What our clients say
National Maritime Museum
We hired Design’s in Air’s inflatable Mama Octopus for our World Ocean Day celebrations and it was a huge hit with our visitors! The team were great at answering all of our queries and supporting us with logistics – set up and take down (despite some bad weather) was as easy as could be. So impactful on our front lawn and such an exciting addition to a fun day!
Bolton Town Of Culture
We had an idea and Designs in Air brought it to life! From initial conversations with the team to being involved in the design, it was a fun, smooth process. When we received the final Story Palace we couldn’t wait to put it up and in 10 minutes the space was transformed and ready for an event – such an easy way to make a big impact. Our visitors love it and we have lots of Story Palace events coming up!
High Seas Alliance
Designs in Air’s inflatable octopus tentacles were a huge success at our events! They brought vibrant energy, fantastic photo opportunities, and sparked so much excitement about ocean protection and the ratification of the High Seas Treaty. The team was incredibly helpful and easy to work with, making the whole process seamless.
Bluestone Resorts
Working with Designs in Air has been an absolute breeze—pun intended! From the easy collaboration with your designers to the impeccable standard of production, your team truly knows how to bring creativity to life. Really looking forward to collaborating with you on our next project.
Kendal Calling
Kendal Calling took to the High Seas in 2024, so having an octopus engulfing a venue made a spectacular focal (and talking) point across the whole festival. With its UV design, the piece was visible and made an impact 24 hours a day exciting families as well as avid festival goers.
Communication from DIA before, during and after the festival ensured everyone from production to health and safety felt confident and well informed about the installation; including rig and de-rig. Already thinking about how we can work with the team on other events in the future!
Bona Books
Without Designs In Air’s delectable tentacles there is no way we could have had such a successful sell-out book launch! They were strikingly visible from across the convention and quickly made us the talk of the town.
The models are incredibly easy to handle, with inflation taking a matter of seconds each day.
The DIA team similarly went above and beyond to ensure we had the best possible product in challenging circumstances and we look forward to working with them again as soon as possible!
We The Curious
Working with Designs in Air was an absolute delight from start to finish. The inflatable flowers looked brilliant, drawing interest from the public and making our building come alive with fun and colour during our reopening weekend. The team are enthusiastic and professional, and we really look forward to working with them again in the future!
Sunderland BID
The inflatables draw thousands into the Sunderland every year and are an amazing, eye-catching element, that provides a unique aspect to our Halloween trail. We really enjoy working with Designs In Air and they never waver with their quality of excellent service.
Cirque Bijou
Designs in Air is a fantastic company to work with, their brilliant combination of technical skill and creativity makes them genuine leaders in their field – head and shoulders above the rest
We Are Destination
The Monster Invasion in Chelmsford 2021 was one of the most successful events the City has ever run. Working with the team at Designs in Air was an absolute pleasure from start to finish and we cannot wait for the start of Invasion 2022!
SF Parks Alliance
We absolutely loved working with Designs in Air. They helped us navigate a multitude of constraints, and the final product wowed everyone involved
Haha X Paradigm
Working with Designs in Air for their biggest tentacle inflatable project to date was an absolute pleasure. The installation made a huge impact bringing thousands of people to the Philadelphia Navy Yard a day from all over the region to see the installation. It successfully activated an area that most visitors had never been to before.
