Lots of people have been asking us for giant inflatable spheres recently, so we’ve been kept busy designing and making giant balloons and hot air balloon inflatables too. It’s wonderful to know that Spring is underway and life is returning to normal again. Bring on the festivals and sports events! The sphere shape is a wonderful design for an inflatable …
Helium filled inflatable rainbows may be the more glamorous side of the inflatable business but we also provide more workaday balloons. Height marking balloons are a good example of this. We are the ‘go to’ company when architects, planners and developers want to mark the height of a proposed development. There is nothing like seeing a balloon floating in the …
When Covent Garden came to us with the idea of floating a giant inflatable rainbow over their site we agreed that it would be a great idea. What better way could there be to demonstrate the hope we all share that better times are around the corner? What’s more the rainbow has become the symbol of not only hope but …
It was only a few weeks before Christmas 2019 that we were asked if we could make some unusual shapes to be helium filled to float outdoors in London early in the New Year?! We soon found out that the unusual shapes were all in fact toothpaste related and that the event was to be held next to the London …
Here at ABC Inflatables, we love a good sporting event! So it was thrilling to make lots of helium-filled inflatable cricket balls for the opening ceremony of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019. Prince Harry welcomed everybody to the Oval and declared the competition open on 30th May. It was amazing to see our multi-coloured cricket balls around the edge …
Following hot on the heels of August’s wacky inflatable projects, September began with another funny one. We produced one of the quirkiest inflatables we’ve ever made. A giant helium-filled caricature of the Mayor of London, an inflatable Sadiq Khan! We don’t look at commissions for bespoke inflatables from a political point of view. We are only interested in whether it …
It has been an exhausting but exciting few weeks! The world-famous designer Anya Hindmarch asked us to help bring her Chubby Hearts project to life across the Capital. Anya conceived Chubby Hearts over London as a declaration of love to the city. Her idea was to float giant inflatable hearts over landmarks, starting on Valentine’s Day throughout London Fashion Week. …
August must be the month of love! We made a repeat order of inflatable hearts for our very good clients VHI in Dublin. Don’t they look great painted with the VHI logo? And then we made an inflatable heart each for Starbucks and Citi to use at the London Pride Parade. We were delighted to be creating inflatables to make …
Exciting News! We have been flying the Pink Floyd Pig ‘Algie’ again. Did you see us on the BBC One Show? Algie is a great example of an inflatable that we keep in storage and re-use time after time! Last year, we were asked to fly Algie from the roof of the Victoria & Albert Museum to promote the forthcoming …
March saw us make two more new blimps for our good friends at Hampshire Tile Warehouse. We have made the hulls in our supplier’s stock blue PU coated nylon blimp material and the fins in orange ripstop nylon – the same material that they make spinnakers from for sailing boats – just one of many colours available. And what’s more we don’t …
