Khi Khi reimagines contemporary dining and bar spaces by integrating Indian design elements with modern aesthetics.
This chic tapas bar in New Delhi features a functional and visually striking design, optimizing its modest space for an exceptional experience. The space design embodies the lively essence of its name—‘Khi Khi,’ meaning ‘giggles’
in Hindi—infusing a vibrant ambiance into its design.
This charming venue is the perfect spot to connect, unwind, and create lasting memories, demonstrating that appeal goes
beyond size. The design draws inspiration from traditional Indian handloom, tying it into the interior. Vibrant threads inspired by the looms are spun to create a ceiling weave, forming an arrangement that suggests movement and creates a mesmerizing, suspended tapestry.
This weave also functions as a false ceiling, concealing the services above. Ambient lights below this colorful weave add elegance and a touch of sparkle to the ambiance. Playful copper inlays in the flooring mimic traditional Indian rangoli patterns, offering a warm welcome to the visitors. These patterns feature exclusively in a specific area, connecting the bar seating with the booths and tables behind.
The bar is designed with muted tones and clean lines, providing a balanced backdrop that complements the vibrant copper inlay and enhances the functionality of the space.
The muted furniture provides a neutral backdrop, allowing the art and details to standout and unify the space. These subtle shades create a visual balance and enhance the overall functionality of the restaurant.
