Air Artists was born in 1976 by Rob Harries in a unique time where very few people knew much about inflatables.Â
At Air Artists, we specialise in creating bespoke inflatables that transform live performances into unforgettable experiences. For the Scissor Sisters’ inflatable, created as part of their reunion and summer tour, our team designed something bold, playful and impossible to miss: a giant pair of iridescent inflatable scissors that dominated the stage.
When YUNGBLUD appeared at BLUDFEST, his presence extended far beyond the music. A towering inflatable character stood beside the stage, eyes wide, hair ablaze, wrapped in stylised flames and flanked by a skeletal figure. Hand-painted and impossible to ignore, it did more than decorate the space. It helped define the show’s atmosphere before a single note played.
This is how modern inflatables are redefining concert tour stage design. Lightweight, expressive and instantly iconic, they offer touring artists, creative directors and production teams an agile tool for building visual identity and emotional tone. For this project, Air Artists was tasked with creating a one-of-a-kind centrepiece that captured YUNGBLUD’s world in physical form.
When Netflix approached Air Artists to create a striking centrepiece for the launch of Squid Game Series 3, the result was a one-off installation that turned heads across Newcastle’s Quayside. Rather than producing repeatable designs, each inflatable was crafted as a bespoke artwork, made once for a single client and event.
Air Artists, renowned for their transformative approach to inflatable art, recently unveiled a striking 5-metre inflatable Samurai. What sets this piece apart from typical inflatable creations is its meticulous attention to detail, particularly the face—so realistic it challenges viewers to question whether it is, indeed, an inflatable. This masterpiece is part of Air Artists’ broader vision: to push the boundaries of inflatable art, creating sculptures so lifelike they appear to transcend their medium. The inflatable Samurai will be showcased as part of stage set designs for concerts, theatres, festivals, and more, highlighting the incredible versatility of inflatable art.
Inflatable hand-painted giant art is revolutionizing the way live performances, including concerts and theatre shows, approach set design. This innovative medium not only adds a visually striking element to productions but also offers practical benefits such as fast setup times, portability, and flexibility. This case study will explore the growing use of inflatable art in theatres and concerts, showcasing examples like the giant beanstalk in Jack and the Beanstalk and other notable inflatable works by Air Artists.

Inflatable advertising uses large, lightweight, custom-made inflatables to create striking visual installations for events, tours and branded experiences. Rather than acting as a simple backdrop, these inflatables function as artistic centrepieces that draw attention, enhance atmosphere and deliver memorable visual impact both on-site and online.
We specialise in creating bespoke inflatable advertising that does far more than fill space – it transforms it. Our team combines artistic craftsmanship with production expertise, delivering hand-painted inflatables that become bold centrepieces for festivals, tours, theatrical performances and brand activations.
Quality sits at the heart of everything we produce. Each inflatable is carefully crafted, built to be durable, reusable and visually powerful, ensuring it not only looks exceptional but performs reliably across multiple locations and demanding schedules.
With decades of experience in large-scale installations, touring productions and custom artistic projects, we understand how to create inflatables that elevate a stage, environment or campaign with impact and personality. Many of the world’s leading organisers and artists trust our work, returning to us because our inflatables consistently deliver results that resonate on-site and online.
Our solutions are also designed for practicality. They pack down small, travel easily and install quickly, making them ideal for touring shows, multi-site events and fast-paced productions. If required, we can also support with professional operational assistance to ensure your inflatable is safely managed and presented at its best.
Crafted by specialist artists, inflatable advertising can take the form of oversized props, branded sculptures, characters or surreal shapes. Each piece is bespoke and designed to reflect the theme, identity and creative direction of a campaign or production. The material is durable, reusable and portable, making these inflatables easy to transport, set up and repurpose across multiple locations.
From festival stages and theatre performances to touring shows, parades and immersive brand activations, inflatable advertising transforms spaces with scale, colour and personality. It offers a creative, cost-effective and sustainable way to elevate an event and tell a story through bold, three-dimensional design.
Advertising inflatables offer a strong visual impact that helps brands, stages, and events stand out. Their bold scale, bespoke shapes and hand-painted finishes create memorable centrepieces that photograph well and attract attention in busy environments.
They are also practical and efficient. Inflatables are lightweight, portable and quick to install, which makes them ideal for touring shows and multi-site campaigns. They pack down small, can be reused many times and are often more sustainable than heavier scenic materials, providing a reliable and cost-effective solution for productions.
Yes. Our inflatables are made from strong, durable materials that are designed for repeated outdoor use. They hold their shape well, cope with changing weather conditions and maintain a high-quality finish, even across demanding event schedules. Each piece is crafted to perform reliably at festivals, tours and large outdoor productions.
They are also lightweight and easy to manage, which makes outdoor setup simple. The inflatables pack down neatly, travel well and can be secured safely on a wide range of sites. This allows you to move them between locations with confidence while keeping installation and transport practical for your team.
