Inspired by the cinema’s surroundings in Nanjing, the designers incorporated traditional and modern elements in the design. The main colour red is traditionally used in Chinese buildings and decorations, while contemporary elements are added to create a chic and modern look.
Throughout the perimeter, 3D red metal tubes oscillate up and down to visually represent sound waves and highlight the importance of sound in movies. The tubes are both functional and artistic. The undulating tubes stretch along the wall and extend towards the ceiling. In some parts, they turn into a horizontal straight line, representing the stillness of sound, and provide seats for visitors to rest and enjoy the decoration.
The front area of the bar counter is made of black and white marble and is surrounded by a black tube, which resembles the curvy sound waves. In the auditoriums acoustic panels of different shades of red and grey are piled up to create 3D sound wave patterns on the wall.
At different times of the day, natural light passes through the red glass door of the cinema and enters the lobby, colouring the whole space in red and creating an alternative atmosphere.
