Project Time: April 2026
Project Location: Amsterdam, Netherlands
Project Type: Outdoor lifestyle brand activation / character-themed public installation / family-friendly photo landmark
Product Category: Custom inflatable character, giant inflatable bunny, outdoor inflatable mascot display
Application: Shopping village event, lifestyle retail campaign, children’s activity zone, spring promotion, IP-style character display, social media photo spot
For this project, the client wanted a large, soft-looking character installation that could create an immediate emotional connection with families, young shoppers, and social media visitors. The campaign required a clean, recognizable character form with a gentle expression, oversized scale, and a polished visual finish suitable for an outdoor commercial environment.
HAFE produced a custom giant inflatable bunny character featuring a rounded white head, long upright ears, simple black facial details, a seated body pose, white feet and arms, and a bright blue outfit decorated with white flower graphics. The character was installed in front of a modern retail building, where its large scale and soft minimalist style created a charming visual contrast with the surrounding architecture.
The final installation became a welcoming photo landmark for the venue. Visitors could see the bunny from a distance, approach it for photos, and use it as a seasonal campaign backdrop throughout the event.
The client needed a large inflatable character that looked premium, friendly, and stable in an outdoor public setting.
| Customer Concern | Project Requirement |
|---|---|
| Strong visual attraction | The bunny needed enough height and volume to stand out beside the retail building |
| Accurate character styling | Long ears, round head, simple face, seated body, outfit, and flower graphics had to match the approved design |
| Soft family-friendly appeal | The installation needed to feel gentle, cute, and approachable for children and parents |
| Premium outdoor presentation | The character had to look clean and polished in daylight photos |
| Public-space safety | Reinforced fixing points, ropes, and stable placement were required for outdoor display |
| Fast installation | Setup had to fit the venue’s limited access window |
| Brand campaign value | The inflatable needed to support seasonal promotion, photos, and visitor engagement |
| Reusable asset | The client wanted the character to be deflated, packed, stored, and reused for future events |
| Flexible customization | The same structure needed potential updates for different campaigns, outfits, or branding |
HAFE developed a custom inflatable character solution combining soft mascot modeling, outdoor-ready engineering, clean printed graphics, and practical event installation support.
The bunny was designed with a minimalist face, large rounded head, long vertical ears, seated posture, and oversized white feet. The blue outfit with flower patterns added a fresh spring-and-summer feeling, helping the character feel more lifestyle-oriented than a standard promotional inflatable.
HAFE adjusted the body proportions, seam layout, ear structure, printed details, and balance points to keep the bunny stable and visually clean at large scale. The result was a soft, recognizable character that worked well for both long-distance viewing and close-up photography.
Customization options include:
- Custom bunny, animal, mascot, or IP-style character shapes
- Sitting, standing, waving, holding-prop, or entrance-guardian poses
- Custom ears, facial expression, arms, feet, clothing, accessories, and props
- Printed dresses, jackets, shirts, flower patterns, seasonal outfits, or branded costumes
- Pantone-style color matching
- Digital printing, UV printing, silk screen printing, heat transfer, or fabric appliqué
- Logo printing, sponsor marks, QR codes, or removable campaign panels
- Internal LED lighting or external spotlight compatibility
The inflatable was installed in a public outdoor area, so HAFE designed it with reinforced fixing points and rope connections to support stable temporary placement. The seated pose helped create a lower center of gravity while still delivering strong height and volume through the large head and upright ears.
Depending on the site, HAFE can provide:
- Reinforced D-rings
- Webbing anchor loops
- Base fixing straps
- Safety ropes
- Sandbag connection points
- Water-weight connection points
- Ground anchor compatibility
- Blower sleeves and zipper access
- Custom anchoring layouts for hardscape or landscaped areas
Final anchoring, wind management, and electrical safety should always be reviewed by the venue, event production team, and qualified local installers.
A rigid character sculpture of this size would require heavier transport, lifting equipment, larger storage space, and more complex installation. The inflatable format gave the client the same oversized character presence with lighter logistics and faster deployment.
The structure can be deflated, packed compactly, shipped efficiently, and installed by an event crew using the recommended blower and anchoring system.
The project required a simple but polished look. HAFE focused on smooth body shaping, clean white surfaces, accurate black facial details, crisp flower printing, and a balanced blue outfit color. The inflatable needed to photograph well in bright daylight while maintaining the soft character style that made it approachable.
Optional finish upgrades include:
- Matte or satin fabric finish
- Full-color printed costume graphics
- Sewn appliqué accessories
- UV-resistant coating options
- Waterproof material options
- Nighttime LED lighting
- Branded base, scenic platform, or photo-zone backdrop
After the event, the inflatable bunny can be deflated, cleaned, dried, folded, and packed for storage. The same character can be reused for Easter campaigns, spring events, children’s activities, lifestyle retail promotions, shopping mall roadshows, and family entertainment events.

| Display Structure | Best For | Advantages | Considerations |
|---|---|---|---|
| Custom Inflatable Bunny Character | Retail plazas, seasonal events, family campaigns, photo zones | Lightweight, oversized, cute, customizable, reusable, faster setup | Requires blower, anchoring, power, and weather planning |
| Fiberglass Character Sculpture | Permanent retail displays and fixed IP attractions | Durable hard-shell finish, premium sculptural feel | Heavy, costly, difficult to transport, long installation process |
| Foam Character Prop | Indoor exhibitions and short-term stage displays | Custom shape possible, lighter than fiberglass | Bulky storage, easier to damage, limited outdoor durability |
| Plush Character Statue | Indoor family spaces and brand displays | Soft visual impression, strong character appeal | Not ideal for outdoor weather, harder to clean at large scale |
| Printed Photo Backdrop | Budget campaigns and event graphics | Fast production, low cost, easy branding | Flat appearance, lower emotional engagement, limited 3D impact |
| Balloon Decoration | Parties and short-term seasonal décor | Colorful, quick, affordable | Short lifespan, lower shape precision, limited reuse |
| LED Screen Content | Digital campaigns and animated visuals | Dynamic content, easy message updates | Less physical presence, no soft oversized character effect |
