Elephante Scottsdale: Award-Winning Desert Design

Elephante Scottsdale was recently honored with the Iconic Award for Excellence in Interior Design Hospitality, recognizing its outstanding achievement in bespoke hospitality design. At the heart of the project are custom furnishings that balance Mediterranean-inspired elegance with the raw beauty of the Arizona desert. We partnered with the Elephante design team to craft bespoke pieces that bring warmth, texture, and craftsmanship to the restaurant’s inviting atmosphere.

A Partnership in Craft

For this project, we partnered closely with the design team behind Elephante to create a collection of custom furnishings tailored specifically to the space. From sculptural bar stools to bespoke dining tables and chairs, each piece was crafted to complement the restaurant’s organic materials and coastal-inspired aesthetic. The result is a seamless dialogue between design and function, where craftsmanship enhances experience.  

Founder and owner of Wish You Were Here Group, Nick Mather, shared:

“Working with Harbour was integral to shaping Elephante Scottsdale. Their attention to craft and ability to bring custom design to life allowed us to reinterpret Elephante’s coastal spirit through a desert lens — resulting in a space that is both timeless and transportive.”
