Giant 30 m inflatable squid for a shopping centre
- Dimensions
- 30 metres
In 2025, Digital Inflatables designed and built a 30-metre giant inflatable squid for a shopping centre. Pink with green spots and yellow suckers, it hangs under the glass roof and spreads its tentacles over the escalators. Designed for this space, the custom inflatable structure can be seen from every floor of the mall.
What did Digital Inflatables make for this shopping centre?
A 30-metre giant inflatable squid, pink with green spots and yellow suckers, hanging under the glass roof of the mall.
Its tentacles stretch over an escalator, so it can be seen from the different levels of the building, under the glass and steel roof.
It is a custom inflatable structure, designed for the space it occupies.
How is a giant inflatable hung in a shopping centre?
It is attached to the roof structure or under the glass roof, on anchor points approved by the building manager, with a blower that keeps it inflated during opening hours.
Installation usually takes place outside opening hours, with a lift platform, taking into account ceiling height and emergency exits.
Indoors, the fabric must meet the venue’s fire safety requirements: check the rating needed with the operator before ordering.

A giant animal turns the mall into a set: it gives the place a theme, is visible from the entrance and becomes a photo spot for visitors.
The same workshop also made a giant inflatable sea angel to decorate the atrium of a shopping mall.
The workshop’s giant animals and characters are gathered on the giant inflatable mascot and character page; budgets are in the guide to custom inflatable prices.
