CASE STUDY
At the Delano pool , ELASTIC completely transformed an underutilized terrace into a vibrant and distinctive destination , imbuing it with character and purpose . Custom-designed , luxurious outdoor furniture crafted from natural materials and textures complements a palette of fresh , crisp neutrals enriched with timeless brand-inspired patterns . To enhance the guest experience , we mindfully curated diverse seating arrangements that cater to various needs , from casual lounging to elevated dining in a relaxed yet sophisticated setting . Each seating vignette is strategically anchored around the central pool , offering guests stunning views and dynamic vantage points from every angle . Recognizing the brand ’ s commitment to exclusivity , we incorporated a range of seating options , including private cabanas designed to cater to VIP clientele . Playful design elements and thoughtfully created zones further enliven the space , ensuring an engaging atmosphere that feels both inviting and memorable .
Inside , what was once a transitional corridor has been reconceived as an unexpected continuation of the bar ’ s immersive ambiance . The interiors of the suites and guestrooms were revamped to reflect a palette dominated by elegant pure whites celebrating the iconic crispness of the signature “ Delano White ”. This purity is gracefully softened by rich textures , natural materials , and an abundance of natural light . Artistic and eclectic furnishings emerge against the backdrop of white , infusing vibrant hues that transform the ambiance from bustling to brilliantly serene .
ELASTIC ’ s design for Tutto Passa Restaurant captures the enchanting spirit of the Amalfi Coast with its expansive alfresco dining terrace , set by the pool and mindfully built around the natural beauty of the surrounding trees . A signature ceiling fabric feature , in a soft yellow hue inspired by Amalfi sunsets , gently drapes overhead , softening the space and adding warmth throughout . Traditional elements , such as a built-in oven , contribute to the authentic dining experience while a stunning wine tunnel connecting Tutto Passa and the Rose Bar , bridges day and night . The wine tunnel acts as a “ secret ” speakeasy-style secondary entrance to the Rose Bar or serves as an exclusive private dining room . Designed as a versatile all-day dining space , it effortlessly transitions from daytime casual elegance to a sophisticated evening ambiance , opening seamlessly onto a garden terrace that merges the indoors with the outdoors .
