Design Research Studio was invited to create a slick new interior for Tazmania Ballroom, an exclusive pool bar in Central district, Hong Kong.
Inspiration is drawn from a traditional British games room and is reflected in elements such as the plaster book-lined feature wall and plush upholstery. These traditional items are contrasted with highly contemporary features such as a blue chalk greeting station and an innovative cue storage case.
The wall finishes play with geometry that is integrated with the rough concrete of the building: a faceted mirror corridor leads from the street into a sharp rock cavern; whilst metals highlight the focus areas of Tazmania Ballroom in the DJ booth, bar and pool tables.
