further zone the seating and dining areas. Lighting in the corridors drops to create a sense of excitement when heading into the ‘studios’ to watch a film, provoking a sense of anticipation in customers. Many of the decorative lights were custom-designed to create an original style for Tivoli, with modern features harmonising with ‘old-world’ chandeliers, juxtaposed with industrial-chic fixtures, shapes and finishes. The interiors and graphics teams also worked closely to merge lighting and wayfinding throughout the space.
Studios The four ‘screening studios’ are small but opulently furnished cinema auditoria. In the initial concept phases, all four studios were envisioned with unique identities and colour schemes, sharing some core materiality, but having different fabrics to the seating and cushions. However, “after chatting it through with the client,” Burles explains, “we opted for a single colour scheme, for practicality and continuity.” The final palette combines two “very bold” shades that would tie the project together visually, as demonstrated on the deep sofas and armchairs which are upholstered in “a mix of deep, dark midnight blue velvet and burnished gold.”
Fabrics and soft furnishings feature block colours, bold geometric patterns and pastels with ‘pops’ of bright colours with contrasting piping and trims. The velvet- clad two-person and single sofas are paired

with cushions for extra comfort. Each sofa features a shelf on the back 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.
Ink-blue fabric-draped walls are lit with soft washes of light, and low-level bespoke table lamps add to the ambiance. “Rather than using wall lights in the studio rooms we’ve played with lighting ‘scallop’ effects over drapes,” says Burles. Run For The Hills designed a bespoke carpet, featuring a pattern derived from Tivoli’s logo. The twelve-seat Director’s Lounge has its own dedicated foyer and entrance, with a private adjoining hospitality lounge featur- ing leather sofas and an in-screen bar. Dark leather seating, geometric wall-fabric and upholstered wood panels feature through- out. The room is filled with custom joinery and brass accents, and each of the two- seater sofas is paired with footstools for ultimate visitor comfort. “We have worked hard to continuously develop and evolve the design for the space, and the finished article really reflects our original concept, and the ideas of the whole team behind it,” says Burles. A particular plus on this project for Run For The Hills was the opportunity to expand its horizons and work on a typology that they had never played with before. The project, now finished, opened its doors in December to greet its first customers with a screening of Mary Poppins Returns. Burles and her team are eagerly awaiting filmgoers’ reactions.
