Bubble Seats

Color Factory Houston

TMC Helix Park

May 2025

Special thank you to Color Factory Houston for bringing a pop of color to TMC Helix Park.

Helix Park is proud to be the home of a playful collection of bubble seats designed to spark curiosity and joy.

Created in collaboration with Color Factory, an organization known for immersive, interactive experiences, this installation reflects the vibrancy of Houston and the diversity of life within the Texas Medical Center. 
These colorful orbs offer more than just a place to sit. They invite visitors to pause, interact, and see the world through a brighter lens.

Drawing from the Houston in Color exhibit and our city’s dynamic palette, each of the nine shades represents a distinct Houston experience, from vibrant murals to native flora. 
This installation encourages everyone who passes through Helix Park to take in the view, find their favorite hue, and connect with the color, creativity, and spirit of Houston.

Whether you’re meeting a friend, catching your breath, or discovering a new perspective, the bubble seats are a joyful reminder of the spectacular hues that make this city and Helix Park so special.
