Do LaB's Macrodose Installation Transforms Coachella into a Mushroom-Coral Canopy
At Coachella 2026, Los Angeles-based creative studio Do LaB unveiled Macrodose, a large-scale walk-through installation replacing a conventional stage. Founded by brothers Josh, Jesse, and Dede Flemming, Do LaB creates intimate environments for emerging acts. Macrodose featured a network of organic, pod-like forms forming a continuous canopy, with cantilevered arms extending up to 50 feet. Over 1,600 custom-fabricated panels concealed the engineering. Inspired by mushrooms and coral reefs, the forms responded to wind and natural elements. Lighting and atmospheric elements were integrated, transforming the space from day to night. Do LaB views each project as an experiment in form, materials, and spatial connection with music and audiences, aiming for immersive, kinetic, and emotionally engaging environments.
