Tazmania Ballroom by Tom Dixon

Anna Kidman - Tuesday, March 15, 2011



Tom Dixon's first ever Asian design interior fit out has opened with gusto. Tazmania ballroom located on the first floor of the Lan Kwai Fong Tower in Hong Kong has recently been shortlisted in the 'International Bar' of the year category in the Restaurant & Bar awards 2011. Kitted out with Tom Dixon's own designs, clusters of Copper Shades can be seen suspended from the high-stud ceiling - giving the effect of a giant chandelier; along with gold plated pool tables for a luxurious take on the game. Visitors can take embrace their competitive side with the 'Ping is the New Bling' ping-pong table nights, or relax outside in a private outdoor terrace. With large decedent geometric diamond buttresses leading up the cavernous ceiling, everything in this space is exaggerated with a feeling of opulence. The interior was inspired by the  owner's own fond memories of smoke-filled venues he frequented in youth. It's the sister venue to Dragon-I, one of Hong Kong's most exclusive nightspots.
