CASE STUDY
Delano Dubai Hotel - ELASTIC -
ELASTIC re-envisioned the Rose Bar , paying tribute to the original Miami Beach landmark . Inspired by the original Rose Bar , the interior design team conceived the entire venue as an immersive , jewelbox experience . The mirrors , delicately outlined in petal shapes , subtly reinforce the rose motif while creating a dynamic , playful ambiance that invites both curiosity and interaction . The bar ’ s flowing contours and the floral-inspired lounge banquettes further enhance the intimate seating arrangements . The inclusion of infinite dance floor tiles and discomotif furniture is a nod to the original creator of the Bar , Ian Schrager , which adds a touch of nostalgic glamour . With rose-hued marble , warm wood tones , tufted velvet banquettes , and an intimate nook the design and palette were inspired by the original Delano Miami Rose Bar , preserving the iconic identity , but elevating it into a modern , exclusive , and vibrant destination . The journey even begins at the exterior , where lush rose plantings engage the senses and set the stage for a memorable arrival experience .
Leading the interior design of the iconic Delano Dubai in collaboration with Ennismore ’ s in-house design team , ELASTIC reimagined Delano ’ s legendary style embracing modernity while staying true to the brand ’ s core ethos . We intended to merge the timelessness of Delano ’ s design language with the dynamic energy of Dubai encapsulating that same iconic vibe in the new Delano Dubai and bringing its essence to life once again . The veiled arrival at Delano Dubai serves as a signature design feature , immediately setting the tone for the guest experience . ELASTIC designed an iconic arrival experience inspired by Miami ’ s whimsical hedge and redefined it with sleek green panels that evoke a sense of mystery and intrigue . At the entrance , guests are welcomed by an inviting courtyard where a captivating lounge area seamlessly blurs the lines between indoors and outdoors . The overall design has mindfully infused elements of surprise and discovery , creating a space where guests encounter the unexpected at every turn .
