We solved a massive logistical challenge for Pyeongchang 2018 by manufacturing 3,500 custom inflatable seats. This created a premium athlete sanctuary, withstood freezing -18°C conditions without failure, and achieved a sustainable 98% post-event reuse rate.

World-Class Standards

The Pyeongchang 2018 Winter Olympics Organizing Committee was tasked with a monumental goal: to provide a comfortable, modern, and restorative environment for the world's elite athletes. Their vision was to furnish multiple rest and social zones with seating for thousands that was both visually striking and exceptionally durable.

Frozen Challenges

In the intense run-up to the opening ceremony, the Organizing Committee was confronted with a monumental logistical puzzle: furnishing multiple athlete zones with 3,500 comfortable seats without blowing the budget. The grim alternative was deploying sparse, unwelcoming lounges, risking a wave of global media criticism and failing the world-class hospitality standard synonymous with the Olympic Games.

Built for Extremes

We delivered an end-to-end solution, providing 3,500 custom-designed inflatable L-shaped sofas and round seats. This was not just a product delivery; it was a strategic execution in large-scale event furnishing, engineered for the highest level of international sport.

Airtight Inflatable Event Furniture: Including custom L-shaped sofas and round ottomans, featured a robust PVC inner bladder for superior structure and comfort while being incredibly lightweight for rapid deployment.

Durable, Custom-Printed Fabric Covers: A fully brandable, high-quality polyester fabric cover was engineered to withstand constant use by thousands of athletes and was easily cleanable to maintain a pristine appearance throughout the Games.

High-Fidelity Dye Sublimation Graphics: Full-color dye sublimation printing allowed for flawless integration of the Olympic branding, turning every seating unit into a vibrant and impactful element of the event’s core visual identity.

Gold Medal Logistics

The adoption of our inflatable seating solution was a clear victory for the organizing committee, delivering tangible benefits:

Delivered Flawless Resilience at -18°C

The system withstood the Alpensia extreme sliding environment without a single malfunction, demonstrating unmatched durability in freezing winter conditions.

Executed Historic 36-Hour Deployment

The rapid rollout of 3,500 units set a new speed benchmark in Winter Olympics history, proving unparalleled operational capacity under tight deadlines.

Secured 98% Sustainable Asset Reuse

Designed for long-term value, the modular inventory was successfully repurposed across 11 subsequent international events, maximizing ROI and environmental responsibility.

"Seeing the complete 3D venue design in just three days felt like magic. But for the entire, physical branded environment to arrive, perfect, in New Zealand just 20 days after our first call? That wasn't magic; that was just incredible execution. "
