The Laughing tiger

Amidst the hustle and bustle of our lives, the yearning for solace and rejuvenation drives us to seek refuge from our routines. Keeping up with this concept, Danza Del Design steps forward to craft a space that truly chants fun and freedom.

Nestled along the serene shores of Goa, this breezy restaurant and bar transcend mere hospitality. Here, every experience metamorphoses into cherished memories. The brainchild of Ridhima, the founder of Danza Del Design, this establishment embodies a free-spirited vision, melding innovation with nature to craft an immersive and joyous sensory journey. The idea behind this distinctive establishment, cleverly named 'The Laughing Tiger,' is to create an Asian-funk Bar that embodies both freedom and innovative design. The very name implies unbridled, carefree merriment, inviting patrons to savour the finest moments until the sun sets.

Upon entering the restaurant, you're greeted by a captivating bar and seating area. The space is artfully divided into three segments: a bar counter with stools, an open central area, and a separate section leading to another level. To enhance accessibility, an all-day dining restaurant graces the right, while a poolside cafe beckons on the left, with the bar at the center stage. At its heart lies a towering 19-foot bar, adorned with culinary delights that redefine design concepts. Every element here revolves around the Asian theme, from the cuisine to the ambiance.

A vibrant colour palette weaves a tapestry of boldness throughout the design, creating an enchanting atmosphere. The design team considered the region's climate, offering grandeur with a retractable roof that can either bask in the sun's glory or revel under the starry night sky. The maroon-black-gold colour scheme exudes opulence, inviting patrons to savour the finest libations in style. At the forefront, the bar showcases a tiger's tail illuminated with a yellow backlight, adding a striking contrast to the overall design. Three racks for displaying bottles, adorned with ACP sheets, mimic a glass finish. The roof, adorned with hanging greenery, butterflies, and twinkling lights, helps to maintain a cool environment despite the harsh climate of the region.

The Asian essence permeates the air, inspired by the Japanese Kaizen concept. Hanging bamboo lights sway gently overhead, casting a warm and inviting glow that seamlessly integrates with the overall design. To achieve different design gradients, iron rods were meticulously cut, painted, and installed with lights to infuse a brassy and opulent ambiance. Leftover rods found new life in the seating panels, reducing waste. A granite bench graces the bar, topped with a pop-out umbrella adorned with lights, all in a dominant midnight blue shade, reinforcing the Asian theme. To play with textures, glow-in-the-dark tables made of concrete and terrazzo were introduced, offering a rough and edgy aesthetic, creating high-design art.

Our commitment to sustainability at Danza Del Design shines through its collaboration with local artists and waste reduction efforts in design. A wall beside the bar boasts clay dishes depicting Tokyo art, created on-site with various artists using 3D paints. Notably, the bar's stools are an interesting feature, upholstered in blue with a brass finish that complements the theme. The stool backs feature coasters portraying tigers and tigresses enjoying drinks with Indonesian caps, a nod to Asian culture.

In keeping with the Asian-funk theme, the menu and other elements incorporate hints of the same. The menu aligns with the bar's colour palette, employing red for a bold effect alongside dominant midnight blue and touches of maroon. Aesthetically pleasing touches of yellow and ochre are added, complemented by graphics featuring tigers and tigresses enjoying drinks. Every facet of the design captivates the Asian theme, cultivating a lively and free-spirited atmosphere.

The Laughing Tiger beautifully transforms every encounter into an indelible work of art. Its design showcases the seamless fusion of technical expertise and artistic finesse, where craftsmanship weaves a compelling narrative, and each experience evolves into an enduring story.
