Project Time: August 2026
Project Location: Berlin, Germany
Project Type: Rooftop night event / immersive botanical installation / illuminated inflatable photo zone
Product Category: Giant inflatable lotus flower, inflatable mushroom props, LED inflatable garden decoration
Application: Night festival, rooftop party, brand activation, shopping mall terrace event, public art installation, fantasy garden photo zone
For a summer rooftop event in Berlin, the client wanted to transform an open urban terrace into a dreamlike night garden that would feel immersive, colorful, and highly shareable. The venue was surrounded by high-rise buildings and open sky, so the installation needed strong evening visibility, lightweight structure, and a soft sculptural look that could stand out after sunset.
HAFE delivered a custom illuminated inflatable lotus and mushroom garden featuring a giant purple lotus flower with a teal stem, glowing inner petals, and oversized fantasy mushrooms with fluorescent dot patterns. Under blue and purple lighting, the installation created a surreal botanical scene that worked as a main visual landmark, photo attraction, and atmospheric backdrop for the event.
The final result brought a strong “urban fantasy garden” feeling to the rooftop space—large enough to be seen across the terrace, soft enough for temporary event use, and vivid enough to become one of the most photographed elements of the night.
The client needed more than a decorative prop. They wanted a complete visual installation that could perform well in a nighttime rooftop environment while remaining practical for temporary event logistics.
| Client Concern | Project Requirement |
|---|---|
| Night visibility | The installation had to look vivid after sunset and create a strong visual atmosphere |
| Rooftop logistics | The structure needed to be lightweight, packable, and easy to move through building access routes |
| Photo attraction | The design had to become a natural photo spot for guests and social media sharing |
| Fantasy garden theme | The client wanted a surreal botanical look, not a standard flower decoration |
| Outdoor temporary use | The product required secure anchoring, blower planning, and weather management |
| Fast installation | Setup had to be completed within a limited event build window |
| Visitor safety | Soft inflated forms were preferred for a public event environment |
| Reusability | The client wanted the installation to be reusable for future brand events and seasonal activations |
HAFE created a custom illuminated inflatable garden set combining one oversized lotus flower with multiple inflatable mushrooms. The solution focused on scale, lighting effect, rooftop stability, and a memorable fantasy visual style.
The central flower was designed as a large open lotus with oversized purple petals, white inner petal accents, and a teal stem base. The wide petal structure created a dramatic silhouette against the evening sky, while the flower height and width made it visible across the rooftop venue.
The open-bloom design gave the installation a more premium and sculptural look compared with flat event backdrops or simple inflatable columns.
To make the installation feel like a complete garden instead of a single prop, HAFE added large inflatable mushrooms around the base. The mushrooms featured purple caps, soft white stems, and glowing green dot patterns, creating a playful fantasy forest effect.
This helped guests interact with the space from multiple angles and gave photographers more layered composition options.
The project was optimized for evening display. Purple, blue, and cyan lighting enhanced the lotus petals, while fluorescent-style mushroom dots created additional visual depth in low light.
HAFE can customize this type of installation with internal LED lighting, external spotlights, UV-reactive printing, color-changing effects, illuminated flower centers, and themed lighting plans.
Because rooftop venues often have limited access, wind exposure, and strict loading requirements, inflatable construction was the right choice. The installation could be packed compactly, transported through standard building access routes, inflated on site, and removed quickly after the event.
Reinforced seams, blower ports, anchoring points, base straps, and ballast options were considered for temporary rooftop use.
After the event, the inflatable lotus and mushrooms could be deflated, cleaned, dried, folded, and packed for future use. This gave the client a reusable scenic asset for nightlife events, festivals, brand activations, and immersive pop-up environments.

The client shared that the illuminated inflatable garden became a key attraction during the event. Guests naturally gathered around the lotus and mushrooms for photos, and the glowing purple-blue atmosphere helped define the entire rooftop experience.
Selected client feedback included:
-
“The lotus completely changed the mood of the rooftop after sunset. It felt like stepping into another world.”
-
“The mushrooms added a playful layer and made the photo area much more immersive.”
-
“We needed something large but not heavy. The inflatable structure made rooftop installation much easier.”
-
“The installation looked impressive in person and photographed beautifully for social media.”
The client also noted that the ability to pack and reuse the installation made it more valuable than a one-time scenic build.
| Structure Type | Best For | Advantages | Considerations |
|---|---|---|---|
| Illuminated Inflatable Lotus Garden | Rooftop events, night festivals, immersive photo zones, brand activations | Lightweight, large-scale, fast setup, glowing visual effect, reusable, easy storage | Requires blower power, lighting planning, and proper anchoring outdoors |
| Fiberglass Flower Sculpture | Permanent public art and long-term retail displays | Durable hard finish, premium sculptural detail | Heavy, expensive transport, difficult rooftop handling, large storage volume |
| Foam Scenic Flower Prop | Indoor stage sets and short-term events | Easy to sculpt, lighter than fiberglass | Bulky, easier to damage, less suitable for outdoor repeat use |
| Metal-Frame Lantern Installation | Light festivals and long-running outdoor displays | Strong lighting effect, structured shape | Heavier framework, longer installation, higher logistics complexity |
| Printed Backdrop or Banner | Basic event branding and low-budget photo walls | Low cost, fast production | Flat appearance, limited immersive impact, lower landmark value |
For this rooftop night event, the client needed a dramatic installation that was large, lightweight, photogenic, and fast to deploy. Inflatable construction offered the best balance of visual scale, soft structure, transport efficiency, and reusability.
