THE STANDARD, HOLLYWOOD
West Hollywood, CA
Herbert Kameon’s timeless design for the iconic hotel and pool overlooking the great expanse of Los Angeles became the perfect foil for the exotic desert and subtropical plants and trees that were engaged as co-conspirators in Elysian’s transformation of the wildly artificial environment The Standard is so famous for.
The sleek white pots, an extension of the stark white architecture range across the space to define room-like areas. Glazed white tabletop planters echo the undulating profiles of the hotel’s roofline and balconies and sync up with a capsule collection of all-white furnishings by Elysian’s sister company, Plain Air.
The looming, expressive silhouettes of Pindo Palm and Aloe ‘Hercules’ become an animated backdrop for the vibrant social atmosphere that reigns at the pool from daytime into the night.
