Coachella 2025: meet the 3 new artistic installations of the festival

As the name indicates, the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival brings together music and art in a single experience — and in 2025 it was no different. Held at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California, the festival has established itself as one of the largest cultural gatherings in the world, bringing together not only big names in international music but also a selection of large-scale artistic installations.

In this edition, three new works by prominent architects and designers were spread across the vast grounds of the festival, creating points of interaction and contemplation for the audience. The monumental structures, visible from different areas of the event, were developed in collaboration with the Public Art Company, which is responsible for curating the creations every year.

Iconic works from previous editions also returned, such as Spectra, a translucent tower in rainbow colors designed by the British studio New Substances. In previous editions, renowned architects like Pritzker Prize winner Francis Kéré and the New York studio Architensions have created works for the event.

Next, discover the three new installations present at Coachella 2025.

Take Flight, by Isabel + Helen

The London design studio Isabel + Helen created a monumental installation inspired by "flying machines from the early 19th century". The structure, standing at 18 meters tall, is covered with colorful wind-driven turbines. This multifaceted windmill references previous works by the studio on a smaller scale — some of them designed for use by people with the potential goal of generating energy.

Le Grand Bouquet, by Uchronia

The Parisian studio Uchronia, known for its colorful interior projects, created a playful installation inspired by the "flower power" motifs from the late 1960s and early 1970s. The center of the work is a structure about 10 meters tall with green-painted metallic stems and inflatable flowers on top, surrounded by several smaller ones. Around the base of the central "bouquet", there are seats at various levels, painted in shades similar to those of the flowers.

Taffy, by Stephanie Lin

Canadian designer and TSOA director Stephanie Lin created an installation made up of seven cylinders, the tallest of which is 15 meters high. Inspired by the color palette of mid-20th century desert modernism, the towers have wavy facades made of mesh.

Benches fitted under the slim metal legs of the towers will allow visitors to walk inside the installation. The hollow towers were designed to interact with the sun at different times of the day.
