SHIVAN & NARRESH Debuts Their First Poolside Takeover with the Palmera Pool Pop-Up
At Shangri-La Eros New Delhi
This summer, Shangri-La Eros New Delhi unveils the Palmera Pool Pop-Up — a cinematic holiday escape in collaboration with luxury holiday lifestyle brand SHIVAN & NARRESH at the hotel’s iconic Wellness Club. For three sun soaked months, the pool deck transforms into a living resort, where an iconic print sets the
scene and leisurely wellness reigns supreme.
With the Palmera Pool Pop-Up, SHIVAN & NARRESH and Shangri-La Eros New Delhi present India’s first fashion and lifestyle-led poolside takeover, setting a new benchmark for immersive luxury experiences where hospitality, fashion and wellness come together in a singular expression of contemporary resort living.
For over a decade, SHIVAN & NARRESH has pioneered luxury swim and resort fashion in India, shaping a distinctive design language defined by bold prints, sensual silhouettes and a spirit of travel. With the Palmera Pool Pop-Up, the brand is extending this philosophy beyond the wardrobe into space, evolving the vision of SHIVAN & NARRESH Homes where the brand’s signature design language translates into experiential environments. Open daily from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., the installation invites guests to step into this immersive universe, as the brand’s iconic print unfolds through thoughtfully designed objects and
spatial elements across the poolside setting.
At the heart of the takeover lies Palmera from the Araki Series 2018, shaped by Japanese
photo-art aesthetic inspired by the works of Nobuyoshi Araki, discovered during the
designers’ holiday to Japan in autumn 2017. The print amalgamates striking botanical
elements with the enigmatic gaze of panthers set against a serene Sakura pink surface,
blending graphic boldness with refined serenity. Sunbeds will be dressed in bespoke covers
set against the serene Sakura pink ground, while poolside couches layered with Palmera rugs
and cushions create relaxed lounge settings that invite languid afternoons by the water. Chairs
echo the botanical rhythm of the print, and tables are layered with statement rugs, crowned
with trays and sculptural Branchia candle stands that glint under the sun. Even the lifeguard
chair becomes a striking visual marker, wrapped front and back in the bold Palmera motif.
Service becomes an extension of the aesthetic: dedicated SHIVAN & NARRESH aprons
redefine staff uniforms, while signature Palmera trays transition seamlessly between display
and service. The environment encourages guests to linger longer within a setting designed to
evoke the effortless ease of a summer holiday.
Shivan Bhatiya & Narresh Kukreja said: “With the Palmera Pool Pop-Up, we wanted to
dissolve the boundaries between fashion, design and experience. It’s not just a poolside, it’s a
living narrative where every detail from print to service, invites guests into a world of
indulgence, escapism and unapologetic boldness. In many ways, it extends the philosophy of
SHIVAN & NARRESH Homes, where our design language moves beyond clothing to shape
environments and experiences. Bringing this vision to life in India for the first time is our way
of redefining how luxury can be experienced beyond the wardrobe.”
“We are delighted to announce the launch of the very first Summer Pop-Up at the poolside, in
partnership with celebrated designers Shivan & Narresh. This initiative reflects our goal to
bring together luxury, lifestyle, and design, while celebrating the artistic vision that
complements the aesthetic of our newly launched poolside at the Wellness Club. This will be
a part of our ongoing, Explorer’s Edit, which is an immersive wellness series that transforms
the hotel’s urban sanctuary into a “passport to global luxury,” blending ancient healing
rituals with high-fashion lifestyle experiences. Each seasonal chapter invites guests to
explore curated international wellness trends through exclusive designer collaborations,
sensory journeys, and editorial-style storytelling. – Mr. Abhishek Sadhoo, General
Manager, Shangri-La Eros New Delhi.
