Mission
Design of all
the inflatable elements

At ATC, I designed all the inflatable elements for the opening ceremony of the FIFA Club World Cup final at MetLife Stadium in New York.

In the centre of the pitch stood a giant replica of the trophy made of interlaced golden rings, flanked by rings in the colours of the two finalist clubs: a set designed to read from the stands as well as on television.

A stadium-scale project, where every volume had to stay spectacular from very far away while being quick to set up on the pitch on the day of the final.
