Unique Boutique
Behold our design of Tivoli Cinema’s first location, that launched in December 2018 in Bath. Tivoli is an exciting new breed of boutique cinema, a fantastic screening venue that is also a high-end social and dining destination in its own right.
Our graphics team worked first with the cinema to conceptualise a signature brand and visual identity (view case study over here), before our interior design team dived into the styling of the first location.
Screening Rooms
The four ‘studios’ are glamorous boutique-sized cinema auditoria dressed in a palette of midnight blue and gold. Decorative trims and border details frame bold painted walls, creating a powerful backdrop to the relaxing atmosphere. The velvet-clad, sink-into, two-man and single sofas are paired with decorative block colour and tropical print cushions for extra comfort. Each sofa has handy shelves on the back for personal effects and is matched with a table for in-screen drinks and dining. The sofas on the front row are paired with velvet and leather footstools. The inky-blue fabric-draped walls are lit with soft washes of light and low-level bespoke table lamps add to the gentle ambiance. For the floor, we designed a bold carpet that features a pattern derived from Tivoli’s logo.
Director’s Lounge
The cosy, exclusive twelve-seater Director’s Lounge is sleek and sophisticated. The room has its own dedicated foyer and entrance with a private adjoining hospitality lounge featuring high-end leather sofas and an in-screen honesty bar. Dark leather seating, geometric wall-fabric and upholstered wood panels are used throughout. Dark tropical print cushions add an unexpected flair. The room is filled with custom joinery and brass accents and each of the two-seater sofas is paired with a footstool ensuring the ultimate cinematic experience. The room is available for private hire and events.
Cocktails & Dreams
The first thing which greets people on the first floor is a beautiful hero cocktail bar where five glamorous stools in a mix of antique brass, blackened steel and dark tropical patterned velvet run alongside the 9m long arabescatto marble topped bar with heavy antique brass bullnose edging and a softly lit mesh front. The exposed bar storage is crafted from a mix of rich toned timber, antique mirror, blackened metal and brass joinery. Floor-to-ceiling pillars decorated with crackle-glazed artisan tiles and contrasting paintwork are dotted throughout the space. The columns directly by the bar are wrapped by circular drinks tables and upholstered bar stools.
Lounge Lizarding
Beyond the bar is a beautiful, inviting and relaxed café-bar and lounge area. Seating and tables within the lounge include an eclectic mix of leather, wood and upholstered dining chairs and chunky tables in wood, antique brass, marble and zinc. The intimate, curved shaped sofa is perfect for romantic couples. At the far end of the space is a more formal restaurant area, the entrance is framed by curved urbandeco crittal screens that divide the space without closing it off completely. Behind the screens are full height drapes, allowing for more intimate private dining and events, giving maximum flexibility for either VIP or public use.
Powder Room
A decorative blackened steel archway, with globe feature lighting, leads to beautifully light and airy statement bathrooms. The design team created an unusual pivoting window mirror to make the most of the statement glazing within the space. The bathrooms are filled with highlight basins, bronze fretwork mirrors and terrazzo flooring. Everything is monochrome, with just a hint of colour on the floors.
