Created for the Popup Arcade Extravaganza hosted by Arts ReSTORE LA: Westwood initiative, the Arcade Cocktail Cabinets have become some of the most shown objects created by the Game Lab. They feature glass tops that protect the computer and monitor housed inside of the cabinet from drink and food spills. The modular controllers can be removed and switched from the cabinet’s sides to allow for a customizable play experience.
