LA-based design studio Do Lab has created a series of fabric "mushrooms" to cover the audience and performers for one of the stages at this year's Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival.
The installation consisted of nine, oversized satellite-shaped sculptures distributed across a field, under which festival-goers could get some shade, rest and dance.

Do Lab, founded by brothers Jesse, Josh and Dede Flemming, has created installations and stages for Coachella since 2004.

Some of the pods sat on tripod bases, while others were suspended above the crowd
