London-based Bergman Design House has unveiled Bagheera, a new speakeasy concept in the heart of Vancouver. Sophisticated and sexy, the nightlife destination in the city’s Chinatown neighborhood draws upon the Indian heritage of its owners, nodding to the adventurous spirit of the Indian subcontinent at the turn of the 20th century. “Working on a brief centered around the namesake of the majestic black panther in Rudyard Kipling’s the Jungle Book, the scheme has a decidedly sexy, feline, feel that oozes luxe and excess,” says Bergman cofounder Marie Soliman.
