Yes Yes Padel: Two Giant Inflatable Tennis Balls

For the grand opening of the first Yes Yes padel clubs in France, Hurrah designed a pair of giant inflatable tennis balls that look more real than the real thing.

Background

Yes Yes Padel is installing semi-covered padel courts throughout France in partnership with local governments. Playground is handling the communications for this innovative concept and has commissioned Hurrah to create a complete signage package, as well as a pair of giant inflatable tennis balls.

All parts must be removable and easy to store, since the kit is portable.

Felt balls

These two balls, each 1 meter in diameter, consist of an inflatable, airtight bladder, an inflation and deflation valve, and a safety valve to relieve excess pressure. The entire unit can be inflated as many times as necessary.

The entire piece is covered in a felt envelope made from authentic tennis ball wool (in “optic yellow”). The Yes Yes logo has been painted on, along with the simulated seams of a real rubber ball. As close to the real thing as possible.

A wooden base completes the set, making installation easier.

A complete communications kit

In addition to the balls, Hurrah provided pennants (of the beach flag type), roll-up banners, double-sided textile totems and two umbrella photocall screens .

All of these custom products are industry standards in signage. They are easy to use, durable, and have no limitations on their use. Hurrah handled the graphic design coordination to ensure consistency across all the products supplied.

The complete kit travels across France for every Yes Yes Padel event.
