CasaBubble rents inflatable, modular spheres for events. Envisioned by French designers Frédéric Richard and Pierre-Stéphane Dumas, the transparent, pressurized bubbles can be used as V.I.P. areas, pop-up shops, dining spaces, and more in outdoor environments. There are five different models and the structures come with a wooden floor. Solar cells and battery equipment are also available.

Nokia Lab at SXSW
Nokia set up an unusual structure to house three nights of performances during the festival's Interactive portion. High Beam Events and SmartFusion built the inflatable tri-dome with 360-degree projections of custom branded content. During the music portion of SXSW, Nokia created a V.I.P. lounge inside the Fader Fort.

The lounge had clear Plexiglas walls on four sides, giving guests the illusion they were outside.

Signage outside the domes invited passersby to step inside to try the app.
