What did Digital Inflatables make for Swiss Design?
An inflatable ceiling 35 metres long, installed for Pro Helvetia and Swiss Design at Milano Design Week.
The design of the ceiling is by iiode.
In the photos, the white inflatable structures follow the ceiling of the room and wind around the brick pillars.
Why an inflatable ceiling at a design event?
For Swiss Design, the inflatable ceiling showcased Swiss innovation and creativity at Milano Design Week.
An inflatable ceiling covers a large area for very little weight: it hangs from the existing structure and comes down after the event.
It changes how a room reads: soft white volumes play against the brick of the pillars and diffuse the light.

The price of an inflatable ceiling depends mainly on the area covered, the number of modules, the rigging system and on-site installation.
The guide to custom inflatable prices gives other budgets from real projects.
How is an inflatable ceiling installed in an exhibition space?
Typically, the modules are hung from rigging points on the structure, then inflated on site with one or more blowers.
Before ordering, measure the room’s size and height, and check the approved rigging points, the power sockets and the venue’s fire requirements.
To plan the schedule ahead of a fair or a design week, see the guide to custom inflatable lead times.
