Digital Inflatables designed and built giant red inflatable hearts for Valentine’s Day, first shown in 2023. Their soft, fluffy fabric gives them the look of a plush toy you want to hug. The workshop makes them with digitisation and laser cutting, and takes orders ahead of Valentine’s Day on 14 February.

What is the Digital Inflatables giant inflatable heart?

The 2023 video shows a heart standing on green ground in front of a white building: its slightly textured surface looks like a plush toy.

Another video shows several identical hearts lined up in the workshop, on a grey floor, with a small white box and cables at their base.

Another version, offered for order ahead of Valentine’s Day, is fully covered in red plush and sits on a red plush tube that rings its base.

How is a giant inflatable heart made?

The workshop says it itself: an inflatable heart is not simple to make, and digitisation and laser cutting make the job easier.

A rounded 3D shape is broken down into fabric panels whose edges must meet exactly once sewn. The softer the curves, the more precise the cutting must be, which is where digital cutting helps.

How can a giant inflatable heart be used for Valentine’s Day?

It decorates a shop window, a lobby, a shopping centre or an event on 14 February.

The heart is visible from afar, works well in photos and signals the occasion without a word. Made to measure, it can match the size of the venue and a brand’s colour.

A blower keeps it inflated while on display; afterwards it is deflated and stored folded until the next year.
