Molecular Cloud is an upcoming permanent installation by French artist Vincent Leroy, commissioned by Snapchat for its Santa Monica headquarters. Merging Leroy's ethereal, floating aesthetic with Snapchat's spirit of play and innovation, Public Art Company oversaw creative development with Leroy, as well as production, in partnership with fabricators Machine Histories. Renders offer a first look at what's to come.

Monarchs: A House in Three Parts is an architectural pavillion by HANNAH, the experimental design studio led by Cornell University professors Leslie Lok and Sasa Zivkovic. Made of 3D-printed concrete bases and robotically fabricated curved wood panels, the installation debuted at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in 2024 and now resides at Lake Cahuilla Veterans Regional Park in La Quinta, CA.

The City of Indio is home to four permanent public art installations, each originally commissioned for the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. The works are free and publicly accessible year-round.

• Mutts by Oana Stanescu — Miles Avenue Park (2022)
• Colossal Cacti by Office Kovacs — Corner of Smurr St. & Miles Ave (2019)
• Sarbale Ké by Francis Kéré — Dr. Carreon Park (2019)
• The Messengers by Kumkum Fernando — Downtown Indio Park, across from Indio City Hall (2023)

Le Gran Bouquet by Paris-based architecture and design studio Uchronia, founded by Julien Sebban, is a flower forest of inflatable blooms inspired by the desert's wildflower blooms and the aesthetics of the 1960s and '70s. The main bouquet stood 32 feet tall with 19 inflatable flowers, surrounded by six satellite bouquets of three flowers each. Petal-shaped seating is integrated throughout, and all flowers are illuminated at night.

Taffy is a series of seven pastel-hued cylindrical towers created by Canadian designer Stephanie Lin for Coachella 2025, their colors inspired by the palette of mid-century desert modernism and shifting subtly throughout the day with the movement of the sun. Circular plywood benches nestled beneath each tower's slender legs as an invitation to look up into a colorful canopy above. The work is soon set to become a permanent installation at Palm Desert Civic Center Park.

Take Flight by London-based design duo Isabel Gibson and Helen Chesner is a 60-foot kinetic tower inspired by the windmill turbines that line the hills as you enter the Coachella Valley, as well as the inventiveness of 19th-century flying machines. The central tower contains a network of spinning turbines powered by a motor, appearing raedy for take off.

Theo De Meyer of the collective Stand Van Zaken designed The Terminal stage at Desert Air as an immersive space that blurs the line between arrival and departure, where beats pulse and time warps. Drawing inspiration from Palm Springs' mid-century modern textures, plane terminals, flight boards, and repurposed industrial materials, The Terminal is a dynamic assemblage that transforms elements like corrugated metal and plywood into a stage, dance platforms, and abstract light sculptures shaped like smoke stacks and paper airplanes. Set within the vast industrial hangar of the Palm Springs Air Museum, The Terminal merges the transient nature of travel with the timeless experience of sound.

Babylon by Nebbia made its debut at Coachella 2024, created by the London-based international architecture and design studio led by Madhav Kidao and Brando Posocco. Spanning 60' x 60' x 60', Babylon is an assembly of precisely stacked monoliths, made up of 64 steel-framed modules, each wrapped in plywood and coated with eco-friendly, plant-based cellulose insulation. The exterior commands attention as a striking blend of the primitive and the otherworldly, while the interior opens up to an immersive experience, transformed by 360-degree projections.

For Coachella 2023, LA-based designer Güvenç Özel unveiled Holoflux, a 60-foot-tall sculpture with a steel structure wrapped in iridescent fabric, reflecting the desert sun. By night, Holoflux displayed a series of 3D-mapped digital art, some of which was generated from cameras that face outwards from the projectors, modulating images of the surroundings.

For Playa Luna Presents, the luxury destination event producer, Public Art Company works across seven festivals a season, designing art and environmental elements that are tailored to each show.

From concept development to installation, we transform the resort venue in the Mexican Riviera Maya through art installations, bars, furniture, signage and other elements that  seamlessly fit the overall brand. PAC’s approach is to bring a mix of the client’s existing resources with enough newly designed elements each year to keep the venue fresh for returning patrons. We prioritize local sourcing, fabricating in Mexico, and working with Mexican artists and designers.

Public Art Company art directed and produced the StockX Pavilion for the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in 2022. Working with Office Kovacs, we art directed and produced a space to give festival goers a moment to pause and relax in an environment inspired by the StockX Coachella collection. The colored turf, chainlink fence, and wedges composed of common industrial materials in an exuberant palette became beacons for people to meet up, eat, drink, and take a much needed nap. Kovacs drew inspiration from James Wine's retail spaces for Williwear and skateparks.

Sarbalé ke —which means “the house of celebration” in Moré— was designed by the world renowned Berlin-based Burkinabe architect Francis Kéré for Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival 2019. The series of 12 colorful steel and wood towers (some as tall as 60 feet) were inspired by the African baobab tree and architecture of Kere’s birthplace, Gando, Burkina Faso. A smaller version was placed permanently in Indio, a stones throw from the festival grounds.

Colossal Cacti by LA-based Office Kovacs was among the most photographed aspects of the Coachella 2019 festival. Made of 7 steel and wood cacti ranging in height from 14 to 60 feet the forms, and pattern referenced the roadside architecture associated with the American South West while the use of   bright and fun colors complimented the backdrop of the California sun and Coachella Valley.

Etherea was conceived by the acclaimed Italian artist, Edoardo Tresoldi, using the artists’ signature technique of constructing ephemeral architectural spaces out of wire mesh. The three sculptures’ ghostly appearance against the big open desert sky belies the fact that they reach heights of 75 feet. After Coachella 2018, part of Etherea was made a centerpiece of a new park in the City of Coachella where it’s displayed permanently. This park has been a centerpiece in the revivification of downtown Coachella.
