4-metre giant inflatable sphere for AFRO WORLD
- Budget
- 3200 €
Digital Inflatables designed and made a giant inflatable sphere, 4 m in diameter, for AFRO WORLD (afroworld.club) in 2023: a custom balloon priced at 3200 €. Grey and gold, with "AFRO WORLD" in orange letters, it hangs above the crowd in a dark venue; in other photos it stands on the floor and takes projected lettering.
What did Digital Inflatables make for AFRO WORLD?
A custom inflatable sphere, 4 m in diameter, grey and gold and bearing the event’s name.
Grey and gold, the sphere carries the name "AFRO WORLD" in orange letters. In some of the images, the letters appear to be projected onto the fabric, which then works as a screen.
Some photos show the balloon hanging above the audience; others show it standing on the floor in front of a blue stage backdrop.
How can a giant inflatable sphere be used at a party or concert?
Hung from the rigging or set on the floor, it gives the crowd a visual landmark and can take lighting or video projection.
Indoors, check the clear height, the rigging points and the fire rating of the fabric; a blower usually keeps the sphere taut for the whole event.
These points are covered in the guide to inflatable stage sets for festivals.

Request a quoteWhat size should a giant inflatable balloon be?
The diameter depends on the room height and on how far away the audience will see it from; the AFRO WORLD sphere measures 4 m.
A hanging sphere must stay clear of the lights and leave enough headroom; a sphere on the floor needs open space around it.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a 4 m giant inflatable balloon cost?
The custom AFRO WORLD balloon, 4 m in diameter, was priced at 3200 € in 2023. The price of a sphere depends mainly on its size, the print and the accessories; see the guide to custom inflatable structure prices.
Who made the giant AFRO WORLD balloon?
Digital Inflatables, a workshop for custom inflatable structures, made it to order in 2023.
Is a giant inflatable sphere filled with air or helium?
Either works: with air, a blower keeps the sphere taut and it hangs from rigging points; with helium, it floats, but every inflation needs gas.
Can images be projected onto an inflatable sphere?
Yes: the fabric works as a projection surface, as some photos of the AFRO WORLD balloon show.
Can an inflatable sphere be hung from the ceiling?
Yes, provided rigging points are built in during manufacture and the venue’s structure can carry its weight.
