How can we mimic the surprise effect of inflatables, the way they suddenly demand space, take over, and shift everything around them?


Starting from “impossible” inflatable shape - Cube, we hid three different structures inside it and zipped away. Once the cube inflates and you unzip, the structures pop out unexpectedly, breaking the cube’s geometry and transforming it into a chaotic and alive form. Making people move aside, dictating the space like it's claiming territory.
