Creating a Sanctuary for Champions

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.

The 3,500-Seat Logistical Challenge

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.

An Olympic-Grade Inflatable Solution

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 Results in Logistics and Experience

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

Extreme Environment Proof: Zero failures during -18°C/Alpensia sliding events

Operational Breakthrough: 3,500 units deployed in 36 hours – fastest in Winter Olympics history

Sustainable Legacy: 98% reuse rate post-Games across 11 international sporting events

"For an event of this magnitude, every detail matters. Milin's inflatable furniture was a brilliant solution that solved a massive logistical problem for us. The quality was outstanding, and it allowed us to create welcoming, comfortable spaces for our athletes with incredible efficiency," commented a senior member of the Pyeongchang 2018 Organizing Committee.
