Cinema that pampers
The Cinema: Room to Dream
A space-age atmosphere and magic trees, copper crowns and floating mirrors – playful design and functionality needn´t be mutually exclusive in the cinema´s „hall of adventure“. We shine the spotlight on some successful examples.

A different type of silver screen star: Anne Batisweiler, an interior designer specializing in cinemas. Her approach: get rid of the McDonald’s ambiance and peep show furnishings and fittings, replace with movie palaces where each theatre appears like Aladdin’s cave of wonders.

Swinging
A relic from the 50s proved to be a real stroke of luck for the conversion of one of the oldest cinemas in Munich. The ceiling construction now sparkles in renewed splendour and patrons get into the swing of the movie atmosphere upon entering the lobby.

Cinemas fit for kings
A visit to a cinema no longer means watching a film in just any surroundings. Instead, discerning cinema-goers are now looking for a place with a pleasant, unmistakable atmosphere. This attitude is reflected in the Munich and Stuttgart cinemas presented here. The interior designers and lighting planners have used their imaginations to spezial effect in these projects.
