RTS) and its hip-hop show Downtown Boogie, in Lausanne. The sketch gives them 1.5 m in height, 2.5 m in width and 70 cm in depth. The workshop calls it a small project, tied to the 25th anniversary of the show, launched in 1999: the caption ends with “happy 25!”.

The pencil sketch on squared paper shows the letters side by side, joined by a small bulge in the middle. The dimensions, marked in red, also give a depth of 70 cm.

Digital Inflatables describes the piece as a “small but fun” project: a compact format that sits on a stage or next to the decks.

What is Downtown Boogie?

Downtown Boogie is the hip-hop show on Couleur 3, the RTS radio station; it was launched in 1999.

How are inflatable letters used at a club night or on a show?

Placed on stage or next to the decks, they show a name or logo in volume; a blower keeps them inflated all night.

Indoors, venues often require a fire-retardant fabric, so the required fire rating should be checked before ordering.

How long such a piece takes to make is explained in the guide to custom inflatable lead times.
