Who we are
Mood architects. Creating magical moments and producing small theatre.

About Micha de Haan
Balloon art engineer. Light artist. Since 1997.
It started on a street corner in San Francisco in 1997, folding balloon animals for tips. One dollar on his first day, just before the police sent him away. From those humble beginnings, Micha de Haan built Out of Thin Air into one of Europe’s leading balloon art studios.
The LED revolution
In 2001, Micha graduated in Cultural Entrepreneurship and Branding at the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague. What followed was a revolution: combining balloons with LED technology, creating light art installations that transform venues from the inside out. His pioneering work with illuminated balloon sculptures caught the attention of the electronic music scene, leading to collaborations with artists like Oliver Koletzki and festivals like Stil Vor Talent Berlin.
International stage
Today, Micha leads a collective of balloon art professionals working across Europe and beyond. From Thuishaven Amsterdam to Coachella, from Time Warp Germany to brand activations for Booking.com, Adyen and Salesforce. His kinetic LED balloon creations and large-scale light installations have transformed festivals, museums, corporate headquarters and public spaces in Amsterdam, Paris, Berlin, Hamburg, Frankfurt, Dubai and beyond.
