In November 2003, Grappa, a roof top lounge combining an Asian platform with a western bar, opens in Hongdae, in Seoul. It is the first project entirely completed by the Asian branch of the former Elastico office and is an immediate success.

폭풍적인 그라빠
동양적인 좌식 의자 플렛폼과 서양의 바를 결합해놓은 루프 탑 라운지 그라빠가 홍대에 오픈 했다. 이 곳의 인테리어 작업이 한국 오피스의 완공된 첫 프로젝트로 빠른 성공이었다. 그라빠는 한국의 주요 디자인 잡지에 개재되었고 5년이 지난 오늘까지 계절 옷보다 빨리 변하는 한국의 인테리어 문화에도 불구하고 열정적인 소수의 단골 고객들에게 사랑 받으며 그대로 유지되고 있다.
