Digital Inflatables built a transparent inflatable dome, 6.5 m tall, for Christmas in 2020: a clear bubble set over a fountain in town, sheltering wooden Christmas trees. The membrane keeps the display and the street around it in view while shielding it from rain and wind. Another video from the workshop shows a similar bubble lit purple at night.

What does this transparent Christmas dome look like?

It is a clear inflatable bubble, 6.5 m tall, set over a fountain, that puts a Christmas display under glass.

The workshop’s post calls it a “fountain bubble”: the dome covers wooden trees topped with white balls, on a white-skirted base set on the fountain’s stone plinth. The street, parked vehicles and a building front remain visible through the membrane.

Another video from the workshop shows a clear bubble at night, lit purple from inside, on a round platform, with a few people among decorative figures and golden shapes.

How does a transparent inflatable dome work?

A blower keeps a slight overpressure inside the bubble, and the clear membrane shows what it shelters, by day and by night.

The dome is fixed to a platform or to the ground. Inside, the lighting colours the whole bubble, which makes it a landmark that can be seen from far away in the evening.

A display stays sheltered from rain and wind while remaining in full view of passers-by.

Why use an inflatable bubble for a Christmas display?

A clear bubble frames a display like a shop window, protects it from the weather and draws passers-by, especially once it is lit.

Deflated, it is stored folded until the next season. Over a fountain, it turns a familiar spot in town into a festive window display with no building work.

The lead times to plan before the festive season are covered in the guide to custom inflatable lead times.
