Sabine marcelis\u2019 installation floats in Lake como edition<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sabine Marcelis brings her recent translucent installation of pink<\/a> inflatables<\/a> named Jelly Floats to the Lake Como EDITION<\/a>. Shown during the Lake Como Design Festival, which runs from September 14th to 21st, 2025, the installation is set to remain in place for the hotel<\/a> guests through the end of the summer season. Jelly Floats is a group of large inflatable sculptures<\/a> set on the surface of the hotels\u2019 floating pool<\/a> and overlooking the area\u2019s western shore. A series of donut-shaped floaties<\/a> by Sabine Marcelis swim around the pool, a few steps away from the dockside restaurant, lounge bar, cabanas, and daybeds, completing the Lake Como EDITION\u2019s galore.<\/p>\n

Each piece in the installation has a circular opening in the center, and the floaties\u2019 sizes vary from about 1,000 millimeters to 3,000 millimeters in diameter. All pieces are made in a single solid color, a strong pink tone. The design adapts a form that the Dutch designer has explored in her other works, including rugs, lamps, and bowls. The surprising catch is that this is the first time she has applied it to inflatable objects.<\/p>\n

The floats are meant to function both as sculpture and as usable pool equipment. They rest directly on the water surface, where guests can sit, lie, or move them, and the arrangement of several different diameters allows single use or shared use. Sabine Marcelis designed Jelly Floats in her studio<\/a> in Rotterdam. Here, the objects come to life from a translucent PVC-based material. Each float has a welded seam along its circular edge to keep the air chamber sealed, and the circular shape is produced by heat-sealing two flat rings of the material together, leaving an open center. The clear structure of the material lets light pass through, making the pieces visible from different points around the pool. The uniform pink color is added during production rather than by a surface coating, so the tone remains consistent if the surface is scratched.<\/p>\n

Sabine Marcelis\u2019 Jelly Floats is presented in cooperation with The Lake Como EDITION as part of its preview program before the hotel\u2019s<\/a> official launch in March 2026. The hotel is located in a restored 19th-century palazzo in Cadenabbia, and it contains 148 rooms, including 24 suites and two penthouses. The property also offers several dining spaces under the direction of chef Mauro Colagreco. The floating pool, where the installation is placed, extends from the lakefront and is accessible from the hotel\u2019s terrace. Jelly Floats form part of The Lake Como Design Festival, an event<\/a> that brings together works from international designers, artists, and architects. By placing Jelly Floats within the hotel pool, the event links contemporary design practice with hospitality and landscape. These pink floaties by Sabine Marcelis are set to remain at the Lake Como EDITION until the end of the summer of 2025.<\/p>\n
