Custom mirror-fabric inflatable mascot for Heineken
In 2024, Digital Inflatables designed and built a fully custom giant inflatable mascot for Heineken, the brewing group founded in 1864: a seated robot character in metallic green, made of mirror fabric, with LED eyes. For a beer brand, a character like this draws people to a stand or a festival area, can be spotted from afar and gives visitors a backdrop for their photos.
What does the Heineken inflatable mascot look like?
It is a seated robot character with a glossy metallic green body, silver ears and feet, and glowing eyes.
Green rings of light form the eyes on its round head; a small red panel sits on its chest, and one arm rests on a silver hand.
The caption of the post describes the mascot as fully custom made, in mirror fabric, with LED eyes.
Who is Heineken, the client behind this mascot?
A brewing group founded in 1864 and headquartered in Amsterdam.
For a beer brand, an inflatable mascot gives an event a landmark that can be seen from afar and a photo subject that visitors are happy to share.

Request a quoteHow is a mirror-fabric inflatable mascot made?
The character is split into panels from its 3D model, then sewn in a fabric with a reflective surface that bounces light back like a mirror.
Lighting such as LED eyes usually sits inside the inflatable, with its power supply; a blower keeps the shape for as long as it is in use.
More characters by the workshop are on the giant inflatable mascots and characters page; budget ranges are in the guide to custom inflatable prices.
