Bubbletecture : inflatable architecture and design / Sharon Francis. - London Phaidon Press, 2019. - 287 pages : color illustrations ; 19 cm.

Includes indexes.

Although inflatable objects have been around for more than 200 years, architects, artists, and designers keep rediscovering this deceptively simple - often playful, and occasionally bizarre - technology. 'Bubbletecture' brings together inflatables in every conceivable size, shape, and hue across the realms of architecture, design, art, and fashion. From inflatable dresses and hats to buildings employing cutting-edge technologies, from ingenious chairs, lights, bowls, and even egg cups to children's toys and provocative art installations, 'Bubbletecture' demonstrates that inflatable design is simply irresistible.
